The construction of floors with a coating of linoleum onground. The first step in preparing for work is to vacate the premises. To take out the big furniture and every possible subjects which are in a room. The space should be cleared to the maximum. If the work is done in a two-room apartment, the linoleum is piled in turn. And the furniture is transferred to the place where nothing is being repaired at the moment. The room you released, then you need to think about preparing the floor surface. And no matter what you have covered the floor before, you need to make sure that before the final laying, the surface on which the material is laid, was cleaned and leveled. It is necessary to remove the skirting boards on all walls of the room, since the laying covering will be directly attached to them. If you plan to use the skirting board again, then remove it carefully so as not to break it. At the same time, you can even number the bars on the back side, putting a similar number on the wall to facilitate further work. If the repair work has been done for a long time, and it is not possible to remove the plinths, it is better to buy new plinths. Aesthetics in this case will only benefit. Now it's worth paying attention to the floor itself. If you decide to overhaul, then the ideal option will be the use of a bulk floor. This option is optimal if the base is made of concrete or cement screed. But in most cases, linoleum is spread on a board or a drying parquet. And if you do not plan to clean the old flooring completely, choose one of the options for eliminating unevenness:
Layout of anti-static linoleum. A big problem with the old sex is creaking. Therefore, in the manufacture of repairs should pay attention to this. The sole purpose pursued by all the preparatory work is to achieve a perfectly flat and clean floor surface. Protuberances, depressions, all kinds of irregularities and rubbish on the basis of the floor with the coating will certainly make itself felt, showing up in the places of the most intensive wear and tear. About the ways to level the surface you now know, and cleanliness can be induced by vacuuming and wet cleaning. Important for laying linoleum is compliance with the temperature regime, which varies from +15 to +25 ºC. At a lower temperature, the material may lose its elasticity and become brittle. Pay attention if you are doing repairs in the winter. Even if the room is warm, let the material from the street warm up. The lower the street temperature, the longer the warm-up time, up to 12 hours. Before work, spread the roll, let it rest. So you avoid undesirable "waves". Back to contents</a>
On what to stop the choice?
A small retreat to the immediate installationlinoleum will be advice on choosing the material: linoleum and substrate. When choosing the first one, it is necessary to make a selection commensurate with the loads that "fall" on his share. Also taken into account shoes, which will walk on linoleum material, and even humidity. Based on this, choose the thickness of the coating. The thicker it is, the stronger, of course. For example, a coating with a thickness of less than 3 mm has almost a minus resistance and will quickly deteriorate critically during intensive operation. Often when using linoleum under it lay the substrate. In most cases, these are cork substrates. When using them, the effect of easy walking on the floor is achieved. But at the same time, heavy objects will leave their unwanted markings on it. Jute or linen materials also look good as a substrate. They are pretreated with an antifungal compound and are provided with fireproof resistance. The use of a substrate is recommended if linoleum is without foundation. In this case, warming is mandatory. Otherwise, the substrates are not used, as they lack sufficient mechanical strength and rigidity. Back to contents</a>
Linen linen on your own: recommendations
Scheme of installation of conductive linoleum in rolls. As mentioned above, the first thing to check is how much the floor is leveled, whether the cracks and protrusions are removed. After wet cleaning, make sure that the floor remains dry, free of grease, paint and other contaminants. In case you use a substrate, at this stage it is necessary to expand it with the maximum uniformity on the sexual surface. Then the substrate is leveled and cut at the corners.

The roll with linoleum is rolled out with an even side near the wall, leaving the excess material for the remaining walls. Be sure to watch the layout of the picture. In case the roll is not wide enough, it is necessary to join the strips of the coating. 
Structure of household linoleum. For this purpose, the strips are arranged so that one covers the other with an overlap of about 10 cm. You will have to use the glue, attaching a part of the strip in the area of the joint to the floor. After that, using a knife, it is necessary to cut off the linoleum in the place of the lap under the ruler, removing the cut off and pasting the edges. The junction should be as inconspicuous as possible. When the arrangement of the pattern is compared, it is possible to begin boldly cutting the linoleum in the places of allowance, in the corners of the room. It is important and extremely necessary that it is possible to press the linoleum material with the greatest density against the walls along the perimeter and cut it with an accuracy. Next, using a spatula and placing it in the kinks, press the material to the corner between the floor and the wall. And with the help of a sharp knife, remove the excess part of the coating, that is, what was left on the allowance. After you do this, the maximum clearance that is allowed between the walls and the coating, should be no more than 1-2 mm. Do not worry, it will not be after the final leveling of the linoleum. At this stage, it is necessary to stop the work and let the linoleum lie off for about 24 hours. The bigger, the better. After that, you can easily start to mount the skirting.
