Hi All,

I watched a U-Tube video about home space savers.
Most everything was pretty stupid and expensive.

But one idea was a stick on flooring when you
can not afford replacing a floor. The
company's name was "poe and cola". My kitchen
vinyl floor could use this kind of stop gap.

Problem: I can't find the company. You guys know
of other companies that do such?

Many thanks,
-T

YOutube video ads are stupid as applied to me, because I don't want to
click on anything inside a video, for fear of losing my tab or my place
in the video, or even just taking more time away from the video and
losing more continuity, and often the ad ends and I don't know the name
of what's advertised. In addition, as I've mentuioned before, you
can't go backwards in one of their ads. One would think they'd permit
that, if someone like advertising so much he wanted to see it again.
After all, you can go backwards in the video itself.

A friend who bought a factory loft used stick-on tile, but the wood was
all beat up, soaked in printers ink, and the tile kept coming loose.
They've probably improved the product in 50 years, but I'll bet it says
the floor has to be flat and not too dirty. Don't know the company
you're trying to find but there are others that make the same thing.

Open the link in a new tab. Problem solved.

I often use that feature, when I'm in the MIDDLE of something I want to
finish, and see a link I'd like to see too.

I'm in the habit of ~ always using "new tab" for opening links.

We are thinking of a new kitchen floor ourselves.

I found this review for a stick on:

Yikes. Peel & Stick directly over tile on a bathroom floor.
That seems like the sort of thing a house-flipper would do.
I can see it lasting a year, maybe ..

That's what I would do, what I almost always do, but I'm still afraid to
do it in the middle of youtube.

With any luck at all it will snap him into another dimension and we

I'm betting the grout lines were telegraphing thru that tile in under
a month . The first rule of vinyl/linoleum /tile products is that no
matter how smooth it is , it ain't smooth enough . (20 years experience
in flooring trades)

I could do that, especially if I'm watching a video that's not too
interesting.

REAL BIG Maybe - use LVP instead - high quality, easy to lay, won't
lift - lasts for decades

Finally, a very smooth sub-floor is required to lay them on, otherwise
they gradually become cut by the foot pressure above and the shallow
edges below.

for a start.

The main advantages of PVC tiles are low cost, ease of replacing
individual tiles, and the fact that the tiles can be laid with only
brief periods available. In fact, a DIYer with assorted ten-minute slots
in otherwise busy days would have enough time to get a floor laid
gradually, and thus could avoid professional installation costs.
