Linoleum Floor Tile Issue

[Alexander Dietrich]

Hey all,

My site has encountered an issue with its linoleum floor tiling and no one is sure about the cause. Here's a linked folder with images detailing the issue.

In short there appears to be dirty, abrasive spots forming at the seams of where adjoining tiles meet. This issue is seen through the site and predominantly on the ground (1st) floor.

Any ideas what this issue is a result of?

Hmm some of the photos almost look like small spots of water damage. What @Michael Tully said about the adhesive would make sense as well. How long has this flooring been in place?
