Thanks Josh. This is exactly what i needed.
Thanks! This was exactly what I was looking for. The stripper bottle didn’t have any useful directions.
Your “old” floor looks much better than the modern “vinyl” crap that the professionals sold me. Where can I get some good old fashioned linoleum?
A question….can you butt the tiles up against the existing woodwork? Or do i need to remove the woodwork first? Someone told me to remove it to account for expansion, but i figured with the tiles glued down, expansion wouldn’t be an issue. I noticed in your video there is no woodwork quarterround etc
go irish !
Yeaaaah . . . so the video title is “installing vinyl tile over linoleum.” When he opens he says he’s installing “linoleum over your old laminate flooring.”
Just by looking at the patterns on the old and new flooring shown, I can tell that in truth is he is laying vinyl tile over vinyl sheeting. Both have textures imprinted into the material, and because he didn’t use a leveling compound to smooth out the old texture, the tiles will be more prone to peel due to the gaps beneath that dust and liquid will creep into. On top of that, the tile will eventually take on the texture of the vinyl sheeting beneath. Nice try Josh, but be warned, don’t hire this guy, or mimic his bang-up job.
linoleum = cork+linseed oil (no fancy patterns)
vinyl = petroleum (fancy printed patterns)
laminate = wood (faux wood patterns)
Quality control eHow?
I am trying to lay ‘peel and stick’ tiles on top of Formica cabinet doors but it will not stay stuck. I have tried using ‘Gorrilla’ glue but it is not adhearing. Any suggestions please.
this is b.s. nothing on how to cover damaged existing tile, door ways, up against floor base. etc. It would be common sense to assume the existing linoleum floor has some damaged other wise why go through the hassle. Rating= diarrhea..
hell yeah brother you just saved me $500 bucks!!
