I decided to upgrade the kitchen flooring in a rental property. I used a floating
vinyl flooring, I use in most of my rentals. It's a floating floor, no bonding. It's
cheap, $1/ sq ft. It's a handy man's dream, you can bend it without damaging it. You
install it with a quarter inch around the edge for expansion. I unrolled it upside
down in living room for a day to relax. Installed it in about an hour. Next day
trimmed any edge that came close to wall.
It works well in a house with a basement where the floor temp remains constant. Not to
good in a mobile home where floor temps change in winter.
If not properly installed, the floor will buckle, then you need to trim the edges.
I like it, because you can put it over old floors as long as they are level. And it
easy to install and remove if damaged.
Downside is you can't rush the installation, need to give it time to relax and spread
out before you put range and refrig in place.
I call it Landlords delight, cheap and easy. Wilson, I'm not saying I'm cheap or easy.
