Our take on the Achim Sterling 12" x 12" Self Adhesive Vinyl Floor Tile

The Achim Sterling is a 12 x 12 inch peel-and-stick vinyl floor tile sold 45 to a box, enough to cover about 45 square feet. It has a textured oak-look surface with a medium gloss finish and straight edges, and it installs without adhesive or tools over a clean, flat subfloor. At 1.2 mm thick it is a thin, budget-friendly tile meant for light residential use, not for wet rooms. It carries a 3.3 out of 5 rating from 678 ratings, so expect a mixed reception on adhesion and durability.

Questions and answers

Is peel-and-stick vinyl tile worth it for a kitchen?
For a rental, a quick refresh or a low-traffic kitchen, yes. It is thin and has no water protection, so it will not hold up like glued vinyl or tile in a busy, wet kitchen.
How many square feet does one box cover?
One box has 45 tiles at 12 x 12 inches, about 45 square feet. Buy 10 percent extra for cuts, waste and future repairs.
Can I install it over existing tile or concrete?
Yes, if the surface is clean, dry, flat and free of wax or loose material. Fill grout lines and low spots first, because the thin 1.2 mm tile telegraphs bumps.
Is it waterproof?
No. The listing states no water protection, so keep it out of bathrooms, basements and anywhere standing water is likely.
Does it need extra adhesive?
Usually not on a properly prepared floor. In cold rooms or at edges, a thin bead of flooring adhesive can help hold the perimeter.
When is it cheapest?
Vinyl tile like this tends to drop during spring remodeling sales and around major holiday promotions. Check the price history before buying a full-room quantity.
