These peel-and-stick tiles are a true DIY product. They’re like stickers for the floor. Peel off the backing to reveal the adhesive and position them on the floor. They can be installed over any smooth floor surface like laminate, tile or wood. When you're ready to install a different floor, these tiles simply peel off. No need to call in the pros or risk damaging the subfloor.
With competitive price and timely delivery, trioflor sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.
Peel-and-stick vinyl flooring replicates the look and feel of wood and tile. Stone-look peel-and-stick flooring is a popular alternative to tile. The texture will give the floor a realistic feel, elevating the look of a room.
Here are a few peel-and-stick floor tile ideas to choose from:
Everybody loves wood floors but they can be pricey. Peel-and-stick vinyl plank flooring can give you the look of wood without the cost. Vinyl planks are the most affordable wood flooring alternative and are easy to install, making them a great option when you’ve got a tight budget.
Manufacturers emboss the top layer of the vinyl to mimic the natural unevenness of wood grain. This adds character and detail to the flooring, a subtle change that can make a big difference in the appearance of a room.
For the best results you need a smooth and even subfloor to apply the peel-and-stick vinyl planks. The adhesive backing is pressure sensitive, so after laying a plank in position use a floor roller to secure it to the floor.
All vinyl flooring is easy to clean. A damp mop with a splash of vinegar is all you need to wipe away spills and dirt. For high-traffic areas, opt for stain-resistant peel-and-stick vinyl flooring. It has a urethane coating that repels stains, resists fading, and is scuff resistant.
Try this type of flooring in entryways, kitchens and bathrooms. If you’ve got kids or pets, you’ll probably want to opt for stain-resistant flooring throughout your house.
Luxury Vinyl Plank
If you want to elevate your look, opt for luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring. It looks like interlocking engineered wood floors but it’s more expensive than vinyl plank and not as easy to install. LVP is still more affordable than wood floors, though.
Luxury Vinyl Tile
Luxury vinyl tile has the look of real tile, but without the hefty price tag. It's easy to install and doesn't require underlayment. A protective coating helps shield the flooring from stains and scuffs. Select a groutable peel-and-stick luxury vinyl tile for an even more realistic tile look.

In this guide, we’ll discuss the types, its uses, construction, looks, installation and your most frequently asked question, quickly turning you into an expert.
Vinyl flooring is one of the hottest flooring options on the market. Often compared to laminate flooring, vinyl is made from man-made materials to resemble natural sources like wood and stone.
Unlike laminate, this is a huge category with a plethora of different types, installations, constructions and, well, levels of awesome.
This flooring is available in planks, tiles and sheets/rolls. Each type has its own unique look and installation properties.
The most popular option is vinyl plank flooring. These planks typically mimic the look of solid hardwood, offering a warm, inviting and expensive feel to your home.
Today’s luxury vinyl planks even offer the texture and character of trending hardwood options, including handscraped and wirebrushed looks.
One of the major benefits to choosing vinyl plank flooring is the easy, approachable, DIY installation. Most vinyl plank options come as interlocking or “floating” floors and simply click together, similar to laminate. Other DIY options include loose lay (the easiest - just lay your floor down and you’re done!) and peel and stick.
For high traffic and commercial installation, you can always glue down your vinyl planks for a permanent solution.

Sheet vinyl flooring is commonly referred to as a vinyl roll, because...that’s exactly what it is! A big roll of that you lay over your subfloor.
Although it comes in a variety of looks, including wood and stone, this flooring is not quite as convincing as planks or tiles because it is in sheet form. However, vinyl sheet flooring is typically super affordable, which makes it a popular choice for commercial spaces.
Unfortunately, vinyl sheet flooring usually requires a professional installation using specific techniques that are not super approachable for the DIY homeowner.

Not anymore!
Luxury vinyl flooring is the fastest growing flooring option on the market. Now, you’ll see homeowners of all ages and lifestyles updating their homes with beautiful, durable vinyl floors.
Popular for flips, real estate agents and the long-term homeowner, the benefits far outweigh the dated idea that vinyl is somehow tackier than laminate or other man-made options.
Related Content >> Vinyl Flooring MythsThe commercial sector is kinda where vinyl flooring has always hit its stride. I mean, it’s super durable and quite affordable - two priorities for most business owners.
As vinyl has expanded with new waterproof core and rigid core options, it has skyrocketed in the world of commercial flooring. It's now possible to get a realistic wood look in temperamental spaces like commercial kitchens, restaurants, and grocery stores.
For commercial use, you’ll want to check out a WPC or Rigid Core vinyl with a thick, durable wear layer to hold up to the heavy foot traffic and wear and tear of a commercial application.
One reason that vinyl can be a confusing flooring subject is there are so many different types. LVT, WPC, Rigid Core...the list goes on, and usually with confusing abbreviations that leave the average consumer scratching their head wondering where the heck to start.
Let's break this down so you have a better idea of where to begin.
Traditional Vinyl Flooring
Your traditional vinyl flooring is, for lack of a better term, the bargain pile. It encompasses non-luxury vinyl sheets, peel and stick vinyl tiles and planks, and all non-luxury options.
This is where vinyl flooring can get its bad rap. Many people don’t know that there is a whole world beyond the bargain barrel.
These traditional options are typically thin, bendy and unrealistic in their wood and stone looks compared to modern-day luxury vinyl. They are great for a cheap flooring and covering small, low-traffic areas, like closets.
But for beautiful looks that last? You’ll want to take a step up into the luxury vinyl world.
Luxury vinyl flooring encompasses the majority of vinyl plank flooring and vinyl tile flooring you see on the market today. The biggest thing that differentiates luxury vinyl from traditional vinyl is realistic visuals.
Often referred to as LVF, it features a high-quality printed vinyl layer with those stunning natural wood and stone images that make the floor shine. It also, typically, comes with a thicker, beefier wear layer that protects these images from scratches, dents and overall aging.
Most luxury vinyl flooring comes with easy, DIY installation options and, often, great manufacturer warranties. Depending on the quality of the vinyl (even the luxury vinyl flooring world has a lot of variance), you can install luxury vinyl flooring in both residential and high-traffic commercial spaces.
Still nestled neatly under luxury vinyl flooring, we have LVP flooring, which means luxury vinyl planks. This, like the name suggests, is any type of luxury vinyl that comes in plank form.
Most LVP flooring mimics the look of solid hardwood. If you’re looking for an alternative to solid hardwood, engineered hardwood or laminate, LVP flooring is the way to go. This vinyl can look almost exactly like wood at a fraction of the price.
SHOP LVP FLOORING
And now, LVP flooring’s counterpart: LVT flooring. In what I’m sure comes as no surprise, LVT flooring stands for luxury vinyl tile flooring. The is any type of luxury vinyl in tile form.
Most LVT flooring mimics the look of natural stone. If you’re looking for an alternative to natural stone or traditional tile, LVT flooring is your best bet. Many homeowners choose LVT flooring for its DIY installation, warmth and resiliency.

WPC is flooring industry lingo for Wood Plastic Composite. Sometimes people use it to abbreviate Waterproof Core, which also works because WPC vinyl flooring does come with a waterproof core.

Yes, that means WPC flooring is 100% waterproof. It is luxury vinyl flooring amped up a notch with a special waterproof core that makes it perfect for just about any room in the house and any business.
Waterproof vinyl flooring is also known for having top-tier imagery with the most realistic wood and stone looks available on the market. It typically comes as a DIY-friendly interlocking or “floating” floor, but can also be glued down for a permanent solution.

SPC flooring, also known as rigid core luxury vinyl flooring, is exactly what you’d expect: waterproof vinyl flooring with a tough, sturdy, rigid core. The rigid core allows you to install your vinyl floor in areas you wouldn’t normally be able to.
You see, most subfloors are inherently uneven. It’s just not common to have a perfectly smooth subfloor hanging out waiting for you to come put your dream floor on top of it.
Most of the time you have existing flooring. Or uneven concrete. Or a number of other bumps and hiccups causing your subfloor to be something other than the desired pancake-flat surface most installation instructions call for.
This new rigid plank technology helps to eliminate ripples and waves that are often caused by uneven subfloors.
Like WPC, rigid core vinyl flooring has the highest quality imagery and the most durable wear layers. It also includes many DIY installation options, as well as permanent glue-down solutions.

Back in the day, vinyl flooring had a bad rap. Old, s materials often included chemicals that were later not recommended for air quality and family health.
But! It’s the 21st century. Manufacturers have come a long way in making their flooring options safe and family-friendly. Here’s a look at some vinyl flooring options you can look for to ensure your floor is safe and chemical-free.
Phthalates are chemicals sometimes used in vinyl flooring to make the floor softer, more resilient and more flexible. Although vinyl flooring that contains phthalates isn’t proven to be unsafe, it’s not a naturally occurring property and many homeowners prefer phthalate-free flooring options.
Not all floors are specifically tested for phthalates. For this reason, it’s often difficult to tell which floors contain them. Floors that are not certified phthalate-free do not necessarily contain phthalates. But they could.
If you’re looking for a fully certified phthalate-free vinyl floor, you’ll find that in many of our WPC flooring options. Check the product highlights to see whether the product you’re interested in has undergone phthalate testing.
California has been leading the way in the indoor air quality initiative. The FloorScore certification signifies that a particular product has been certified safe for indoor air quality according to California’s standards.
So, basically, it meets the highest level of criteria.
FloorScore certified vinyl floorings have been tested and certified to declare that they are free from harmful chemicals that contribute to poor indoor air quality and safety issues. It’s a quick way to ensure your family’s safety when you purchase your floors.
Many of our high-quality WPC flooring options, like TritonCORE, are FloorScore certified to provide a worry-free shopping experience and healthy air in your home or business.
Finding the right floor is kinda like finding the right pair of running shoes. The most important part is how well it will perform and hold up to the elements. Functionality is key.
Really though, you just want the pretty one. I know. This is every runner’s struggle. But it doesn’t have to be yours!
The great news is you can find vinyl flooring that meets all your criteria and still choose the look that’s right for you. There are so many gorgeous natural-looking options at every price point that you’re sure to find the perfect look. In the perfect color. At the perfect size.
Wood looks are most common in vinyl planks. Although wood-look vinyl has previously appeared cheap and dated, recent technological advancements have achieved looks that parallel real hardwood.
Top-notch options like WPC and rigid core vinyl flooring even have the feel of real hardwood, complete with the look of graining and knots that have been given an emboss following the pattern in the print.
Stone-look vinyl flooring will not have the cold, hard feel of natural stone or ceramic tile. Instead, you get vinyl’s comforting warmth and resiliency with the realistic, upscale look of natural stone.
Luxury stone-look vinyl flooring is shockingly realistic and looks stylish in any modern home. Homeowners typically choose vinyl over ceramic tile to get the aforementioned warmth and resiliency. Vinyl, like tile, is ultra-durable; however, vinyl is way more comfortable underfoot.
DIY-ers can install vinyl flooring in several different ways. Many of them are DIY-friendly. Let’s take a look.
The true DIY dream, peel and stick vinyl tiles and planks go on your floor just like stickers. Simply remove the backing and stick the adhesive side of your vinyl directly on your floor. If you passed kindergarten, you can install these babies!
Okay, this might be even easier than peel and stick! Loose lay vinyl requires no adhesives or locks. The flooring has a gripped backing that stays snug against your subfloor so you simply lay the vinyl down on top and voila! Your work here is done.
We do recommend including tape around the perimeter to hold things in place. Loose lay application without an adhesive is not appropriate for commercial applications.
Interlocking or floating floors are one of the most popular DIY options on the flooring market. This style mimics traditional click-together laminate floors.
To install these floating floors, simply click and lock your tiles or planks together. Each product comes with specific manufacturer instructions to lead you to success.
Interlocking vinyl planks and tiles are extremely popular with the DIY homeowner because you can achieve a professional look and feel without calling in the experts.
Glue-down vinyl is especially popular in high-traffic commercial spaces. Gluing down your vinyl is the best way to ensure the sturdiest permanent solution.
While you can take this project on yourself, we recommend most customers seek professional help.
If you want a stone look without the stone, groutable tiles are the way to go. These look like real stone, and with the extra capabilities of adding grout, these might as well be real stone.
These tiles can be installed using the glue-down method or using double-sided carpet tape. The next step is adding the grout.
Find an LVT-friendly grout for your tiles, and grout them just like you would a real stone tile. Pretty cool, right?
There are two main factors that determine the quality of your vinyl: thickness and wear layer. It’s pretty simple, thick vinyl + thick wear layer = higher quality*. Of course, this doesn’t mean you need 8mm flooring for every use – every situation is different and has different requirements.
Even the highest quality WPC vinyl floor needs protection. Think of the wear layer like your vinyl’s bodyguard. Do you want Screech from Saved by the Bell keeping you safe, or do you want The Rock?
A thinner wear layer means your floor is much more susceptible to scratching, scarring and damage. If it’s in a low-traffic area, you can get away with it, but on a floor that will be lived on, we don’t recommend skimping out on this piece of the puzzle.
*This is usually true. However, new rigid core vinyl comes in a thinner plank with an ultra-thick wear layer. This flooring has been specially engineered to withstand high-traffic commercial areas in a thin plank. It’s the exception to the rule.
Still got questions? Here are some of the most common things people ask. Or, you can take a look at our more extensive list:
Related Content >> Vinyl Flooring FAQThe cost varies by type. You can find peel and stick vinyl tiles for as low as $1/sqft and luxury WPC flooring up to $7-8/sqft. I know, it’s quite a range.
I’m estimating the cost based on square feet.
Vinyl Type
Average Cost by Sqft Low Average HighTiles
$$$ $610 $ $Planks
$$ $990 $$
Sheet $ $770 $$
WPC / SPC $$$ $ $$
As far as safety goes, most homeowners are referring to phthalates and other chemicals that can be found in vinyl flooring. The truth is, some vinyl does contain these chemicals.
If you want to ensure your vinyl floor is safe, check for the FloorScore certification. You can also look under product highlights to find certified 100% phthalate-free vinyl floors.
Well, that depends how you mean “cheap”. And really, which type of vinyl you’re talking about.
Many non-luxury vinyl floors such as peel and stick vinyl, are quite inexpensive and not super durable. These are not the types of vinyl floors that compete with traditional hardwood and stone.
However, luxury vinyl flooring and particularly WPC flooring and rigid core luxury vinyl are anything but cheap! These high-quality products are more durable than many natural materials and can come at a fraction of the price.
Even if using waterproof vinyl flooring, we do not recommend it for outside or semi-outside areas. UV rays can cause fading and continuous weather can damage the flooring over time.
Using vinyl flooring outside may also void the manufacturer warranty! For these reasons, stick to using itindoors.
