The hard-wearing floor covering for gluing down
Linoleum consists mainly of natural materials, such as linseed oil, cork flour and jute fabric. Linoleum flooring draws all its physical strength from these resources. In order to be able to use all its facets, however, the linoleum sheets must be glued to the subfloor to be covered over their entire surface. Only through the permanent bond between the subfloor and the linoleum covering can the full potential of linoleum be exploited. Although gluing is often considered one of the most difficult installation practices, it can be mastered by even amateur craftsmen with a little skill, time and know-how. The installation always follows the same three steps.
Forbo Marmoleum Ohmex - linoleum flooring installation made easy
You can always rely on Forbo-Linoleum as your renovation partner, and above all, you can rely on it for the long term! Once laid, linoleum can withstand heavy loads for years, making even the more costly renovation practice of gluing it down worthwhile. Although the installation of glue-down flooring can involve a certain amount of extra work, it can be done by anyone with little know-how. In order to lay linoleum flooring for gluing, three basic work steps are required: preparation, laying and drying. The first preparatory step is to remove old flooring, dirt, grease and unevenness from the surface of the area to be renovated. Any unevenness, such as cracks, holes and the like, should be levelled out with the help of a commercial levelling compound, such as is available in DIY stores, in order to ensure the flatness of the floor covering. Then the linoleum sheets must be adapted to the existing room dimensions. In particular, cut-outs must be made for bay windows, heating pipes and the like so that nothing stands in the way of the final installation. Then the linoleum covering must be firmly bonded to the subfloor. For this step, the subfloor must first be provided with an even adhesive bed. The linoleum can then be laid in this bed. The individual strips must be laid end to end in the adhesive bed so that there are no gaps and no overlaps. As soon as the room is completely covered with the linoleum from the Forbo Marmoleum Ohmex collection, the adhesive bed only needs to harden so that the linoleum floor is firmly bonded to the subfloor.
