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
onto the plywood. Make sure that when you move the appliance it is
resting evenly on the plywood. You don't want to 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.
