It is really easy to put down. I did mine myself (my studio is 17'X28" as I have a long arm and my office). I even used one of quilting rules to cut the tiles with a utility knife. It look a couple of days as I had to move things to one end and back again. I also had to wait to have my husband help me move the big stuff (14' long arm and cabinets left over from his business). Anyway this product comes in 6" X 36" strips and overlaps kind of like laminate. It has a 25 year warranty and comes in 3 colors. My handyman said "Oh, you went with wood in here."

Gotta worry about the bright red carpet though....what to do?

Love our house (still somewhat stuck in the 60's), love our neighbors and, the one room that is fully finished and ready (you guessed it), Sally's Sewing Room (my hideout). No pics yet because, right now, drapery fabric all over and I'm dying to start piecing...Quilts! But, yep, the red carpet is gone, woodlike linoleum is down and the dark paneling is now sparkling white. DH put me an electric fireplace for warmth and whatever....

Well, My neighbor had a red carpet she hated when they bought their home - now, 20 years later she has replaced it - you guessed it - with another red carpet - it just grew on her! LOL
Congrats on the new sewing room (& house).
