i want to lay vinyl tiles on my bathroom floor. Is there any special method/procedures i should use before i stick them down to protect the floorboard underneath from any water seeping through. or do you just stick them on to the floorboard?

Hi,
Don't lay the vinyl tiles directly onto floorboards...the movement in the boards will crack them.
You have to line the floorboards first with plywood.
After the tiles are laid on the plywood you could apply a few thin coats of polish...but that doesn't exactly make for a non-slip floor, and it doesn't make the floor waterproof.
If water penetration is a problem then you need sheet vinyl.
All the best.
