From the point of view of the ratio of price and quality, it can be noted that linoleum will be a successful purchase. The cost of this material is not a large amount of money costs, and wear resistance can withstand a sufficiently long service life. In addition, it is very convenient to install. Therefore, if you save money on laminate flooring and have purchased linoleum, you can save again and do not force experts to put it on the floor itself, that is, with your own hands.
Step-by-step instruction
How is it better to put linoleum? First you need to prepare the room. That is, the floor should be absolutely flat. It should be noted that the flooring can be done on top of the concrete cover, but for an apartment this option is not entirely suitable. Just imagine how it will be cold to your feet. Therefore, exactly and tightly to each other, the floor is laid plywood board. So, the premise is prepared, and rolls of linoleum, which you are going to put with your own hands, lie quietly in the middle of the room.
Where do we start?
- Roll out the roll and equalize it to the size of the room along the walls. Do it better in such a way that a small overlap is formed. It is always easier to cut off excess pieces than to cover up the missing pieces.
- As in many cases, the room in which we will lay the linoleum, has an angle. Therefore, you need to properly mark up and cut off a piece of material. To this end, we bend the linoleum, draw it close to the corner and make a note.
- Using a ruler, we make notches for the threshold. The more you make notes, the easier it will be for you to cut off the extra pieces. Often on the back of the linoleum there is a markup to simplify this process.
- After we cut out the corner, we try to put the linoleum as tightly as possible to the wall and floor, as much as possible exclude irregularities. Crop all unnecessary. The same procedure we do along the other walls.
- After finishing all the manipulations, we get a finished room. The next stage will be fixing the plinth.
