Commercial vinyl tile in kitchen?

[Anonymous]

I want a whacky color very bright kitchen floor -- like this: http://www.harveymaria.com/Floor-Range/Sangria-Red or something in bright turquoise. (The rest of the main floor is hardwood.)

That website I linked ships from UK and I've prefer to find something in this area that I can actually go look at, or at least not have so much trouble returning if I get it and the color is not right. Anyone have any idea where I could get something like that here?

Everything vinyl or linoleum at the usual suspects (Home Depot and the floor stores I've gone to) is the normal stuff like this-is-supposed-to-look-like-tile or this-is-supposed-to-look-like-wood. I want random bright color. Can I just use commercial vinyl tile -- like this: http://www.lowes.com/pd/Armstrong-12-in-x-12-in-Cherry-Red-Speckle-Pattern-Commercial-Vinyl-Tile/999997270

I think that's supposed to be for schools and gyms and stuff, but any reason why it wouldn't work in my house?

That must be a record for fastest predictable DCUM insult in response to a thread. Congrats! My taste is different than average, which is fine with me.

Fun OP! It would seem to me that if the tile could withstand commercial traffic, it would be fine in your house.

I love all of those colors!!! I can't wait till my kitchen finally disintegrates so I can redo the flooring!. Commercial sounds sturdy.

There was a blog post (sorry - it is lost to the ages) about rubber flooring. It comes in beautiful colors, is anti-static, several other great attributes. It's insanely expensive, but maybe that? It also ships from overseas.
