Why Linoleum

What It Is & Why Specify It

Linoleum is a bio‑based, colour‑through sheet floor that balances durability, hygiene and sustainability. It's ideal where robust performance and natural composition are desired — education, healthcare, offices, public spaces.

We supply materials to B2B customers. We also offer professional installation services, or you can use your own contractor.

Colour‑through wear layer

Masks scratches and supports long service life.

Welded seams + coving

Enable cleanable, hygienic envelopes in corridors and clinics.

Low VOC & EPD

Support green building goals and healthy indoor air.

Matte, low‑glare

Aesthetics in broad colour palettes for zoning and wayfinding.

Natural composition

Linseed oil, wood flour, resins and mineral fillers on jute/polyester carrier.

Protection

Reduces wear on focal points of LVT/SPC/wood/stone floors.

Technical Essentials

Spec Snapshot — request datasheets/DoP/EPD for the chosen collection and jurisdiction.

  • Thickness

    2.0–3.2 mm (collection‑dependent).

  • Width

    ~2.0 m rolls (line‑dependent).

  • Fire performance

    Typically Bfl‑s1 (verify DoP/test per SKU).

  • Slip resistance

    R9–R10 (line‑dependent); safety floors are separate systems.

  • Use class

    33–34 commercial (selected 41–43 light industrial).

  • Seams & coving

    Hot‑welded seams compatible with coved skirtings for hygienic transitions.

  • Indoor air

    Low VOC; EPD/LCA documentation available on request.

  • Antibacterial

    Inherent from natural composition (no biocide claims — see datasheet).

Design Notes & Detailing

  • Seams & direction

    Plan roll direction to control shading; stagger seams away from splash points.

  • Coving & skirtings

    Use preformed/site‑formed coves; seal penetrations around pipes/fixtures.

  • Transitions

    Coordinate thresholds to LVT/SPC/vinyl in adjacent spaces; plan stair nosings from Stairs solution.

  • Maintenance

    Neutral detergents; periodic polish where specified to maintain appearance.

Linoleum vs Vinyl (Heterogeneous / Homogeneous)

Quick comparison — choose linoleum for bio‑based composition and colour‑through design; choose heterogeneous vinyl for acoustic targets up to ~19 dB; choose homogeneous vinyl for best‑in‑class seamless hygiene.

Sector‑Specific Guidance

Linoleum scales across education, healthcare, office and public environments — here's how to match build‑up to sector so the spec lands right the first time.

01

Education

Classrooms, corridors, canteens and libraries — colour‑through wear tolerates high foot traffic and scuffs from furniture.

02

Healthcare

Wards, corridors and admin areas; verify chemical resistance for cleaning protocols. For wetrooms, switch to welded vinyl systems with compatible drainage.

03

Office & Public

Meeting rooms, reception and circulation; matte low‑glare finishes suit museums, galleries and libraries where colour truth matters.

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.

01

Is linoleum suitable for classrooms and corridors?

+

Yes — dense, colour‑through sheet with welded seams performs well in education traffic.

02

Can we use linoleum in bathrooms or showers?

+

For showers/wetrooms use vinyl wetroom systems; linoleum is not for permanently wet areas.

03

How do we keep linoleum looking good long‑term?

+

Follow routine maintenance; consider initial polish and periodic refresh depending on the finish and traffic.

04

Do you provide installation?

+

We focus on materials supply, but we also offer professional flooring installation. Alternatively, use your own appointed contractor.
