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
Professional installation is highly recommended.
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.
