Lino flooring

3 replies

We are in our house 18 months now and saving to redo our kitchen fully, including flooring, but in meantime we need to do something with the floor. Previous owners laid a wood effect laminate, and it is not suitable at all - badly cracked and damaged from getting wet where back door opens over it and it is impossible to keep clean.

Thinking of getting lino laid over it as a temporary fix. We might be a few years away from doing a proper renovation, but can live with the rest of it for now!

If any of you have done similar, would love any tips/advice

Thanks!

As a temporary fix it will be fine, it might not look perfect but it doesn't sound like need that. I wish I'd gone for Lino over tiles, much easier to replace when you fancy a change.

It honestly cannot look any worse than it does now. It is a mess. I just want something I can scrub down (messy dog paws in winter don't help!)

Lino is great, we had laminate put in our kitchen a d I regret it so badly. The vinyl we've had put in the other parts of the house looks brilliant and is so easy to clean. Don't know what it will look like laid over laminate though. I asked about it at the carpet shop a whole back and the guy wasn't keen!
