Friday's Fabulous Flooring Feature #2

MARMOLEUM

Are you trying to go green?  Is choosing an environmentally friendly floor important to you?  If your answer is yes to either of these questions, then Marmoleum is your answer.  

Not many people know that Marmoleum is the original marbleised linoleum floor product and has been around for over 150 years!

Marmoleum is great for commercial applications, as well as residential applications.  
It is available in:
sheet form:

tile form:

click tiles:

and comes complete with some fun borders & corners to choose.

Marmoleum is made with all natural ingredients:  
  • Wood Flour:  from timber grown in controlled forests, where every tree felled is replaced
  • Linseed Oil: which comes from flax seeds 
  • Pine rosins:  (pine pitch or gum) which is mixed with the linseed oil for flexibility
  • Jute fibres:  woven for the backing
  • Cork:  for the backing of the "click" version
The adhesives used to install Marmoleum are environmentally friendly, and contain no solvents and meet low VOC requirements.

Marmoleum has a natural anti-static property so dust mites and dirt will not stick to it, and bacteria will not grow on it.  

The recommended regular maintenance and cleaning, after the floor finish has been applied, consists of sweeping, dust mopping, and vacuuming.  For tougher stains we have an environmentally friendly Marmoleum cleaner, that you can dispose of down the drain without worry.  

So if you are looking for that environmentally friendly floor, with fabulous fun ideas, check out Forbo Marmoleum at Superior Tile.  2-218 Industrial Park Cres.,  Sault Ste. Marie, ON.
