vinyl self stick tiles
Do we need to put seam sealer on all the seams on the self stick vinyl
tile floor? Some seams do not exactly butt against the other although they are very close and under is the plywood. I cannot find an answer on all the directions for the tiles. Thanks in advance for any answers. Ronalee |

No, but you do need to get the tiles to butt up properly. |

No, but you do need to get the tiles to butt up properly. Directions for laying my vct tile over a wood subfloor stated to leave a small gap for wood expansion/contraction. I left approx 1/32" gap. Applying a sealer & wax mostly filled the gap. Bob |

I am considering covering the drywall above my shower stall with self-stick vinyl tiles, but have been wondering what to do about the seams to keep water out. |
