Kitchen Floor - linoleum recommendations please

[jet_noise]

Dear All,

I'm in the market for a replacement kitchen floor to be laid over existing tiles with some making good i.e. the floor will be very level.

Mrs Noise is specifying a high quality "faux" tile linoleum - warmer and easier to clean. Can anyone suggest for what I should be looking and from whom I might purchase please? I'm 'twixt Bristol and Bath,

regards,
Jet

ETA please, politeness is free

Just trundle into your local carpet shop - there are hundreds of colours and patterns to choose from.

A good company to deal with;

If the covering is to go directly over a tiled floor the floor will have to be self leveled ( latex ), if you dont the grout lines will show very quickly, if you want a lino floor Rhino is very good ( on a roll ) if not go down the Karndean route.

Mrs Noise will be in surfing heaven for days

I wouldn't choose vinyl flooring (lino disappeared years ago) from a website - you can't judge the feel and the colours are probably wrong. But you're right, there's no shortage of choice and IMHO far more friendly than tiles.

Lino is still around:

Blimey. Something to do with linolenic acid I believe... back in the 50's my parent's house had acres of the brown stuff with hessian backing. Thought vinyl had replaced it, evidently not!

Presumably 'marmoleum' is an ester of linolenic acid and Marmite!
