About Marmoleum Walton Solid Sheet Flooring
The beautiful range of colors that inspire this flooring line is dedicated to Frederick Walton, who produced the first linoleum as early as 1863. The smooth, solid-colored Marmoleum Walton collection comes in a wide range of unique colorways, offering a minimal, unpretentious aesthetic that's uniform and remarkably adaptable to nearly any interior context, from modern residential spaces to commercial showrooms and healthcare environments. Walton's contemporary color palette spans cool neutrals and warm earthy tones that give designers a versatile foundation that goes well with various types of finishes and furnishings.
Benefits of Marmoleum Walton Flooring
Beyond its clean aesthetic, Marmoleum Walton delivers an incredible display of performance and wellness benefits that set it apart from conventional linoleum flooring. It is naturally bacteriostatic, meaning it actively inhibits the growth and spread of bacteria over the life of the floor. In fact, an independent study found Marmoleum effective against the spread of harmful bacteria like MRSA, staphylococcus, and other infection-causing bacteria.
Marmoleum Walton is stamped with the Allergy UK approval and contains no phthalates, plasticizers, or mineral oil. It also emits total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) up to 30 times lower than the European norm, making it a zero-VOC, low-emission choice for spaces where indoor air quality is vital. And for installations where noise control is a priority, Walton is also available in a 3.5 mm decibel construction, adding impressive sound-dampening performance that reduces impact noise between floors.
Natural, Bio-Based Composition
Marmoleum Walton is made from up to 98% natural raw materials, including linseed oil, wood flour, rosin (pine resin), limestone, and jute, which are all sourced from renewable, natural origins. Oxidized linseed oil and rosin bind with wood flour, limestone, and pigment to form linoleum granules, which are then calendared onto a jute backing to create the finished sheet, topped with a durable acrylic lacquer finish. Because these are true bio-based materials rather than synthetic vinyl compounds, Walton offers the warmth and character of a natural product while still meeting the performance demands of high-traffic floors.
Sustainable, Eco-Friendly & Climate Positive
Marmoleum Walton flooring is manufactured with sustainability built into every stage of production. Every square yard is climate positive on a cradle-to-gate basis without relying on carbon offsetting, reflecting a CO2 footprint of roughly -0.67 to -0.13 kg CO2e/m² depending on thickness. Production runs on 100% renewable electricity with additional on-site solar generation, and Forbo has cut scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 36% since 2019.
The manufacturing process itself requires no water, and the finished floor contains 35-36% recycled content. Because Marmoleum is fully biodegradable and free of PVC, it also avoids the environmental burden associated with vinyl-based alternatives, making Walton a genuinely climate-conscious, sustainable flooring for eco-focused applications.
Easy to Clean & Maintain
Marmoleum Walton is finished with Topshield2, a factory-applied protective layer that becomes part of the linoleum itself and should never be stripped or removed. This finish makes day-to-day upkeep simple. Routine care only requires vacuuming, sweeping, or damp mopping to remove dust and loose dirt, with a neutral, pH-balanced cleaner (7.0-8.5) used for spills and spot cleaning.
Because the cleaning process of Marmoleum natural linoleum flooring doesn't require more than a damp mop, it fits naturally into a low-maintenance, resource-conscious upkeep routine. For higher-traffic settings, periodic spray buffing or scrubbing restores the finish's appearance without any need for wax or re-coating, keeping Walton looking like new for years with minimal effort.
