Vinyl Tile. 1  Vinyl tiles generally come in 9- and 12-inch squares. 2  To find the number of 12-inch tiles you need, just multiply the length of the room by the width in feet (rounding fractions up to the next foot) to get the number of tiles you need. 3  Add 5 percent extra for cutting and waste.
With the right preparation and adhesive, vinyl flooring can be installed over almost any clean, dry surface. If you plan to install it over concrete, check for excess moisture by gluing down a 3 x 3-ft. piece of vinyl flooring and taping the edges.
