MARMOLEUM
DOWNLOAD PDF

Marmoleum is made from linseed oil from specially cultivated Canadian flax. Wood flour from European trees. Rosin tapped from Portuguese pine trees. Jute from India and Bangladesh. And very finely ground limestone. All Marmoleum floors are natural Forbo Flooring products. Made from materials abundant in nature and produced according to an environment-friendly procedure. Once installed, Marmoleum is hygienic and anti-static, as well as being fully biodegradable after 25 to 40 years’ use. In this way the product eventually gives its materials back to nature. Forbo Flooring therefore has an Environmental Hallmark, an independent and reliable approval for consumer products.

Marmoleum and the Asthma fund
A dust-free house is healthier for asthma patients suffering from dust mite allergy. The floor is an important factor, because lots of dust can build up there. Marmoleum is therefore a solution because it is easy to keep dust-free. Laboratory studies have also shown Marmoleum to be both anti-static and bacteriostatic: micro-organisms do not thrive easily on it, which makes the floor naturally hygienic.

Marmoleum click is a Marmoleum laminate on HDF panels and cork. It incorporates Marmoleum and the subfloor system in a single product, and can be installed on almost every type of floor.

Floor heating
Marmoleum is a natural product and therefore quickly adapts to the temperature in a room. It is also ideal for use in combination with floor heating. Do note, however, that the flooring construction will limit heat transfer.

Drying room yellowing
Don’t be surprised if the colour looks different at home, when your Marmoleum floor is first delivered. It may have a yellowish film that wasn’t visible in the shop when you selected it. This is due to the drying room film: a layer of oxidised linseed oil is formed on the Marmoleum in the final phase of the production process while it is hanging to dry in the so-called drying rooms. Don’t worry – it will quickly disappear as soon as your floor is exposed to (day)light.
