How to Prepare the Floor Before Installing Linoleum Underlayment

Preperation of the Floor for Linoleum Underlayment

There are two types of linoleum that use adhesive are rolled and tile. For a whole new look and décor can be created by laying linoleum flooring. This is a project that just about anyone can do with a little patience and skill. In order to install linoleum, though, the subfloor must be level. Make sure that any  bumps can be sanded down and dips can be filled with a self-leveling floor leveler. The floor must  be dry and this can be seen on a wood subfloor but a cement slab must be tested. Using testing which  can be accomplished by taping a 15 by 15 sheet of plastic to the slab and letting it sit for up to 72 hours. If there is any  moisture under the plastic,  then flooring should'nt be installed until the slab is dry.
