Contrary to popular belief, floating linoleum flooring is not a type of linoleum but rather a method of installation. To float a linoleum floor means to lay it down without securing it to the subfloor below using adhesive glue. Much like the case with floating luxury vinyl flooring, this is a great installation method for those who are short on time or on money for installation. However, for a super secure installation, it’s recommended that you use glue to lay the floors. Even though floating installation is much easier and takes far less time, I always recommend opting for more thorough installation methods. Don’t cut corners, but rather keep longevity in mind and dedicate the proper time and care to your linoleum installation.
