Granted, one giant roofing sheet and a bunch of industrial squares/tiles meant for restaurant kitchens, and they were never meant to be all nice -nice, but it def was like spending a day in Town Fair Tire.

We soaked the squares in water and vinegar to break down the slippery solvent that seemed to coat them, and ran them through the industrial dish washer, but the smell remained.

A month or so later, the odor has waned. Or maybe the off gasses have killed the brain cells that sense such things… But it’s better.

That said, be prepared for your eco home to be… not so much.

And my 2 cents? The fleck style does not look like marble, it looks like those flecky multicolored crayons some of had as kids. I say stick with something basic, and be proud of what it is: Sensible flooring.
