Can linoleum be fitted on uneven floors?
My existing floor is not totally even. Is it still okay to fit linoleum flooring over it?
Expert Trade Answers
"Floor needs to be flat to fit linoleum. If subfloor is concrete would need latexing or if wood subfloor would need ply boarding."

"It is recommended to apply a smoothing compound compound if the subfloor is concrete or sand and cement screed or lined with plywood if the subfloor is wood"
