Marmoleum: Good Choice for Non-Toxic, Multi-purpose Natural Flooring


Most people haven't heard of Marmoleum - yet. Yes, it is linoleum, but not the kind you may have grown up walking on. Marmoleum is all natural and sustainable. It is available in a variety of beautiful colors. Best of all, Marmoleum doesn't have any adverse health issues; it doesn't off-gas into your home.

Marmoleum is made with natural ingredients without any harmful VOCs or other toxic chemicals. It is installed with solvent-free adhesives.
It creates a warm, comfortable floor that is easy to clean and will make your room come alive with color.

This flooring solution is a great choice for those with severe allergies and sensitivities. The natural bactericidal properties of this product prevent micro-organisms including Salmonella Typhimurium and Staphylococcus Aureus from multiplying. For these reasons, Marmoleum is the floor covering of choice in many hospitals, as well as being recommended by medical professionals for people with respiratory disorders.

One of the primary ingredients in Marmoleum is linseed oil, which is obtained by pressing the seeds of the flax plant. Linseed oil is used for many purposes, ranging from cooking to providing quick relief to people suffering from a cold. In addition to linseed oil, other ingredients in Marmoleum include rosins, wood flour, jute and ecologically responsible pigments.

With this sheet tile you can design your own floors. Marmoleum offers is available in more than 150 colors, insets and borders.

Since Marmoleum is a natural organic product, its performance is enhanced by time, as exposure to air serves to harden and increase its durability. Although the flooring continues to harden over time, the floor remains quiet and comfortable under foot.
