juco Full Member Offline Ask The Trades Posts: 183 Total Thanks: 0 For This Post: 0 Gender:	Floor covering Jan 6^th, 2008, 6:46pm I require to cover a floor and have chosen to do this in linoleum, the floor is normal 6x1/2 or maybe 3/4 inch wood so not chipboard. Is it ok to lay the lino direct onto the wooden floor.? Or will the strips of wood eventually show through? thanks

heeeelllooo juco and welcome Grin

assuming the floor is fairly flat drag a hammer head accross the floor remove any tacks or staples it finds knock in any nails that are proud of the surface secure any loose planks

cover with hardboard pin in a grid every 6 inches or so making sure if you have a join its on the same board to tie the ends/sides together
