Pros
Natural Beauty
Linoleum is made from natural ingredients. The floor patterns and vivid, saturated colors create dramatic design statements worthy of Mother Nature.
Long Lasting
Life spans that can last 40 years or more. Pattern and color extend through the thickness of product, so even if the
flooring begins to wear down, the design and color remain.
Stands Up to Heavy Traffic
Extremely durable
linoleum is difficult to gouge or chip, and is an excellent choice for active households.
A Great Value
Linoleum's long life span makes it a cost-effective
flooring option.
One of the "Greenest" Floors
Environmentally preferred
linoleum is made of abundantly available, renewable natural materials.
Considerations
Difficult to Install
Requires Specific Maintenance
Can be damaged by high pH
cleaners such as ammonia. Must be polished.
"Drying Room Film" and Odor
New
linoleum has a yellow cast and a harmless odor; both of which dissipate when exposed to light and air.
