Hell no, it looks terrible so quickly. The patterns to make it look like “wood” or whatever are at most a millimeter deep, so enough usage and suddenly you have a worn out blank spot in your giant piece of shit plastic floor.
It outgasses forever, you’re funding the fossil fuel industry, it looks and feels like shit, and you’ll throw it out in 5-10yrs.
Tldr, fuck linoleum, it is inferior in all but one metric: water resistance.
I’ve heard & seen vinyl and linoleum used interchangeably over a lifetime, and I don’t believe the original recipe is still manufactured so far as I have seen.
Even if it is still being manufactured, the vast majority of people talking about linoleum seem to mean vinyl. I’m going with the average vernacular, and still stand by all my original points re: vinyl.
You sure that’s hard wood? You sure it’s not laminate designed to look like hard wood?
Step one to fixing it would be actually finding out what it is.
Looks like linoleum lol
Linoleum is kind of awesome.
It can support your head
And give you something to believe

What? One of linoleum’s benefits is not off gassing and not being made from fossil fuels. Are you thinking of vinyl?

Pretty bizarre if people do this. I’ve never heard it to mean anything but linoleum.
But a lot of people in the US use the word “turf” to specify not turf (i.e. artificial turf), so there’s no reason for words to mean things.
