   "Are the tiles self-adhesive or do I have to put a adhesive on the unfinished floor first?"

   You can buy both. Which one do you want. I suspect you get a better floor if you glue it yourself.

   I've done this a couple of times. Linoleum tile is very unforgiving...there is no grout line that can be adjusted to keep things square. You are extremely dependent on the quality control at the factory. If there is any variation in the tiles, you are screwed. Don't buy cheap tiles.

   But again, my experience is very limited, so I might have my head up my...

   Can I buy a high quality linoleum and adhesive at home depot or do I have to go to a specialty store?

   The dry back tile usually is something you have to

   wax. But usually comes in 1/8" thickness which

   about makes it bullet proof.

   The self stick, that I've seen is very thin but has

   a no wax surface( low maintenace).

   I purchase my tile at a specialty store. I use Armstrong 1/8"

   exclusivly. Here is a picture of a floor I did. You can get pretty

   creative with colors.

    

   Prospero won't let me post any pictures but here is alink to it.

   LINOLEUM is a very specialisted product and I believe that there are only two companies that make it and they are in England.

   Or are you talking about vynal tile?
