Is Linoleum Right for Me?

Linoleum flooring is versatile enough to satisfy the tastes of a wide range of floor buyers. Crafted from organic materials, linoleum is eco–friendly and a great choice if you're going "green". Linoleum is also hypoallergenic, a plus for allergy or asthma sufferers. Many floor buyers who renovate older homes choose linoleum to compliment or replicate the home's original flooring. Linoleum's evolution into more modern colors, patterns and styles makes it an attractive, economical choice for newer dwellings as well. The floor's resiliency, shock–absorbency and durability (when properly coated) can be ideal for children's playrooms, high–traffic areas and wheelchairs.

As with any flooring project, however, it's important to evaluate the area where the floor will be installed. Linoleum isn't considered a viable choice for basements or concrete sub–floors because of the risk of excess moisture. This is also why some manufacturers advise against installing it in kitchens and bathrooms; FindAnyFloor.com suggests you check the manufacturer's requirements ahead of time so you don't risk voiding your warranty. Another factor to keep in mind is linoleum flooring generally will not add to the resale value of your home.
