Linoleum Floors
Natural linoleum is one of greenest floors on the market. It's bio-based, highly durable, non-toxic, anti-microbial and easy to maintain. Choose from more than 100 designer colors and patterns.
Why you need to prepare the Subfloor For Laying Linoleum:
Why do I need to prepare my subfloor?
If you install carpeting without a pad, this will not be as easy to walk on and it will wear much quicker. If you install tile on a cracked concrete subfloor it will enventually crack the tile and grout. If you install a wood, cork, or bamboo floating floor on an unlevel subfloor, the edges will not fit well together. Consequently you will stub your toes and eventually destroy that part of the floor.
When you install any type of floor on a damp concrete slab it may absorb into the flooring causing buckling. It may also create mold and mildew resulting in serious health issues. If you install any type of floor on a structurally weak subfloor it may squeak and result in uneveness in the surface. br />
Whatever product you install on the floor, the subfloor must be 1) level, 2) dry, and 3) solid. That holds true for today AND in the future. These factors are critical if you want your investment to last. Don't underestimate its importance and don't skimp. Installing a beautiful floor without proper preparation is like building a home without a foundation or like painting without primer. Sure it can be done, but the results will not be satisfactory in the long run.
