Using lino as a kitchen backboard

breaking_free
Posts: 780 Forumite

Okay, it might sound a bit daft but has anybody used lino (not vinyl or vinyl tiles) on their kitchen walls instead of, say, kitchen tiles or coloured glass/acrylic sheets?
I've seen some awesome pictures of kitchens where people have created unusual splashbacks and backboards from all kinds of materials (including wooden flooring). I wondered if it would be possible to use lino and if so, what would be the best way of bonding it to a kitchen wall?
Alternatively if somebody has any good suggestions for vinyl I'd be glad to hear from you.
Thanks in advance.

I did just this before posting but was hoping for more replies specifically about linoleum thanks."The problem with Internet quotes is that you can't always depend on their accuracy" - Abraham Lincoln, 18640 -
Maybe you could fix it to the wall with the same spray adhesive used to secure it to a concrete floor?0

I would worry about its flammability in the kitchen. It would only take a little flame for a fire to spread across the whole kitchen wall, as it melts and drips flames around the surrounding areas.:A:dance:1+1+1=1:dance::A
