Your question brings back lots of memories of solid vinyl tile and some sheet vinyl and vinyl asbestos tile that had sparkly bits suspended in the matrix...real cool looking products.

I'm looking for a mica infused look. Something a bit matte and natural looking. We have ones we used on our bathroom floor in the UK... don't seem to be available from the seller there now though (not that I'd pay shipping!) Can you see the glimmer? :)

Maybe check the Eleganza line.

I remember seeing vinyl flooring like that in the commercial line of one of the big American flooring brands, but that was several years ago and the chips were more color than metallic.

However, in my maybe-someday-dream pile of Internet bookmarks, I dug up this vinyl floor:

And these tile floors:

steve_o I saw the vinyl ones you mention in my search today. Quite nice. Also, this one from the last collection has a close finish: http://www.ecomoso.com/bati-orient-quartzite-silver-grey-2-x-2-matte-qugr01/

I found two styles by Dal-tile which I've requested samples for, that give the impression they might be what I'm looking for. However, I looked online for Dal-tile reviews, and they were BAD! So, I'm not sure what to make of it. I should have the samples by Friday or Monday so we'll see.
