Over on the Forum, readers and I have identified 70 different brands. Go take a look. http://retrorenovation.com/forum. In some cases, there are photos, but not always...this is a work in progress and honestly, I do not currently put much time into it except to makes sure I capture the basic names and photos as they come in. The easiest way, of course, is if there is a label. If not, then it's a bit like identifying characteristics of a vintage car. If the brand is distinctive, you can ID it by the basic design or by the handles. Start going through the posts, too, and you can start identifying them.

We went to a flooring store the other day and found a few "new" companies that offer pretty cool looking tiles. Mannington Commercial makes VCT tiles. Flexco makes rubber tile. Also, Tilo makes a beautiful linoleum (unfortunately, it only comes in tile form). Thanks for checking with Azrock. The backs of the tiles have a PERFECT 50's look. Too bad!

Do you want me to scan a tile for you from my boxes of extras? Also, I did call the customer service line at Azrock/Tarkett to ask whether their vct tiles could be installed back-side-up. The answer is 'no' - the bottom side is not coated and would get very dirty fast, while the top side is coated and would not adhere well, they said. Good try, though!
