My basement already had linoleum tiles that were in good condition, but they weren&#8217;t very nice looking. I wanted waterproof plank tiles that looked like wood, were easy to install over the existing tiles and would be easy to get done in a few days (my basement is just under 600 sq. ft). See how I installed vinyl flooring in my basement!<br \/>\n<br \/>\nEDITED TO ADD: A few people have mentioned that I didn&#8217;t stagger all the boards. That&#8217;s not the case. This is a multi-plank flooring, which means the small tiles are 4.5&#8243; wide, the medium is 5.5&#8243;, and the large is 10&#8243; wide. The instructions and the display at Home Depot all show that the 4.5&#8243; and the 5.5&#8243; planks, when snapped together, are treated as a single plank. Therefore, once snapped together, I staggered them as if they are one plank. Hope that makes sense!
