>After the flood SWMBO and I are thinking of replacing the engineered wood floor that was once in our kitchen with a real linoleum product called Marmoleum. It comes in tiles, sheet and a laminate product that cliks together much like pergo. We are leaning towards a sheet type installation. We have the insurance money to hire a flooring guy to put it in but being the cheapskate I am I was wondering if this is a product that an above average handy joe could tackle and what might be some words of wisdom?

There was thread about this in early fall might want to check the archives. I used it as a counter material for a large built in desk unit worked great for that. I used the sheet stuff and glued it down with there adhesive and routed everything flush. A lot easier than doing a floor.

>I recently redid our kitchen and casual dining area floor with Marmoleum 1x3 tiles. Installation was a snap, literally; the T&G tiles snap together for a seamless appearance. It's an easy to care for product and has a nice feel underfoot. I wouldn't hesitate to use it again.

>Hi Ted,

I put in about 800sf of it in our home last June (the 1X3 tiles as well). It does go in quite easily. My understanding from the floor guys is that you don't want to install the sheet material with out having really been trained to do it. Apparently there are some subtle differences from vinyl that make it more challenging. Marmoleum does have a certified installer program and you want someone who actaully knows how to do it, not just someone who installs vinyl floors.

The T&G products are REALLY easy to install (Assuming you have a flat subfloor).
