LINOLEUM Recommendations?
Marmoleum, Armstrong, anything better that the rest, any to stay away from?
When I say linoleum, that's what I mean.  Not sheet vinyl.  Thanks

Re: LINOLEUM Recommendations?
Forbo is pretty much the industry leader in lino nowadays. Are you doing the install or are you subbing it? Whats it going in?

I have talked a customer down from ceramic in a second floor bath, 1907 vintage house. Linoleum was the next "most durable" on the list. I'm just trying to limit options, to aid selection process. Installers will be a problem for another day. All that said I have been thinking about it for my kitchen sometime next year as well.

Re: LINOLEUM Recommendations?
Why would you talk a customer down from tile to linoleum?
Especially a ceramic, I can get ceramics for as low as $.49/sq ft So it can't be a price issue.

Re: LINOLEUM Recommendations?
Maybe there are structural issues....doesn't meet deflection requirements? Most old houses I have worked in were overbuilt though.

It's a 100 year old house, and they don't want to do what needs to be done to up-grade the floor to support ceramic. I don't even want to think what would happen when the old ball and claw tub went back in on top of ceramic.
