ossify 1 Report post Posted November 18, 2009 I just thought of using linoleum flooring for the kitchen. Read on to find out more. This product is all about durability after all, it was not named the 40 year floor for nothing! Linoleum is an excellent solution for bathroom floors for several reasons: * Scratch Resistance - Linoleum does not show scratches and scuffs. Even if the material is cut by a sharp falling object linoleum can be easily buffed back to its original brilliance. It is possible for the material to actually heal itself! * Strength - Linoleum actually grows stronger with age giving this floor the advantage of lasting a very long time. * Fire Resistance - Linoleum is extremely difficult to ignite and since it is a natural product does not emit harmful fumes. * Water Resistance - When installed properly this product is impervious to water. Perfect for a bathroom. * Maintenance - Sweeping and light mopping makes linoleum extremely easy to clean. Another area in which linoleum excels as a material for your bathroom floor is in the health department. Linseed oil is a natural ingredient found in linoleum flooring. Its presence allows for linoleum to succeed as being a naturally antimicrobial floor. Perfect for combating mold and mildew. As linseed oil oxidizes it prevents bacteria such as Salmonella Typhimurium, and Staphylococus Aureus from breeding and multiplying. Other flooring receives chemical agents in order to achieve the same affect however these agents will wear off over time. No matter the age oflinoleum or the finishing that it may receive, this product will always remains antimicrobial. It also repels dust, and dirt which is why this product is commonly used in hospitals and schools. If designing your bathroom from a green perspective is important to you, linoleum is a winner. Made entirely from natural ingredients this flooring option is totally organic and is therefore 100% biodegradable!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If everything go smooth, I think can really save why would painter damage the tile? just make sure you protect the tile with protection before painting anyway i have a on-site supervisor and only one party will do reno at any one time so there is nobody else to push the blame to.

Hahaha I dont mind bro. Anyway, I think if you just want contractor to do hacking only, best to go direct tiler who provides hacking inclusive. Otherwise, my contractor should be able to do all your wish list with us having a peace of mind. Check ur PM bro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
