Linoleum is a versatile flooring material that predates laminate and vinyl flooring. Once thought of as a “cheap” flooring option, linoleum is now making a comeback thanks to its low cost and eco-friendly attributes (it’s made from flax seeds, linseed oil, wood flour, and cork dust). Compared to vinyl or laminate flooring, linoleum floors last longer and are just as easy to maintain.

The Benefits of Linoleum Flooring
Linoleum flooring installation is one of the top choices for flooring because of its durability, cost, comfort, and little to no maintenance.
And since linoleum comes in multiple colours, styles, and patterns, you can match it with any decor in your home.

Our Linoleum Flooring Installation Process
Mr. Handyman can install linoleum sheets and tiles in any room of your home. We’ll always take the necessary steps to prepare the subfloor and fill any holes and imperfections for a perfectly flat installation surface.
Once the floor is down, we can install any necessary trim work and baseboards for the professional finishing touches that make all the difference. Since linoleum requires annual waxing, we can provide you with some simple care instructions to help you keep your floor looking great for years to come.
Linoleum Repair
While linoleum flooring is durable, it can still experience issues over time. In many cases, a torn or ripped linoleum floor needs to be replaced. However, there are some exceptions; once Mr. Handyman arrives at your property, we’ll help you find a cost-effective repair option. Whether this is repairing the area with a liquid seam sealer, patching the area and buffing it to blend with the existing floor, or replacing your linoleum floor altogether, we’ll help you decide on the best repair approach.

Linoleum Floor Installation FAQs
Before scheduling your linoleum flooring installation appointment, you likely have questions about what to expect. If you don’t see your question about our flooring services listed below, one of our service professionals will happily answer it.
Can you replace a section of linoleum flooring?
Yes, during our linoleum flooring repair, we can replace a section of it. We’ll match new pieces of linoleum to the proper fit and aesthetic of the surrounding flooring.
How do you fix a linoleum floor that is bulging?
If the linoleum isn’t bound to the floor, we can puncture the bubble and apply adhesive to make it stick. We’ll then smooth it out to match the rest of your flooring.
How long does linoleum flooring installation take?
It depends on several factors, such as the size of the area, the layout complexity, and the subfloor's condition. However, larger rooms could take 3-5 days, while smaller rooms could take 1-3 days.
Can linoleum flooring be installed in high-moisture areas?
Yes, linoleum flooring suits high-moisture areas like the kitchen, bathroom, or basement if installed with the right materials and technique.
To start, install a moisture barrier (such as a polyethylene sheet) over the subfloor to prevent moisture from reaching the linoleum from below. Before applying a water-resistant adhesive designed for high-moisture areas to provide a stronger bond, ensure your subfloor is clean, dry, and level to avoid any imperfections that could affect the installation and performance of the linoleum. Once your linoleum is installed, properly seal it to prevent water from seeping underneath the flooring. Pay special attention to seal any edges where the linoleum meets walls, cabinets, or fixtures to prevent moisture infiltration.
Can linoleum flooring be installed over existing flooring?
Linoleum flooring can be installed over subflooring if it’s in good condition. The existing flooring needs to be even and smooth. You can start your linoleum flooring installation once the existing surface is clean and level. You want to repair any dents and divots, especially if you are installing it in an area after removing the carpet.
