Hi all
I'm putting linoleum in my laundry room
the piece is cut and ready to go about 12x12 feet
the home depot guy told me that i don't have to glue it
some people suggested to use double sided tape on the outer edges
some people said i have to spread glue all over the floor
Any ideas, Anyone try to put it in without gluing it?

And the answer is ... as usual ... "It Depends".

On what will be under the floor covering.

On the quality of the floor covering.

On the pressures etc it will be subjected to.

On how long you need it to last.

Etc, etc.

If you don't fasten it at all, the edges will likely curl.

If it's cheap stuff, I wouldn't glue 100% of it.
