Flooring Recommendations

[mallik]

Hi, I'm looking to redo the flooring in a variey store, and I was looking for advice/info. The flooring right now is a thin tile that has no grout between them. I can't think of the name of them right now, but I think it starts with an E.

Anyways, it looks like crap right now, so I was trying to decide which way to go. Are the peel and stick tiles good? What are the tiles that they use in fast food places like McDonalds and some other variety stores? They look like ceramic tiles, but they don't exactly look like ceramic tiles, if that makes any sense.

Any help or advice on what would be the best and most cost effective way to go would be greatly appreciated.

VCT (vinyl composite tile) is usually used in high traffic and commercial spaces. The tile is pure vinyl and is glued down. It gets sealed after installation then is "wash and wear" for the most part. It can be waxed is so desired. Peel and sticks would never hold up in a commercial setting...

The size is about 900 sq. ft. I don't really have a budget for it, but I don't really want to go all out as it's just a small store.

Here is an idea of the type of flooring I'm looking for:

The Vinyl Composite Tile may be the stuff I'm looking for, thank you. Where might be a good place to get it?
