OK first thing, the floor has to be level! if you can rub your foot over it and feel any waves in it, you will have to level the floor first. VCT will peel up if it is not level. they make a product called, "floor leveler", (appropriately enough), for this. but i would not encourage you to take this on.
however assuming the floor is good and level, you will want to use a good grade glue along with the adhesive backing on the tile. it is CRUCIAL that you put the correct amount of glue down and let it cure. i suggest you ask the local hardware guy the appropriate knife to use to apply the glue for the brand of tile. they make different knives that put down differnet amounts of glue. YOU MUST ASK SOMEONE AT THE STORE WHO CAN LOOK AT YOUR TILE AND GLUE ABOUT THIS!!!!! too much glue and tile will "float", not enough and it will not stick!
i assume you know to start in the center and also VCT tile is directional. each piece has a little arrow on it that points the direction it MUST be layed. all arrows in the same direction and youre cool...
make sure you get the right glue for your tile and correct amount down. measure the floor space, center the first tile, and work out and towards the walls, (this makes the final cuts at the walls even on all sides), and finally remember the directional arrows on the tiles! YOU can do this thing! hope this helps!
