Vinyl Tile Shrinking
My husband just put down self-sticking vinyl tiles in the kitchen. They really came out great, but about a week later, we noticed that some of the seams are separating. I don't understand the problem and what can be done to fix it? I would appreciate any help. sndyzsmbk610

Vinyl tile gaps
Vinyl tiles require acclimation to temperature of room where they are to be installed. Vinyl expands when heated and installing warm tile can cause gaps when the tile cools.
