[VAC] Armstrong Excelon Tile?

["David W. Lowrey" <dave_lowrey@xxxxxxxxx>]

Whilst wandering around Home Depot today, I noticed a large display of 
Armstrong Excelon "Commercial Grade" vinyl floor tile.

It comes in over 70 colors (see: 
http://armstrong.com/commflooringna/product_details_toolbox_thumbnails.jsp?item_id=381 
). Home Depot carries about 12 of them in stock, but will special order any 
of the colors for no additional cost. The price was around $25 for a carton 
of 48 12" x 12" tiles.

These are fairly heavy, solid vinyl tiles. You have to use adhesive to 
install them.

Has anyone used these tiles?

Pros & cons?

Installations considerations? Since our trailer currently has a 
"commercial" grade carpet glued down, I figure I will have to belt sand the 
floor smooth. How sensitive are tiles like these to any variances or 
unevenness of the floor? If I have to fill any areas in, what should I use?

I WAS considering using Pergot, but we saw a "Lemon Yellow" tile that is 
almost a dead on match with the yellow carpeting that our trailer 
originally had. The tile would be significantly less expensive than Pergot.

Any comments, experiences and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

Dave
