Often the linoleum is filling over a pretty worn parquet or tiled floor. But, despite the fact that the old sexual coating will not be removed, the base under linoleum should be put in order.
When working on a parquet floor, you will need to check each bar. All “sobbly” strips will need to be carefully fixed with mastic or nails. The slots between the straps and cracks on them should be covered with. When the putty makes the makeup, polish these places with a skirt. If the parquet floor is strongly worn and has large irregularities, it is better from above on the floor to lay fiber plates, and then laying linoleum.
Tile base of the floor requires more thorough preparations. Otherwise, on the new linoleum, over time, the contours of the old tile can take off. Therefore, you first need to fix all rough defects on the old tiled floor. And only then the WHC on it or make a cement screed with sand adding. And to the screed turns out to be more durable (without cracks and detachments), it must be watering 2-3 times a day for a week. Then allow the screed to dry well. And only then lay the linoleum.
And yet: when preparing any sexual basis for a linoleum cauldron, do not forget to immediately remove the plinth. To the place will return them as soon as Linoleum is thoroughly saved.
