    found a happy medium. I want tile and hubby doesnt. Doing addition, 1/2 has existing linoleum floor and the new part will have plywood. Ever tried this product? Thoughts... Is this easy to install?

    We had mannington adura installed about a year ago. They had to put down a subfloor over the old linoleum, took about a day total. As for the product - love it, not cold in the winter, not hard on your feet and really easy to clean We have had lots of compliments...ours looks like stone tile.

    We installed Congoleum Durastone which is no longer available because they changed it to Dura Ceramic.We did it ourselves right over the vinyl floor.I really like it.

    Great.. we are thinking of doing it ourselves. Did you grout it? I am getting nervous about the chalk lines, etc.

    No there is no grouting and it is very easy to cut. You just score and break.I did all the easy parts and my husband did all the corners and cutting the edges so he doesn't think it was as easy as I did.SmileI think they said you could grout if you wanted but was not necessary. MY husband called congoleum and talked to them . You could try that also. We laid them out on the floor first with out glue to see what it would look like, if you are doing any kind of pattern. I can try to send you a picture of what we did if you would like.Good luck.
