We used peel and stick flooring in our home. The floor is now 10 yrs old. A
couple of tiles have buckled up about 5 yrs ago due to them being at the
patio doors where the dogs were coming in all wet. They also turned yellow
from the sun there..but that would happen to any flooring. All in all I'd
say that the floor looked decent (new looking)for about 4-5 yrs. We just put
some in our new sunroom till we can afford to put in hardwood or something.
I can say the tiles lasted only about one month in there due to excessive
heat from the sun. They are still there, but heaving up.
My sis in law layed her peel and stick over lino.
