Marmoleum is a type of linoleum flooring that Portland Flooring & Carpet, serving Portland, Oregon is proud to offer. In Portland, Marmoleum is an extremely popular choice for Portland homeowners concerned with durability and being eco-friendly. Marmoleum is eco-friendly flooring because of what it is made of. Marmoleum is made primarily from the all natural ingredients of wood flour, linseed oil, Resin, jute and ground natural limestone. In addition to its ingredients, Marmoleum is “green” because of its durability. Commonly called the “40 year floor,” Marmoleum is very durable. Marmoleum, along with bamboo, is one of our most in-demand types of green flooring.
As a type of the old style linoleum, as stated earlier Marmoleum is made of limestone, cork dust, recycled wood flooring, and linseed oil. These natural materials are truly what makes the floor so eco-friendly.
High quality Marmoleum floors are extremely durable because of how they are created. These floors are created by joining and inlaying solid pieces of linoleum and are known as “inlaid.” Alternatively, we can provide more affordable patterned Marmoleums. These are equally eco-friendly but are manufactured differently.
Marmoleum is also naturally anti-static and anti-bacterial. In Portland, Marmoleum floors are more easily kept clean than other types of flooring. Specifically, antimicrobial substances kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms like bacteria. As a result, Marmoleum floors are kid-friendly. Fewer bacteria on your floor is always a good thing, especially for kids. Similarly, in Portland Marmoleum floors are ideal for allergies and respiratory disorders. Because Marmoleum floors are anti-bacterial, the floor is unlikely to collect substances that may affect people with these health factors. Beyond that, because Marmoleum is anti-static flooring, unlike carpet, children – or anyone – can run around on Marmoleum flooring without having to worry about getting shocked.
Further, Marmoleum comes in a wide array of colors. Portland Flooring & Carpet can provide you with varying Marmoleum colors, from bright greens to neutral colors. Checkerboards, stripes, and much more can be integrated into your home for stunning visual effect.
In Portland, Marmoleum flooring is also a great fit for bathrooms and kitchen, primarily because it is anti-bacterial. The benefit here is that mold won’t grow and germs won’t spread in your kitchen.
In addition to the sheet product sold by the yard, Marmoleum is available as 13″x13″ or 20″x20″ glue-down tiles or as a click product allowing easy, adhesive-free installation over a variety of subfloors. For the tiles, the linoleum is adhered to a polyester backing. The click product consists of linoleum over a layer of high-density fiberboard (HDF) with a cork underlayment.
