The benefits of linoleum flooring

Linoleum has been manufactured since the nineteenth century. Its name reflects the use of linseed oil. Traditional formulations also include ingredients such as wood flour, cork flour and natural resins. Renewable raw materials are an important part of its composition.

Linoleum combines a resilient feel with durability. Like any floor covering, it can still be damaged by sharp objects or concentrated loads. Use suitable furniture protection and follow the manufacturer's recommendations.

Long service life and straightforward maintenance can make linoleum a practical choice. Actual performance depends on the product, installation, use and care. Check suitability before specifying it for kitchens or wet areas, and follow the prescribed cleaning routine.

Compare the purchase price, installation and maintenance costs to decide whether linoleum suits your budget.
