Here is another kitchen l installed marmoleum in recently. Prior to installing the marmoleum l put down a brand new subfloor using iron - ply sheets. Iron-ply is a type of sanded thin wood sub flooring l prefer using. From start to finish this floor took 3 days. It has 3 hand scribed seams in it.

Here is one of many marmoleum kitchens l have done recently.  This particular kitchen l installed the marmoleum over the existing vinyl versus putting down a brand new subfloor. The kitchen has 3 scribed seams and 1 in the hallway.

So here are some more photos of the job I did in Fauntleroy. In these photos you can see how long of a carpet stretch I had to do between both bedrooms downstairs. This house has two bedrooms upstairs and two bedrooms downstairs, plus two hallways. In my previous post you can see the detailed work I did with the bullnose stairs. I am very happy with the way this job turned out, This particular type of carpet is know as a "berber". Underneath the berber carpet I used an extra thick 8# pad which really made a difference in how the carpet feels when you walk, sit or lay on top of it. This 8 pound pad is thicker then the normal 8 pound foam pad I usually use. And the only reason I used it was because the 8 pound pad I had ordered for this job didn't show up when I picked up my order. As a result the company gave me the thicker 8 pound pad.What a difference it made! Even better the cost for the thicker 8 pound pad was very minimal compared to the normal 8 pound pad most flooring stores sell me. I highly recommend you look into a thicker 8 pound pad before you move up to a more expensive pad like "tripple touch, or healthy choice pad". The difference in price is significant...over $3.00 a yard you can save, which adds up quickly.
