What is Marmoleum®?

Marmoleum® is a floor covering a product used in residential and commercial applications. It is produced by England Forbo Flooring Company and is similar to Linoleum floor. Marmoleum® is made of a proprietary mixture of wooden flour, jute, pink and linen oils. This organic mixture is then pressed together and dried to produce leaves or tiles. Although this product has been on the market for more than a century, it is becoming increasingly popular due to the growth of the green buildings movement over the past few decades.

While it is primarily used for floor coverings, Marmoleum® products are also used to make boards, wall panels and other furniture types. Marmoleum® floors are often used in home instead of traditional linoleum, especially in kitchens, corridors and bathrooms. It is also popular with hospitals, medical offices and schools due to its requirements for low maintenance and natural antibacterial properties. Many restaurants use table tops or marmoleum® counters to minimizeThey were in the bacteria and allowed to clean.

This product is available in a number of different models and is truly customizable based on color, design and pattern. Traditional Marmoleum® is sold as leaves or tiles and is installed using a special adhesive that contains no solvents. Click Marmoleum® is available in panels or squares and is installed as a floating system. Floating floors are not connected to the floor, so no adhesives are needed. Instead, the panels simply click together using tongue and bottom connectors, allowing quick and easy installation.

Marmoleum® floors are relatively soft and comfortable under their feet, but are also surprisingly durable. They require low maintenance and are easily clean and highly resistant to stains and leaks. Unlike many other floors, Marmoleum® is Anti-Tatic, which means it does not attract dust. It is tooAntibacterial due to the presence of flax oil that kills bacteria when it oxidizes. Marmoleum® is also the only floor material that has been certified as asthma and allergy friendly asthma and allergies to the America Foundation.

Like linoleum, Marmoleum® is considered an environmentally friendly construction product. It is completely biodegradable and recyclable and is made of natural materials. All materials used in the production of Marmoleum® are rapidly renewable, which means they have a short period of growth that has a minimum impact on Earth. Finally, Marmoleum® contains no volatile organic compounds (VOC). VOC are a common component used in the floor and adhesives and are associated with poor quality of internal air and respiratory disease.
