Older linoleum is generally uneven, bubbled, or textured which can make the edges not line up perfectly. The reason for this is the condition of the old linoleum is most likely not in the greatest condition for a substrate.

However, we chose to add more adhesive to the tile because reviews suggested that the adhesive backing wasn’t enough. First, not all groutable vinyl tile has the adhesive coating on it.
