How to Install Vinyl Tiles with Grout

Guide on how to install vinyl tiles with grout on a cement floor. I installed vinyl tiles in my basement laundry room to give it a cleaner look. The great thing about vinyl tiles, is that their easy to install and water resistant.

I need this for my kitchen. After all three years I still haven't put anything on the ground, it's crazy. Just need to find out where I can get these tiles in my country. The Netherlands.

I love the slides and socks

[@laurabrining1631]

They look great once finished!

Hello, are the tiles that you are using waterproof? And, can they be installed in the kitchen?

[@renoforless]

These tiles are "water resistant". Many people install these in kitchens so you should not have a problem. Good luck!

Won't the flexibility of the vinyl tiles Crack the grout? This floor will not last long.

[@TNordine6963]

That was my thought as well

[@brandonouellette1536]

Why would it crack the grout?

[@runningchief]

If it's installed properly with LVT meant for grout, it will be fine.
I do 1000s of square feet of LVT a year and haven't ran into this issue.
Just this week I went to a house that has grout cracks that needed repair. The original install was 2008, and the area effected was small (2-3 lines)
If you do get cracks or holes developing you can go right over top most of the time with the same premixed grout and clean up the line.

[@renoforless]

The tiles are stuck on to the ground so they aren't "flexible" and the manufacturer instructions indicate that they can be used in this way

[@joebonadonna2081]

@@renoforless this is a laundry room yes? So heat and moisture comes and goes a lot in there right? I don't think it's a good idea even if the manufacturer says it's ok bit I don't work with them alot so maybe I'm just not in the know.

Hi . Im planning to do my diy vinyl tile too . Thanks for the idea .what do you call for the pin you put ? Thanks

[@renoforless]

Thanks for reaching out. It's called a tile spacer. It's used to space out the tiles evenly

[@runningchief]

Please use glue.
Future you will thank you.
I recommend getting a glue that is pressure sensitive, ECO 373 by MAPEI would be best if near a flooring store.

[@MonkScience]

And knee pads, future you will also thank you

Hi, what is the name of the grout you are using, and where can you get it please?

[@renoforless]

Hi, I sued a pre-mixed grout from Home Depot. I can't remember the exact brand but I believe it was Simple Grout.

[@joanna2835]

Hi, your video is the best i have seen on here , i have subscribed and liked, thank you, you have done a great job, i hope mine turnes out like yours 🙂

[@HeyMrsWalkerTheBrand]

What is the name and color of the tile please

[@renoforless]

Hey, this is the product I used: www.homedepot.ca/product/trafficmaster-mountain-mist-peel-and-stick-vinyl-tile-flooring-12-inch-x-24-inch/1001542818

[@painintheknee1209]

I thought some kind of glue or adhesive should be done. Tile will start lifting and shrinking in certain ways, where grout will start cracking as well.

[@renoforless]

Manufacturer's instructions don't require glue so I'm too worried.

[@heytherebirdie2]

The tiles themselves were self-adhesive.

[@marischreder7627]

I feel this needs to go in real time. How can I get the concept in fast forward? Didn't learn anything

[@blackonepac]

Gd job thx new sub

[@galaxi407]

Where's your accent from?

[@renoforless]

I live in Canada

[@heinogrenz3256]

I'd install my tiles on some subfloor. Can't trust raw concrete nowadays
