Quick Answer. Printing on the reverse side of linoleum tiles often provides a homeowner with information regarding whether the linoleum contains asbestos. Scraps of unused linoleum may contain this same information. About.com warns that flooring with manufacture dates from 1952 to 1986 likely contains asbestos. When trying to remove existing flooring, inspect the reverse of the tiles, as floor removal may release asbestos.
Asbestos was used in sheet vinyl and vinyl tile until the mid-1980s. By leaving the vinyl undisturbed, you won't risk sending asbestos fibers into the air. If you have a wood subfloor, there's a good chance that you'll have to install backer board over your vinyl to make the floor thicker and stiff enough for tile. The easiest way to see flooring thickness is to pull off a floor register. Otherwise look for plumbing passageways through the floor.
