vinyl tiles

Synthetic floor covering

Vinyl tiles are square pieces of synthetic flooring material, typically 9 or 12 inches across, installed by adhering them individually to a subfloor.

They're durable, water-resistant, and cheaper than hardwood or ceramic alternatives.

Modern versions often mimic wood grain or stone patterns: We replaced the kitchen linoleum with vinyl tiles.
