Is there some non-slip vinyl that comes in tile sizes so I can install myself? Prefer with no adhesive, just click together. I'm looking for this for the bathroom because I just read the previous messages on cork flooring, so I called a few places and they tell me cork is not a good idea for the bathroom as the humidity will make it expand.

Any advice on how to choose vinyl that is non-slip and any reputable retailers that you can suggest please?

There really isn't a product on the market like you are describing other than the Marmoleum/laminate product. Vinyl either comes in sheet goods (6' or 12' wide rolls), glue down tiles or peel & stick tiles. Peel & stick tiles are the DIY option, for the most part. Non-slip is another thing altogether. To a certain extent, most vinyls will be somewhat slippery if there is enough water sitting on it. IIRC, you are looking to put something over ceramic in a condo. To put vinyl down you are going to have to put a subfloor down or the ceramic texture and pattern is going to telegraph through the vinyl....
