I am looking to install a playroom floor as per the startup manual. This will go over a wood floor. a few questions I have are;
1) the manual says use armstrong linolium. it seems to me that linolium will crack if it has padding under it,also the size roll will require a seam.
2) vinyl flooring is really flexable and seems like it will not crack, but has a pattern of squares. Is this really a big distraction?
3) there seems to be a concern that the vinyl will loose its "memory" if installed on padding which over time could create bumps and dips.
4) what size padding have others used?
5) has anyone stapled the vinly/linolium into the floor where the floor meets the wall and had a strip molding cover that

If anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

Thanks Lisa
