Nothing can make over your home faster than new flooring. It can
breath new life into an old looking living room or kitchen.
There are many different types of flooring available on the
market today, vinyl, laminate, wood, and linoleum to name a few.
Linoleum is considered by those in the flooring trade to be a
resilient type of flooring. A linoleum floor is durable and,
with proper care can last up to 40 years, which is longer than
vinyl flooring. Regular cleaning of all of your floors will help
prolong their life and preserve them. Linoleum flooring can be
easily cleaned by damp mopping with clear water and a mild
cleaner. Newer linoleums have surface protection applied by the
manufacturer which help make them water and stain resistant.

Linoleum floors are almost limitless in design and color choices
and linoleum is better suited for areas that will be getting
moderately wet than is laminate flooring. Linoleum flooring is
perfect for use in a kitchen. Linoleum can be ideal in a foyer
area or laundry room as mud and water are easily cleaned up.
While many use ceramic and natural stone floors in entry ways
and kitchens, they are harder to upkeep than linoleum.
Linoleum can tear. It is therefore imperative that you use all
caution when moving any kitchen appliance on a linoleum floor.
Lay a piece of plywood down on the floor and carefully slide the

appliance it is resting evenly on the plywood. You don't want

make any impressions onto the floor beneath.
Linoleum is thin and must be laid carefully. The sub flooring
beneath the linoleum must be free of any bumps or irregularities
or nail heads. These irregularities will come through a linoleum
floor.
If you are thinking of replacement flooring check with family
and friends to see if they have had any experience with a
particular type of flooring or installer. Do your homework.
Expect anyone who sells flooring to be knowledgeable, if they
aren't, go elsewhere. The best way to get the perfect flooring
for any room in your home is for you to do your homework first.
