 Posted: Wed Nov 13, 2002 11:01 amI was wondering what type of floor was popular for a 1920's bungalow. In the future we will need to replace our linoleum floor. The rest of the house is hardwood.

Posted: Wed Nov 13, 2002 11:01 am Real linoleum -- save what you have if you can! Its nontoxic, environmentally friendly, and hard as steel. Plus its authentic.

<br>Vinyl is NOT linoleum. Look for it at most flooring stores (may be called Marmoleum).

Posted: Wed Nov 13, 2002 11:01 am Think about if it really needs to be replaced.
<br>I've been into some old homes with worn linoleum that added charm. It would be hard to replace some of the patterns I've seen.
