Hi, I am looking for vintage style vinyl tiles. Does anyone know any companies that make these style tiles? Thanks. Google and telephone.  Some places still have some end of line stock which they don't advertise so you need to ring and ask. Koala |

Andrew 12111211 (looks to be enough binary numbers ) , This is what I am looking at doing in my reno. (don't tell anybody  as I want them to be in awe at the nationals ) Took these photos off an American Trailer site. He has done an amazing job , I thought. Best I have seen (apart from my last effort) May cut the tiles down in size to make them look the genuine article   |

Hi try www.polyflor.com.au/colour/we're looking at theses for our floor prob best i found so far what colour you after as a matter of interest Cheers Hi gerrynshaz I am not sure what colour.We were going to go the black and white check to add our little retro touch but now seeing the pics below with the subtle purple etc, I might go original lino tiles and keeping with the 60's theme. Our cupboards will be blue and the the walls will be cream. I have added a pic below which was our first inspiration. I will have a white oven though or just a white cooktop. Not sure yet. Anyway, the debate is on... black/white check or original lino colours. If I stay with original lino colours, what two colours would go with the blue and beige walls/cupboards?  |

Hi kerri
We!re looking at doing powder blue cupboatd doors with either white or soft cream background which is simiar to your scheme.
im getting desperate and have already got a couple of samples of blue vinyl
we re looking at having either an off white or vey pale grey with a lighf pattern or specks ( this probably doesnt make sense until you see pics )
With randon blue tiles laid out.
i found some vintage looking vinyl from polyflor its a duotone cant remember the exact name (its 2.45 am home from work in bed and cant be bothered going to study to get details, happy go post tomorrow)
there s about 3 differenf shades of blue im looking at.
Polyflor dont sell to public so i asked who their suppliers and they said, carpet call, solomons, carpet choice, they said any leading floor compzny.
i called one carpet call store they said they didnt stock it/sell it.
i phoned carpet choice and they said they would ring back and let me know that was 2 days ago ( ill have to ring back)
Im looking at getting a small roll and getting it cut (by a water jet cutter into 230 mm x 230 mm tiles ) i believe thats the size of the vintage tiles) ( hopefully someone can confirm it for me)
apparently cant get it laser cut because of the fumes it will emit and the company wont risk the exposure to their employees ( i only called one company though)
hopefuly this helps somewhat
ill keep researching/making enqs
In the meantime if someone finds vintage looking vinyl tiles if you ould post it that would be great
cheers

I like your expensive Kneeling mat Murray. You must have got that idea from me?
Oh the tiles are great to!!
Did you use a jig to cut the tiles so accurate?
Cheers
