Unlike vinyl, which is made of chemical compounds, Linoleum flooring rolls and tiles are made of such natural materials as recycled wood flour, cork, linseed oil, tree resins and mineral oil. The colors used in Linoleum are applied all the way through the material, not just to the surface, so if there is a scratch or a gouge, it can be polished or diminished.
Warehouse Direct Flooring gives you professional Linoleum installation and superior service for any room in your home. As one of the leaders in flooring, you'll find some of the lowest costs for both sales and service. This isn't the old Linoleum you may be familiar with, the modern designs of today will delight you, and you'll find one that compliments the style and décor of your home. Please visit our portfolio page to see some of the many types of flooring designs and installation we've done.
You may think that Linoleum is a relatively new development, but the truth is that it was actually patented in the 1860's. It has a rich history as a luxury flooring material, and was used extensively on the floors of the Titanic. Less expensive vinyl flooring became more popular in the 1940's, when inexpensive and durable flooring was all in vogue, but Linoleum is still considered a premium floor covering when compared to vinyl.
The two major manufacturers are Forbo, which produces Marmoleum, and Armstrong which makes Marmorette. Each of these makers produce Linoleum, using the same formulaic system and techniques, as it was originally made.
Tiles or Rolls?
Much like vinyl, Linoleum also comes in tiles that have a self stick backing. However, they may be a bit trickier to install because unlike vinyl tiles, which are flexible and provide a little "give," Linoleum tiles are stiffer and need to be placed into position with more care and precision.
We do not sell peel and stick tiles because they are well known for failing. We have tiles that are applied with a full spread glue down method as well and Marmoleum Click which is product that has a linoleum surface and a laminate style core and install similar to laminate. It's always best to check on Linoleum flooring installation cost before attempting to do it yourself to save money.
Linoleum also comes in Linoleum flooring rolls which makes cutting and installation by a professional a much more viable method, and it is recommended by Linoleum manufacturers.
Because it is softer than vinyl, it is the preferred floor overing in commercial settings, but also kitchens, entry ways and bathrooms would be ideal places for a Linoleum flooring installation.
