Big mistake using self-adhesive tiles. Convenient, yes, but short-term junk. In a year or two water and dirt will migrate into seams at points of heavier traffic/use around toilet and neutralize the low quality adhesive causing tile to curl up and lift at corners and distort/crack/catch. Oh, and previous sheet flooring installer actually did you a big favor by only gluing edges.
I bet it was hard getting the tile cut to fit correctly around the cammode drain and the rest of it looks like it was much easier to put down. The floor looks great after you completed the job.
Vinyl Flooring is available in both full-spread and perimeter-bond types; full-spread has a felt-paper backing. It is secured using an adhesive that bonds it tightly to the floor. Perimeter-bond has a smooth, white PVC backing; it is laid directly over underlayment and secured in place using a special adhesive around the perimeters.
@PathofTorah4life Thanks, I have this flooring in the font area of the house and it really looks good and is holding up well. It has a 25 year lifespan and warranty. I will be happy with half that.
I install flooring for a living and you did well . But when they curl put in one piece of vinyl . No seams is the best way to go. Remove and replace baseboard and seal tub when done.
hiding in the shower Lol yeah someone kinda phoned it in putting the glue only on the outter edges like that what kinda shady work is that? i'd be checking into your other stuff too. the glue on those tiles does not hold very well either, you should have gotten some concrete sealer to put on the floor first to give the tile something better to stick to. yeah doesn't look bad at all and good job aroung the door too, there's actually a really easy trick to getting that right.
@daddytech Little by little im fixing all the silly things they did around the house. Im the 2nd owner and its about 10 years old so I have plenty of DIY projects to go.. LOL
@mixcatcom oh you painted them white, did not noticed my stick down tile came out good, so i did my 2 bedrooms ,closets and kitchen with different colors.

Stick Tile in a bathroom is a bad idea. That's why ceramic tile with grout is used due to the moisture factor of a bathroom with a shower .

I like how your dog was such a big help. I guess he was giving you moral support. Maybe he is the inspector, Nice job!

@Iseekoutthetruth How did yours come out? Is it holding up well? I painted the wood trim white and it covered up all the chips and blemishes nicely.
