Retro flooring: Some new choices, courtesy Portland Laura
Reader Portland Laura alerted me to these great, new flooring choices. Streaky 12″x12″ vinyl tile from Congoleum.
Here is the link to the Congoleum Commercial section, where these tiles are shown. They are in the “CX” section. But all sections are worth looking at: http://congoleum.com/com-tile.html
Hurray! More, true streaky choices to supplement my previous only favorite, Azrock Cortina Autumn Haze. Thank you, Laura!

Where and what are these tiles called and are they still available from congoleum? Do you have the website where I can but them?

Please also be sure to take a look at the Azrock Cortina – also a nice, streaky tile. Someone told me the Azrock also is “thicker” — which I think they alluded to meaning that it was better quality. But I am not sure of either claim – have not had time to check it out. Azrock Cortina post here: http://retrorenovation.com/2006/04/01/azrock-cortina-423-is-my-favorite-vintage50s-style-flooring/
I recently purchased Congoleum Alternatives in Aqua Spring for my Vintage 1964 Canned Ham Trailer. The color and patter I felt matched perfectly with the already aqua colored stove and sink. Check it out http://www.floormall.com/image.php/images/Congoleum/Alternatives/aqua-spring.jpg?w=275&h=275
