I am installing bamboo hardwood floors within my kitchen, which currently has two layer of linoleum. Can install them over the linoleum or do I have to opening it out?
Answers: tearing it out is the best style to do it
If it's an engineered board, you could float it over the linoleum. If it's a solid board, you *could* install it over the linoleum IF the floor under the linoleum is wood. It would probably be best to fastener straight into the wood sub-floor, just so you're guaranteed a right hold, so the floor doesn't come up over time. I would suggest taking up the linoleum. Especially if you're kitchen connects to another wood floor, as there will be a loftiness difference.
