Linoleum Flooring
Overview & Use Cases
We provide materials‑only B2B supply for distributors, contractors, developers, architects and facility owners. Installation is performed by your appointed contractor/installer.
Linoleum Flooring is a natural resilient solution based on linseed oil, wood flour, resins and mineral fillers on a jute or polyester carrier. It provides durability, colour‑through design, and low emissions, making it a staple for education, healthcare, offices, cultural/public buildings and multi‑family amenities.
Best‑fit sectors:
-
Education: classrooms, corridors, canteens, libraries.
-
Healthcare: wards, corridors, admin areas (for wetrooms switch to vinyl systems).
-
Office & Public: meeting rooms, circulation, reception zones.
-
Cultural spaces: museums, galleries, libraries—colour‑true, matte, low‑glare finishes.

Key Advantages
for Projects
-
Natural composition: bio‑based content with colour‑through wear layer.
-
Durability: dense surface resists indentation and traffic; welded seams support hygiene.
-
Low VOC & IAQ: supports healthy interiors; EPD/LCA documentation available on request.
-
Design flexibility: wide colour palettes for wayfinding and zoning; matte low‑glare finishes.
-
Lifecycle value: robust performance with routine maintenance; colour‑through masks scratches.
Technical & Compliance
Confirm exact values per selected collection (datasheet/DoP/EPD).

Design & Installation Notes
-
Subfloor prep: moisture testing, levelling/smoothing; linoleum is dense and telegraphs irregularities.
-
Welding & coving: use matching welding rods; form coved skirtings with preformed or site‑formed coves.
-
Seam layout: align away from water sources; plan roll directions to manage colour shading.
-
Maintenance: neutral cleaners, routine polish where specified; avoid excessive water in maintenance.

FAQ
Here you’ll find answers to the most common questions our customers ask when choosing flooring. This section is designed to help you make confident and informed decisions. If you don’t see the information you’re looking for, feel free to contact our support team — we’re always here to help.
Is linoleum suitable for healthcare corridors and patient rooms?
+
Yes—welded seams and coved skirtings support hygiene; verify chemical resistance for cleaning protocols.
Can linoleum be used in wetrooms or showers?
+
No—use wetroom vinyl systems with welded seams and compatible drains for continuously wet areas.
Does linoleum require special maintenance?
+
Follow the routine care guide; periodic polish may be recommended depending on finish and traffic.
How does linoleum compare to heterogeneous vinyl acoustically?
+
Linoleum offers medium acoustic performance; for up to ~19 dB targets, select heterogeneous acoustic vinyl or an acoustic underlay.
Do you provide installation?
+
No—materials only. Installation by your appointed contractor.
