We have self adhesive tile in our bathroom. It was there when we bought our house. I can tell from other bathroom details that the contractors in that bathroom renovation cut corners, so it's likely the installation wasn't done according to instructions. The tiles are about 12 years old. Over the years, they have come unstuck every once in a while and you have to press them down again. They move slightly over time, which has opened up small gaps between some of them. A few of them have also cracked and need to be replaced. They show every bump in the surface below, as evidenced by a screw head here and there that have telegraphed through the tile. It wasn't until about 5 years had gone by that these problems showed up, but we have been living with the ugliness for the last several years. It's on my list of THINGS TO DO to replace them with sheet vinyl. I don't recommend self adhesive tiles. Ours are Armstrong Vernay Series no wax vinyl tile with a 3 year limited warranty. They are crap.
