It's like with any flooring, there are pros and cons. This also applies to linoleum. The plus for me is that linoleum is very durable. Its smooth surface makes it easy to clean. It is also slip-resistant.

The only downside I see is that linoleum cannot tolerate moisture, as it swells up.

I am now cured of the linoleum hype. Many friends have installed this in their homes, so I chose the covering for the kitchen and strongly regret it. The floor scratches really incredibly fast because it is so soft, and that bothers me a lot with such a smooth floor. Furthermore, our dishwasher promptly broke down with water damage and of course caused a certain area to swell.
I would never install such a floor in the children's room (we had considered it).. you just get annoyed when it is already scratched after 1 week. In a few years I will replace the floor with tiles. The children's room meanwhile has received parquet like the bedrooms.

Hi Naura,

Thank you very much for your report. I have had similar experiences with linoleum. Ultimately, it was also removed from the children's room and parquet flooring was installed there. It looks better and also lasts longer.

That is also a matter of price for many. Linoleum costs only a fraction of what [parkett] costs. It is clear that [linoleum] is more susceptible. But [parkett] is not durable in the long run either.

That is of course true and the price difference is quite significant. I have linoleum in the hallway and am very satisfied. However, I would not install linoleum in the wet area.

For me, linoleum only has advantages; it is easy to clean and resistant.
