Marmoleum Frequently asked Questions

Lots of people ask the simple question, What is Marmoleum anyway?

First of all, it is a four syllable word that is slang for marbleized linoleum. Made from linseed or flaxseed oil, natural pigments, limestone dust, wood fibers and resins and then pressed onto a jute backing it is a great alternative to vinyl flooring. People who are sensitive to plastics and their off-gassing like it because it is not pvc or rubber and contains no acrylics. It also doesn’t require the use of volatile adhesives or contact cements to install it.

I ordered samples of Marmoleum and I heard that the color will be very different when the product arrives to be installed?

There is definitely some truth there since all natural linoleum flooring that was made with flaxseed oil has a natural amber hue to it when it is first made. When exposed to sunlight it’s color changes and it loses much of its amber hue. For instance, many of the blue colors will look green initially and when the amber-yellow cast fades they become the true blue color of the samples. A lot of folks get totally freaked out by this but it is not necessary to get crazy and the color will definitely change over time.

How long does Marmoleum last?

Some floors have lasted 35 years and are still in good condition. Forbo offers a full 25 year warranty on normal wear and tear

Is Marmoleum easy to clean and will it hold up when if chemicals are spilled?

Forbo Marmoleum products are subject to indicative chemical/stain testing in accordance with European standards. The tests provide baseline information on the effects of short term exposure to chemicals after cleaning and should be used as a comparative guide.

Is your Bulletin Board paintable?

Yes. We would suggest using a water based emulsion paint, but would advise testing the application first for adhesion on a small sample of material. However, as the paint is going to be less flexible than the Bulletin Board, marks may remain visible in the paint layer.

Forbo makes so many awesome linoleum flooring products, how can I ever settle on just one?

Marmoleum Click: is the snap lock floating flooring that is perfect for any DIY installer with basic skills.

MCT Tile: is the thin linoleum tiles that just about anyone who has put down any tiles can manage.

Sheet Marmoleum: is the glue-down heavy duty linoleum that we have all come to love for the last 150 years.

The best part is that no matter what you select and for what specific application, they will all hold up well because virtually all their product’s surfaces are now coated with the revolutionary TopShield II finish.
