Whats is the best way to fit Lino

[fnkysknky]

Use a lino blade in the stanley knife instead of a normal blade - try to make sure you don't lop a finger off though - if you've seen a lino blade you'll know what I mean

 

Dan - if you try measuring it you'll never get it right - as someone else stated just cut it oversized then trim once in place

You could buy a template thingy from most diy stores. They're like a bunch of lollipop sticks held together which you offer up to the edge which you're trying to fit.

 

Alternatively, pm me and I'll try and find mine.

ANY more advice out ther please how to fit and cut lino and What NOT TO DO!

 

Not just in bathrooms but in kitchens etc.

 

Thanks

If you're mad enough to choose a stanley knife for the job, be careful with your kitchen kickboards - or better still - remove them and run the lino underneath

Fitted my first lino in the toilet, I know its a hard place to start.

Did template round loo.

Quite please with the result.

 

So went on and did the kitchen. :thumbsup:

I pressume we're talking about vinyl flooring here. Linoleum has to be glued to the floor and is hard to lay unless you know what you're doing. When it is put down it has to be rolled with a heavy (100lb) roller and the seams have be glued with a special seam adhesive.

 

Also, linoleum should not be used in a bathroom as it is porous.
