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?

Thanks ahead

Home Depot is going / has gone to glueless vinyl flooring for ease of
installation. I'm not trying to be resistant to change, I just like
the old style of stuff better.

Nonetheless, if you have the stuff that isn't meant to be glued, don't
glue it. The backing isn't designed for general purpose glue and you
could ruin it by gluing it like a traditional vinyl floor. You might
want to use the "glass tape" in the doorway to keep it from buckling,
but you probably don't need to. It shouldn't shrink, curl, and any
dents you make in it with furniture or appliances should eventually
disappear. The thing I don't like about it is that it is pretty
difficult to seam or patch, but this is a little thing that won't be a
concern for most people.
