          This is called VCT, Vinyl Composition tile. It's normally installed with adhesive and maintained with various cleaners and polishes. It's very common in commercial installations.

            It can be repeatedly stripped and refinished since it's a solid, full-thickness material.

          • In some cases the tiles are actually possible to remove one by one. "Computer flooring" as we used to call it - you can run wires below the floor, and the tiles facilitate access if necessary. But you can also lay them as a regular floor.

          • @StianYttervik, Yep, you're talking about a Raised Floor or Access Floor. VCT is common, but I've also seen carpet tiles installed on them and some other options. VCT is just so resilient and easy to use.

          Vinyl tile. They have sticky stuff on back, they put it down and if someone damages it, they peel off and stick another one. Same with carpet tiles. Fun stuff!
