    Default Vinyl tiles!

    Hi guys, been to look at a 11m2 kitchen floor yesterday and customer had laid some peel off back and stick down vinyl tiles about 4 months ago. In the sun they move so wants them replaced with slate effect tiles from homebase (already purchased) He lifted one of the tiles and the adhesive is still really sticky, hardie backer is not an option due to height of floor already. Any thoughts?

    Possibly SBR and then self levelling but not certain as don't know what type of glue goes on the backs of these sort of tiles. Might be worth toalking to the tile manufacturers if you can just to be sure.
