If you're planning to remodel or renovate your house, will you consider using Vinyl Composition Tile (or simply Vinyl Tiles) for your flooring and kitchen countertops? If you're budget is quite limited, then most likely, you will absolutely include Vinyl as one of your top choice material alongside with other inexpensive finishing like Ceramic Tiles and Laminated Flooring. Vinyl is not a Linoleum nor a Ceramic finishing but it usually resemble the same appearance.
Vinyl is inexpensive indeed yet you have to buy a special adhesive to attach them. Tiles are typically waxed and buffed using special materials and equipment too. Well, unlike Ceramic Tiles, Vinyl are quite sensitive to heat and the colors easily fade away in a short period of time. And worst, the tiles will start breaking or popping up because of improper application of adhesive or by too much exposure to heat just like what happened to these tiles I saw last weekend. Check how Vinyl tiles lose their alignment and starting to popped up.(It may not be so clear in this picture but if you're going to look closer, you'll see thateach tiles are not aligned properly anymore which is a sign of improper installation or application of adhesive)

Well, in fairness to Vinyl tiles, you can easily replace them by taking out the damaged part and replace it with a new one. But of course, replacement can be very costly especially if you keep on doing it over and over again. If ever I will remodel my own house or kitchen, I would definitely not consider such material. I am not necessarily saying that it's not an ideal one but it's just that, I am considering the quality and durability than anything else. I may have a limited budget but I will definitely save my money just to make use of those high quality materials like Marble or granite most especially for my countertop. Having high quality Countertops like those countertops vancouver being offered by Floform. They are well known in this kind of industry and has been serving their costumers for five decades!
