These rubber tiles appear to have the same features as VCT and linoleum – and I really love the marbleized effect. http://www.burkemercer.com/flooring/rt_marble.asp

Do you have any additional info about the general price, availability to residential customers, and resilience of these rubber tiles? We want to do VCT in our 1961 kitchen, but we’re worried that even if we put down new plywood underlayment the floor won’t be 100% perfect to lay down VCT. We don’t want to end up with cracks and chips. Also, the rubber tile company says they don’t need to be waxed or polished like VCT.
Any info would be extremely helpful!

Hi Atomic Adam, I think you need to talk to a flooring professional about these questions…

I did some research, and local flooring stores can order it as long as you are getting at least 240 sq ft (probably just in one color?). It looks like this product is a little more flexible and does not require sealing, stripping, polishing, or doing the process over and over. The downside? It’s nearly $10 per sq ft!! I think I’ll head to the ReStore and buy VCT for a quarter a piece and deal with the maintenance. 🙂
