I know I can just scrape them off when I demo out the old lino in our kitchen (in the case of the 'backsplash', it's on top of godawful masonite "tileboard" and removal will be a snap), so the eventual demo is less intimidating.BMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07436561162467956450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23389996.post-83271248311807942002008-01-21T20:57:00.000-06:002008-01-21T20:57:00.000-06:00If the PO's of my house had never heard of sticky ...If the PO's of my house had never heard of sticky tiles I would be a MUCH happpier person! I HATE them. HATE them. They are the cheap ones, of course... $.40 a sf, when I had to go buy 10 more to replace a few months ago. My dogs and toes find all the edges and pull them up. Plus, they look so CHEAP!Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377889829748572675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23389996.post-46760394222954190682008-01-21T20:51:00.000-06:002008-01-21T20:51:00.000-06:00I've found that sticky tiles offer a short-term fi...I've found that sticky tiles offer a short-term fix, but tend to "go bad" in about 3-4 years. I'm sure that "quality" sticky tiles last a bit longer, but as you said, you start getting up into the price of ceramic. If someone has the choice, clearly ceramic gives you the resale value. Sticky-tiles are something many homeowners are already considering replacing when they're looking to buy a house.<BR/><BR/>Nice blog, BTW.<BR/><BR/>Fred<BR/><A HREF="http://www.oneprojectcloser.com" REL="nofollow">One Project Closer - Updates Daily!</A>Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12366632000942167907noreply@blogger.com
