What Makes Marmoleum Flooring Naturally Healthy?

The raw materials that make up Forbo Marmoleum flooring naturally resist microbial growth. Specifically, the linseed oil used in the production of Marmoleum has inherent antibacterial properties that won't diminish over time. In fact, tests have shown that bacteria like MRSA and Staphylococcus aureus do not multiply on Marmoleum flooring, according to Forbo.

In terms of health and wellness, the core benefits of Marmoleum flooring include the following:

• Prevent the Growth of Bacteria: As mentioned above, Marmoleum's composition is designed to resist microbial growth, preventing bacteria from spreading on its surface. And because this protection comes from the material itself, it doesn't wear off or diminish over the life of the floor.
• Allergy Approved: Forbo Marmoleum flooring has earned the Seal of Approval from Allergy UK, which acknowledges its ability to resist harboring allergens and dust mites. With over 50 million Americans suffering from allergic diseases triggered by indoor environments, Marmoleum is a smart choice for schools, healthcare facilities, offices, and any space where people spend extended time.
• Phthalate-Free: Unlike PVC and vinyl flooring, which rely on phthalates and plasticizers to remain flexible, Marmoleum contains neither of these materials nor any mineral oil. Since certain phthalates have been linked to health concerns, choosing a phthalate-free floor is a meaningful step toward a safer, healthier indoor environment.
• Low Emission: Marmoleum emits total volatile organic compounds (TVOCs) up to 30 times lower than the norm, contributing to noticeably cleaner indoor air. That makes it a strong fit for spaces where air quality is a priority, from nurseries and classrooms to hospitals and offices.
• Acoustic: Because impact sound is generated the moment it hits the floor, addressing noise at its source is the most effective way to create a quieter space. Forbo's acoustic Marmoleum constructions reduce impact sound by 14 to 19 dB, pairing sustainable materials with genuine noise-dampening performance.

The Full Range of Forbo Marmoleum Flooring

Forbo Marmoleum comprises an entire line of natural linoleum flooring and surface material, each designed with different installation requirements, patterns and colorways, and suitable applications in mind. Below is an overview of the full range you can expect from the Forbo Marmoleum collection.

Marmoleum Sheet Flooring

Marmoleum Sheet is where the brand's design range truly lives, offered across Solid, Marbled, and Linear collections. The Solid collection strips linoleum down to its minimal essence, with Marmoleum Walton presenting the material in its purest, classic form and Concrete offering warm and cool grey neutrals for an industrial feel.

Marmoleum Marbled spans more than 90 shades built around a natural marbling process, with Real and Vivace standing out as two of the most popular styles, while the Linear collection, hallmarked as Striato, introduces directional stripes in warm, wood- and stone-inspired tones. Marmoleum sheet flooring comes in sheets and rolls, depending on the order, which offers a more seamless look. However, these products also require specialized adhesive and professional installation due to these nuances.

Marmoleum Click and Cinch Loc

Marmoleum Click Cinch Loc takes the same natural linoleum surface and pairs it with a tongue-and-groove floating floor system, so it can be installed without glue or specialized tools. This makes it a genuinely approachable option for DIYers and homeowners who want to install their own floor over a weekend, something sheet isn't as suitable for. It's especially popular for basements, home offices, and rental units where a removable, damage-free installation matters.

Marmoleum Composition Tile and Sheet (MCT and MCS)

MCT (Marmoleum Composition Tile) and MCS (Marmoleum Composition Sheet) bring the same natural linoleum composition into a modular tile format that's easier to handle in smaller sections. These products work well for spaces that call for pattern mixing, spot repairs, or phased installation, since damaged tiles can be replaced individually rather than requiring a full sheet replacement. They're a common choice in commercial settings like schools and healthcare facilities, where durability and easy upkeep matter as much as design.

Modular Glue-Down Tiles

Forbo's Modular tile line combines the design flexibility of tile with the permanence of a glued-down installation, giving designers more room to create custom patterns, borders, and inlays. This format sits between the DIY-friendly Click system and the fully custom nature of sheet goods, offering a middle ground for projects that want some design creativity without the full complexity of sheet installation.

Adhesives, Cleaners, and Finishes

Every Marmoleum installation is only as good as the products supporting it, which is why Forbo makes its own line of non-toxic adhesives, cleaners, and finishes formulated specifically for its natural linoleum material. These products are solvent-free and low-to-no VOC, keeping the entire installation and maintenance process aligned with the same health-conscious standards as the flooring itself. Using Forbo's own care products also helps preserve the manufacturer's warranty, since off-brand cleaners can sometimes strip the protective Topshield2 finish over time.
