I have the following queries?


Are you talking yer actual proper Lino (the hessian - or was it Jute?
backed stuff), or are we talking modern flexible vinyl flooring?

Do I put the Lino straight onto the wooden floors or is it best if I
lay hardboard first?

I wanted to lay the Lino first and then place the bathroom
furniture...Is this a good Idea?

Do I need to glue it down or it it best that I use double sided to
tape down the edges?

Any tips would be appreciated?


Flexible Vinyl type I'm afraid

Can you still buy Lino? I thought it was dead and gone. Anyway if you lay it
over anything uneven, even a piece of paper, the irregularities will show
through eventually. So put it on hardboard.
