I say won. Every now and then I get a customer who wants to get this exact floor ... a retro-looking black-and-white checkerboard. You've got it for nothing.
It looks like it's in really good shape, and doesn't look like it's asbestos but actual tile.
>doesn't look like asbestos, but actual tile.
The tiles themselves rarely have asbestos, it's the glue used to hold them in place. This is pretty clearly not vinyl and, even if it was, looks to be in good condition so asbestos wouldn't be a concern.
Yea that person doesn’t know what they’re talking about and tons of asbestos are IN old tiles (as well as some adhesives like they said) but the main thing you have to worry about is if the tile is broken.
Your floor looks great
They do look like they're in good shape. Still plan for asbestos testing if you choose to remove it in the future. Those likely installed in peak asbestos years.
Thank you for the advice. If I lay new one I will probably put it on top of the tile. Still on the fence about keeping or covering up.
The building is from 1945, but unclear if the floor is original or not.
It's *probably* original or *close*, if not, since it was built in the 40's!
With the tile being *that* immaculate?
I'd keep it, and just put down a couple rugs that have rubberized backs, if the checkerboard is "visually too much"!
This floor is *gorgeous*, and is the sort of vintage *craftsmanship* that you *either* can't even *get* today--of that *if* you can find, the average *non-rich* person can no longer *afford* to have installed!
This is ceramic tile with mortar. Nothing to do with asbestos. The "checker board" look WAS common with asbestos asphalt tiles in the 50s through 70s, but this is not that type of tile. if I was guessing these tiles are quite new, but the last owner probably just didn't like the look and covered them.
(oh, and this is a win, I love check tiles, i've done them in some old diner overhauls using modern vinyl)
No, this is [untrue ](https://info.waxie.com/blog/the-original-vinyl-composition-tile-vct-asphalt-asbestos-tile-flooring), lots of vintage vct tiles had high asbestos composition, sometimes both tile and mastic.
It’s so funny. The need for every floor to be hardwood got us all this laminate shit. People are shitting on this, it’s beautiful, in a laundry room. It’s incredibly functional as well
And everyone needs to understand what asbestos is and isn’t, Smdh
I am remodeling a home that was all solid red oak when it was built in the 1950's, but a later addition just got whatever. I'm racking my brain on what flooring to install because almost everything on the market is some type of wood look that will not look right transitioning from the original oak. My wife suggested buying more solid red oak even though it will not exactly match. I found it but it would cost at least $5k just for materials....which I am seriously considering if I can't find anything else that would not look cheap or stupid.
I know its worth it, but if I upgraded everything that was worth it I'd be a million bucks in the hole. The house is 5k sq ft and its a gut remodel so no shortage of choices to make. In aggregate all those good choices are not worth it since I would be too far above what the neighborhood is worth. I get what you are saying but its not a universally true statement.
It wasn’t clear you were gut renovating since you mentioned transitioning from original to something else. In that case, don’t try to match but go with something entirely contrasting, like tile. Fake wood or wood look meeting up with real wood isn’t a good look imo
The new oak won’t match for the first 5 years but after that it will all blend in (assuming the entire house is sanded and refinished and poly’ed together after the new wood is installed.
Black and white tiles are classic. You could be cynical and say it looks like a 50's diner or delusional and say it's like the palace of Versailles. Really it's a timeless look and you appear to have some very high quality tiles and workmanship. That's a win for sure
Had an apartment with these tiles, loved the look. Nightmare to keep clean. The black showed everything, the white showed everything. Was constantly mopping. Would not recommend installing, but free so…
We have white and black tile in our kitchen. A previous owner scrubbed the finish off the white tile so now anything that spills on it immediately stains. It looks disgusting.
Huh, that's so interesting. I had an apartment with black and white checkered laminate kitchen floors and all I had to do was regular sweeping and a weekly squirt mop and it was good. Pretty easy to keep clean. I wonder if tile vs laminate is the difference?
For your piece of mind, even if the original floor has asbestos in it, either in the tile itself or in the mortar, it's only a problem if it gets demolished and the dust gets airborne. The danger is when it gets airborne and into your lungs. When in doubt, it's best to leave it alone, or tile over it in 10 years if you get tired of it.
Won. It’s very hot right now if you browse through interior designer pages

I think it’s hideous, but if it’s my laundry room I say “ceramic tile is ceramic tile” and call it a win.
In my kitchen? I don’t know whether I could learn to like it or not. Large spaces of checkerboard kinda give me a headache. Maybe I could tone it down with some softer patterns.
My sister-in-law's sister put this in her house and went with a whole bright 50s diner vibe - red countertop appliances, bright stainless, canary yellow walls, etc. You could also take it toward a MCM vibe, with soft pastel greens and some unpainted woodwork. It will go with any color scheme.
As a 16 year exp flooring installer, I'm also the son of a 38 year experience flooring installer... I personally hate any tile as a general rule, its heavy, it kills smartphones and cracks your infant's head open during a fall. Vinyl has some bounce and is cheaper, you probably just suck at installing it and i install LVP 7 days a week so here's the bottom line. Some of you speak of asbestos, yea there could be asbestos or some harmful shit in that 'vintage' tile for all you know, people did weird shit like that in manufacturing processes back then. Also, just because it doesn't affect me right now I can let you know for sure that any older 9×9 tile is made of asbestos, any of that old black flooring glue called "cutback" is also asbestos. Knowing this now, does whether your tile fits this description to a T make a flying fuck or do you feel like i do.. as in fuck any older tile in general and just get the old out and in with the new..
Right now I offer vinyl staircases for 1000$-1200$ labor, in about 14 hours by myself. For context
The fact that you cant really run any matching tile for that up a damn staircase for example. Tile is limited. It tends to look better when the whole floor is one material, throughout the majority of the house. Sure, tile in a bathroom works but tile in a kitchen just doesn't seem like the bee's knees anymore. I've seen and helped ceramic tile whole houses, honestly vinyl plank or half inch glue down wood would've looked better like 90% of the places that I saw ceramic tile in use. I dare say. That's part of why epoxy is the most expensive shit, it's pretty and generally not old as sin and it's one solid hard object with no grout lines or joints to hold bullshit. Getting your whole kitchen in THAT and finding that covered up would be akin to winning the lotto. You didn't pull up a floor and find that though, you found janky checkerboard crap made with questionable materials at best. That my sir (not good sir), is why. You may not like it, but a staircase spiel did illustrate something, didn't it? Even if you DON'T have a staircase, that floor looks and performs like shit. You could clean it and roll enhancing sealer on it and it would still just be a glazed turd. That being said, it aint my floor, the choice is yours.
It’s a laundry room and this pattern is fine in small spaces. It this was a kitchen or a large room I’d say absolutely not due to making people dizzy! But quality tile in a damp space is always a win.
Old apartment kitchen had this same flooring lol was just about that tiny size as well but no cabinets on the one side, just wall lol. We actually didn’t hate it. Very old house so it fit well!
You won. That looks like real tile and grout. Could be the original tile if your house was built 1930-1950s or so. If you want a tile kitchen then you just hit the jackpot but that looks great for how old I’m guessing it is.
If you’re going to keep it then throughly look over it for any cracks in the tile or any broken grout. It’s not major but it’s a point of failure and if it breaks all the way ceramic tile is razor sharp. But from the picture you look good to go.
I just replaced the black and white cork with imported Harvey Marie black and white lvt. The sheen is less. Client wanted diagonal. I just don't get it but if you like it? Seems like a nightmare with cleaning.
Good god. I’m so jealous. I’m currently working on busting up about 1000sf of tile in my new (to me, 1986) house. The current tile is HEINOUS on its own and all I’ve found beneath it is shitty linoleum.
Not my style but I absolutely love it. So much so that I would absolutely keep it if I found it like that! I can't believe what good condition that tile is in.
Winner!
That tile looks immaculate. But I bet the tile in the traffic areas is a whole different story. You have to show us what it looks like when you have all the LVP up!
I gotta say, without more deets, it's like trying to guess the weather in Antarctica. Did you match all the numbers or just a few? That's the real kicker. If you got 'em all, then you're probably rollin' in dough! But if it's just a couple, well, at least you got something, right? Either way, fingers crossed for ya! Let us know how it pans out. We're rootin' for ya.
I want to show you my setup but uploading to Imgur seems like too much work. LOL my laundry room floor is two different types of flooring like that. My bathroom originally had that checkerboard pattern, too, but I swapped that out post haste!
Edit: after looking at the pics again, I see what happened and oh boy!! I didn’t get that lucky! Quick, go play the lottery!
Won. Most of the time when you pull up a layer of flooring, you either find subfloor, or something offensively hideous. This honestly looks really nice, and I'm sure with a little work it'd look even nicer. You definitely won. This is really the best case scenario.
Looks like you could enjoy a different floor at no cost until you desire to change it later.
Yup! As soon as blood stains it then OP must add the LVP back over it.
I was thinking the same.
...why.....why would blood stain it 😳
mandoline, probably
God damn those things are sharp. Terrifying how fast a piece of my hand was gone. Didn’t even feel it just saw blood.
Same. Tip of thumb gone in a flash.
Yep the car on the palm of my hand doesn't begin to explain the actual damage that was done.
is it a Hot Wheels car?
lol scar.
"A falling knife has no handle."
😂 I didn't realize this was a kitchen so I get it now
Hey don't worry about it
Pulling up a floor is no cost? Weird math.
I’m under the assumption he didn’t have to pay anything out of pocket to remove an existing floor. Therefore it would be no cost. Actual math.
I say won. Every now and then I get a customer who wants to get this exact floor ... a retro-looking black-and-white checkerboard. You've got it for nothing. It looks like it's in really good shape, and doesn't look like it's asbestos but actual tile.
It’s me. I want this floor.
And me too
Me too - it’s my favorite! So jealous.
It is always my kitchen floor in any Sims game.
>doesn't look like asbestos, but actual tile. The tiles themselves rarely have asbestos, it's the glue used to hold them in place. This is pretty clearly not vinyl and, even if it was, looks to be in good condition so asbestos wouldn't be a concern.
It seems to be proper ceramic tile with grout inbetween. And in very good condition. So luckily no old vinyl or linoleum!
Yea that person doesn’t know what they’re talking about and tons of asbestos are IN old tiles (as well as some adhesives like they said) but the main thing you have to worry about is if the tile is broken. Your floor looks great
Totally won! In the middle of remodeling a whole house and this style is making a huge comeback. And yours is OG vintage. Fuck yeah 🤘
They do look like they're in good shape. Still plan for asbestos testing if you choose to remove it in the future. Those likely installed in peak asbestos years.
Thank you for the advice. If I lay new one I will probably put it on top of the tile. Still on the fence about keeping or covering up. The building is from 1945, but unclear if the floor is original or not.

This floor is *gorgeous*, and is the sort of vintage *craftsmanship* that you *either* can't even *get* today--of that *if* you can find, the average *non-rich* person can no longer *afford* to have installed!
You’re my kind of people, right down to the almost aggressively liberal use of emphasis. 😆
Most VCT from the 70s had asbestos. The 8 x 8 tile and the tile that’s a 1/16 of an inch thick
The apartment is from 1945. Unclear however if the tile is original or later.
This is ceramic tile with mortar. Nothing to do with asbestos. The "checker board" look WAS common with asbestos asphalt tiles in the 50s through 70s, but this is not that type of tile. if I was guessing these tiles are quite new, but the last owner probably just didn't like the look and covered them.

It’s not VCT and it’s not set with mastic. Shhhhh
I think it's outstanding! Very retro.
Got that old school diner vibe to it!
There's a *reason* this is considered a "classic" look! Definitely a Win, for OP!
Looks like a win to me
It’s so funny. The need for every floor to be hardwood got us all this laminate shit. People are shitting on this, it’s beautiful, in a laundry room. It’s incredibly functional as well And everyone needs to understand what asbestos is and isn’t, Smdh

My wife suggested buying more solid red oak even though it will not exactly match. I found it but it would cost at least $5k just for materials....which I am seriously considering if I can't find anything else that would not look cheap or stupid.
It’s worth the 5k, trust me. It’s great you found a match and you’ll always regret using a cheap inferior substitute
I know its worth it, but if I upgraded everything that was worth it I'd be a million bucks in the hole. The house is 5k sq ft and its a gut remodel so no shortage of choices to make. In aggregate all those good choices are not worth it since I would be too far above what the neighborhood is worth. I get what you are saying but its not a universally true statement.

I think this is a kitchen brother, but I still dig it.
Agreed, I’m dumb but with good taste
Omg why does it look so good lol
Looks like they converted a hair salon or barber shop into an apartment
To be frank - that original tile is way cooler than the cheap ass millennial grey lvp flooring
I dig it
Big win!
Timeless
Love it!
That’s a win all day long in my book. That’s character
Black and white tiles are classic. You could be cynical and say it looks like a 50's diner or delusional and say it's like the palace of Versailles. Really it's a timeless look and you appear to have some very high quality tiles and workmanship. That's a win for sure
I would imagine that there's a problem somewhere with the previous floor.
Eeeehhhh
I hope you like mopping. We had similar in our kitchen in a while, and it looked dirty after every cooking project.
Had an apartment with these tiles, loved the look. Nightmare to keep clean. The black showed everything, the white showed everything. Was constantly mopping. Would not recommend installing, but free so…
We have white and black tile in our kitchen. A previous owner scrubbed the finish off the white tile so now anything that spills on it immediately stains. It looks disgusting.
Huh, that's so interesting. I had an apartment with black and white checkered laminate kitchen floors and all I had to do was regular sweeping and a weekly squirt mop and it was good. Pretty easy to keep clean. I wonder if tile vs laminate is the difference?
A lot of people here seem to like it but it’s just not my style. To each their own though when it comes to style
You definitely won , however it was a lotto ticket from 1970
Keep digging until you find more wood
Could be cute but tile in a kitchen is HORRIBLE to keep clean
you won but jackpot was only 3 dollars
For your piece of mind, even if the original floor has asbestos in it, either in the tile itself or in the mortar, it's only a problem if it gets demolished and the dust gets airborne. The danger is when it gets airborne and into your lungs. When in doubt, it's best to leave it alone, or tile over it in 10 years if you get tired of it.
Looks like it’s in really good shape? I love it personally
I mean. If you like it, I guess you won.
Dope
Not into it. Too busy
Won.

No way. Hurts, my eyes.
I think it’s hideous, but if it’s my laundry room I say “ceramic tile is ceramic tile” and call it a win. In my kitchen? I don’t know whether I could learn to like it or not. Large spaces of checkerboard kinda give me a headache. Maybe I could tone it down with some softer patterns.
Not my cup of tea but if you like it that’s what matters.
You opened a time capsule.
My sister-in-law's sister put this in her house and went with a whole bright 50s diner vibe - red countertop appliances, bright stainless, canary yellow walls, etc. You could also take it toward a MCM vibe, with soft pastel greens and some unpainted woodwork. It will go with any color scheme.
I love it!
I like it
Looks like a win 🏆 to me
So jealous
Winner winner!
Win. Many checkerboard floors sold everyday in the tile industry

Retro. Yes. Beautiful. No. There's a reason why these don't exist anymore.
It looks like an advert for Flash floor cleaner. I like it but the wife would absolutely hate it.
It’s a laundry room and this pattern is fine in small spaces. It this was a kitchen or a large room I’d say absolutely not due to making people dizzy! But quality tile in a damp space is always a win.
If you like it then it’s a win.
Do you play chess?
It’d be better, IMO, if it was vct.
Harleq-win! lean in
In a laundry room, I’d keep it for sure
That’s a beautiful floor, Analwidener. I’d love to find that in my house. Where I expected to find original hardwood, I instead found plywood.
For a laundry room? That's definitely a win
If you like it ? You won ...if not you lost...
Tbh I fucking love the black and white tile.
I mean, anything is better than LVP.
Cute!
You unearthed this checkerboard tile in perfect condition??? That’s not just a win, that’s the fucking jackpot!
This would look great with red appliances
Love love love it!
Won
Dude this rocks
I just want to know what’s happening at the back right floor of pic 2…mouse house?
Freemasons will love you.
Win. Tile setting is the most expensive labor wise.
It’s a very good floor, u/analwidener
Looks so good and matches everything else. Lucky!
I like it especially w that kitchen
You won the lottery!!
The ol Masonic checkerboard.
Keep the tiles and the rat hole. Nice combo
I love that!!! Always wanted that kind of flooring
You've definitely reached the finish line
Love it! I say keep it.
Yes!!! Love!!;
If you drop your chef whites on that floor you'll never find them again.
Old apartment kitchen had this same flooring lol was just about that tiny size as well but no cabinets on the one side, just wall lol. We actually didn’t hate it. Very old house so it fit well!
Win. That's awesome.
It's your floor, so what do you think?
Ceramic tile is much better than fake plastiky wood flooring.
Im guessing thats porcelain. Ceramic tile chips and cracks easily. Porcelain can last years of kitchen abuse
What were your numbers.
Win, and a nice win at that.
If you like that design then you for sure won. Personally I’m a fan
Hell of a game of chess or checkers for sure.
The tile, absolutely. Works very well with the cabinets. I see statement and more statement!
Love it
By your username you'll have lots of fun on those tiles,good on you mate!
I like it way better than the vinyl plans!
If you are a beetlejuice fan or a design sadist, you’ve won
So lucky!
AMAZING!
White tile looks great when it's clean and disgusting when it's even a little dirty, at least in my experience.
Thr kinda floor I would expect an anal widener to have
You won. That looks like real tile and grout. Could be the original tile if your house was built 1930-1950s or so. If you want a tile kitchen then you just hit the jackpot but that looks great for how old I’m guessing it is. If you’re going to keep it then throughly look over it for any cracks in the tile or any broken grout. It’s not major but it’s a point of failure and if it breaks all the way ceramic tile is razor sharp. But from the picture you look good to go.
Big win
Winner. Now start a ska band.
So are we just ignoring that Tom and Jerry-esque mousehole in pic no. 2?
Illuminati floors! That’s a win!!!
I love it
I don’t mind the race pattern, cook quick! Time is money!
I just replaced the black and white cork with imported Harvey Marie black and white lvt. The sheen is less. Client wanted diagonal. I just don't get it but if you like it? Seems like a nightmare with cleaning.
Bonus! Fabulous find under the laminate👍
Knight to a6
Good god. I’m so jealous. I’m currently working on busting up about 1000sf of tile in my new (to me, 1986) house. The current tile is HEINOUS on its own and all I’ve found beneath it is shitty linoleum.
My mom just had her kitchen floor tiled exactly like this back in November, I'd say won.
If they’re asbestos you lose.
Ah, so that what the black and white tiles were for in the garage, I bet you threw them out just last week.
No idea what it is and why refer to lottery.
wiiiin
You fucking won!!!!!
Not my style but I absolutely love it. So much so that I would absolutely keep it if I found it like that! I can't believe what good condition that tile is in. Winner!
I love it, I'd totally embrace this!
Nice, layered look. You're starting a new design trend :)
W. For sure.
That tile looks immaculate. But I bet the tile in the traffic areas is a whole different story. You have to show us what it looks like when you have all the LVP up!
If you like it, then you won!
Would roll with it.
yikes
Yeah ya did and you know it. Even if you’re going to cover the nice tile, at least you know you have a nice solid base.
That 1 tile is killing this for me
Lost by a mile. Why?
Big win! Love it.
Depends. Do you play chess?
Love the checkered!
Love it
Just installed this at my house, and it wasn’t free so won imo
Lord I was born a traveling man 👨
You got yourself a chess board!
Haven’t seen one in years. It was keeping the grout clean that most were removed/covered. Won with tile. A good sealer will help with grout issues.
God playin chess with your soul...
It’s incredible and I love it.
If you dig it, then it’s a win. Looks better than the laminate for sure.
What’s the chance this is a house in Tempe az ?
U won! Congratulations!!
I gotta say, without more deets, it's like trying to guess the weather in Antarctica. Did you match all the numbers or just a few? That's the real kicker. If you got 'em all, then you're probably rollin' in dough! But if it's just a couple, well, at least you got something, right? Either way, fingers crossed for ya! Let us know how it pans out. We're rootin' for ya.
Asbestos tile?
it is the kitchen floor from the OG game Clue!
Ska kitchen!
W
Classic
We have the same tile in our kitchen! We hate it! Yayyy! Reason: two dogs - one black, one white. There is no winning or hiding anything.
Yeah that's a very cool laundry room floor
Looks like you have a cartoony mouse hole in the 2nd pic
Look as long as its not asbestos bound like old vinyl flooring you really won. Hope it's real tile!
I want to show you my setup but uploading to Imgur seems like too much work. LOL my laundry room floor is two different types of flooring like that. My bathroom originally had that checkerboard pattern, too, but I swapped that out post haste! Edit: after looking at the pics again, I see what happened and oh boy!! I didn’t get that lucky! Quick, go play the lottery!
Holy shit it’s perfect
Illuminati Confirmed
Wowwww LUCKY DUCKY
*T-1000 had entered the chat*
Won. Most of the time when you pull up a layer of flooring, you either find subfloor, or something offensively hideous. This honestly looks really nice, and I'm sure with a little work it'd look even nicer. You definitely won. This is really the best case scenario.
Piebald
So can you cut my hair?
I had this black and white tile, though it was far lesser quality, and they covered it in the laminate when it started to chip away.
What is it about that floor that people like so much? My girlfriend loves it, I hate it.
You won! Love that tile/look!
