  3.Installation way

vinyl is specifically designed to be DIY-friendly, whereas a lot can go wrong with a linoleum installation.

  4. Maintenance

Vinyl is the lowest maintenance floor on the market. She's a tough cookie and can handle cleaners (although you only need something gentle) and, other than basic cleaning, no other work is required. Linoleum, on the other hand, can be a little bit of a delicate flower. It cannot take harsh cleaning chemicals or large amounts of water from a wet mop. Linoleum also needs to be sealed 1-2 times per year.
