There was a long thread on flooring back in April, 2008. (The thread is locked. I guess that means no more posts allowed.)
viewtopic.php?t=2581&start=15&postdays= ... highlight=
In that thread I stated I would follow-up on any problems with the Cryntel 12 x 12 stickdown tiles that were put down over the OEM vinyl flooring.
One minor problem: I have noticed a separation in two high traffic areas. One of the tiles in each place is actually sliding sideways about a tenth of an inch (.100"), thus causing a gap.
In both places it's tile that is adjacent to the partial tile next to a wall.
The fix I came up with was to pull up and discard the full tile that had moved. Remove the baseboard moulding and the partial tile that goes under the baseboard. Install a new full tile and partial tile.
Tack the edge of the partial tile with small nails, near the wall edge so the moulding, when replaced, will cover the nails.
I figure if I can keep the tile under the baseboard from slip-sliding (due to heavy foot traffic) then the full tile will not have any place to go. But I'll be watching it to see.
Otherwise, I have had absolutely zero problems with this durable tile. It's now over 2.5 years old. I'm pleased with it. I'd do it again.
***********************************************
On another subject, same thread, the Cryntel tile (same as the floor tile) I put on the bathroom counter is doing very well and shows no wear and tear.
I now plan on doing the kitchen counter with this same stone-look Cryntel tile. I'll post some photos before and after.
