Re: [BlindHandyMan]Laying A New Linolium Floor
Well for whqat it is worth I lean toward tile for a floor. The peel and stick stuff works good for me. For laying over another floor I have don it. If the bottom layer has a embossed pattern it will likely bleed or show through in time so the floor leveling shoulds like a good idea. Someone mentioned removing the stool and vanity also a very good idea. Removing the quarter round or baseboard is also good for a better finished line.

Re: [BlindHandyMan]Laying A New Linolium Floor
i surely aggree with dale that full stripping is the best and that is what i have done. 4 bathrooms and a large kitchen with good results. i did need help spreading the glue but the rest was blind friendly. i cut the peice and laid it on the dry floor then folded in half, had my wife spread the glue, pressed down the half then do the other side. the large kitchen one i folded in thirds. i will though, after reading the article yesterday, try the new over the old in a small bathroom i was planing on re-doing this winter. i also forgot to mention the article recommended to use a stripper on the old to remove all waxes and coatings.

The old one lasted 30 years. By the time this one wears out it will be somebody else's problem Regards. Max. K 4 O D S.

[BlindHandyMan]Laying A New Linolium Floor
Hi Everyone, I am buying a new house and want to replace the linolium flooring in one of the bathrooms. Is it best to take up the old linolium or can I just put to new linolium on top. The old linolium is in good condition but we want to change the room color. Sincerely, Ward [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Re: [BlindHandyMan]Laying A New Linolium Floor
You should take the old up. If you are lucky you can get it up without tearing it and might then be able to use it as a template to cut the new piece. Clean up the subfloor carefully so there are no crumbs or anything else under the new floor.

Re: [BlindHandyMan]Laying A New Linolium Floor
hi again. i was not sure about my answer so i checked. if the old flooring is in perfect shape and stuck down firmly every where you can put the new on top. it is best to use a flor leving compound on the old if it has an embossed pattern or it will bleed thru.some new sheet flooring is called tape down and does not need the lever. if the old is peeling, even a little strip it like i said and use the mat or if you want a real nice job then put a layer of 1/4 inch underlayment plywood right over the old.

Re: [BlindHandyMan]Laying A New Linolium Floor
Hi Peter, On more than one occasion now I have had to follow someone who has laid floor over old. Eventually all flooring needs attention and eventually it is necessary to rip back to the base. Not only is this nasty but the need accelerates as more surfaces are laid over the old. Certainly it is possible to lay over old and it is done often but it is not best practice and that is the advice requested.
