    Where can I buy retro linoleum tiles such as the shuffleboard court or others? New ones of course…

      Jackie, you can still get shuffleboards from Armstrong: https://retrorenovation.com/2008/10/14/lets-start-another-movement-to-bring-back-the-basement-shuffleboard/

      As for the other pieces, you may be able to find them vintage. Be aware that old tiles like this may contain asbestos – consult with a professional so that you can make informed decisions.

    Hi Pam,
    I was very happy to see these tiles on your website. We have the cards, sun design, a sword fish(different design than the one shown), and the champagne bottle. We had a really cool chef design that was taken out due to some work that was done in our basement. I only wish I had taken a photo of it before the work was done. Does anyone sell V.C.T. with designs like these? And does anyone have a photo of the chef tile?

    Thanks, Pat (Chicago)

      when you find images like this one via google — you need to search the site (use categories, they are logical) to get back to the main post. in this case this one, it DOES show the chef: https://retrorenovation.com/2010/01/22/30patterns-for-vinyl-floor-tiles-from-1955/ Also be aware of environmental and safety issues – example: asbestos – when working with old flooring. consult with a professional, be safe.

    I am so happy to see these diecut tiles Our basement has the cards, a sailfish, musical notes, a clown, and in the center, a compass that looks similar to the sunburst featured above. Any advice for cleaning and preserving after all these years?

    Many thanks,
    Sarah

      Sarah, I advise you to contact Armstrong regarding this question. Also, know that this old tile can contain asbestos – I always advise having it tested and talking to a pro so that you know what you are working with. Send me a pic when you get a chance – sounds fabulous!

    Wow! Thank you so much for this info! We have the Rooster, the Top Hat and the Champagne bucket ones in our basement. We LOVE them so much! We never knew where they came from. I love this site!!!!
    Also, I never gave props to Karmi on there for hooking us up with some amazing green tiles for our bathroom that were a PERFECT match!

    Saw a basement in a house for sale a few months ago with the shuffleboard pattern. Sets such a fun “tone” for a rec room.
