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,

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 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
