Can Marmoleum be installed over an existing old floor?
Rental Samples Box: Marmoleum Click Cinch Loc Seal
We have an aging kitchen floor in our 100 year old bungalow -- worn through in spots, and it goes up the wall, too. Not sure how it was installed/if ripping it out would be toxic/etc. and just wondering if putting a new floor right over it and then installing trim would be an option.

Yes, Forbo Marmoleum Click Cinch Loc is a floating panel 12x36 or 12x12 that can sit on top of any hardwood floor provided it is flat, smooth, level and sound. Any bumps or dips need to be sanded down or filled with a patching compound. Dips are not cracks, those are ok. Dips means a sagging subfloor. Using our QuietWalk Plus underlayment will help a little bit to level the subfloor but not that much. If its very uneven, you could add a 3/8" plywood first than then install the Cinch Loc on top of that.
