Recommended Uses: Bathroom, Kitchen, Laundry
Characteristics:
Sheet linoleum flooring is very beautiful and durable providing flexible design abilities for bathroom flooring, kitchen flooring, mud room, bedrooms or other areas through use of colors and patterns. Linoleum is a natural material and since it is made from natural raw materials you may see slight color and structural differences are possible between the production batches and samples. Linoleum flooring wears like iron and maintains a warm natural look and feel. Linoleum flooring may exceed 40+ years depending on the quality of the installation.
Installation Difficulty: Requires professional installation
Installation Method:
Sheet linoleum flooring installation requires very specialized expertise and techniques such as heat welding seams. This floor uses full spread trowel applied adhesive applied across the entire underside of the floor before it is placed down for installation.
Construction:
Sheet linoleum flooring like that manufactured by Marmoleum® is made primarily from natural ingredients which consist of oxidized linseed oil, rosins, cork and/or wood flour, all of which are embedded onto a carrier backing sheet. Depending on the embedding process used and the composition, various types of linoleum can be manufactured. Marmoleum linoleum flooring uses a dimensionally stable polyester backing.
