Removable Flooring - Removable Floor Tiles for Renters or Homeowners on the Cheap

If you are looking for a quick way to cover old flooring without digging it up or huge expense, removable vinyl tiles or planks is the way to go.

The only way to make them removable is to use double sided carpet tape.  This is the only way you can take them back up again with no residue when you move.  Do not peel and stick or use any glues.

You can get these vinyl tiles or the wood like planks online and I have to tell you, this is a very easy way to transform a worn out ugly floor.

If you are a renter, you don't have to put up with an ugly floor just because your landlord won't change it especially in the kitchen.  This is where some of the worst flooring tends to live.  Old beat up tiles, or wood that has lost its finish and is pretty ugly.

How to Install Removable Vinyl Tiles or Planks in this Case

Step 1 - Make sure the present old floor is clean, no crumbs or bits to interfere with new tiles.

Step 2 - Create a grid using double sided carpet tape.  The beauty of this tape is that it will hold the vinyl tiles in place but can be removed and will leave no residue.  Perfect for renters!


You may need a few rolls of this, but still a cheap investment.  Don't use any glues just make this grid on the floor.  Check out the video below:

Step 3 - Only peel back the tape covering as you go so you don't get dirt on exposed tape as you can see in this video.

Step 4 - ENJOY!

This is the way to go especially if you are a renter, but a homeowner can also use this route to temporarily cover old wood or tiled floors if the budget says NO to a complete gut and replace.  You can also use click together floors such as laminate, but they can cost a fair bit more and the vinyl works well in the kitchen, which is usually where the worst floor covering lives.
