I'm trying to determine this type of common floor tile covering. Can anyone help me identify?

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.

3It can be repeatedly stripped and refinished since it's a solid, full-thickness material. – isherwood Mar 21 at 17:59

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. – Stian Yttervik Mar 22 at 13:15

@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. – JPhi1618 Mar 22 at 14:40

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!
