WHAT IS LINOLEUM FLOORING?

When you think of linoleum flooring, you might first think of hospital floors, your elementary school cafeteria, or your grandparent’s retro kitchen, not your home. But if you’re looking for a water-resistant, environmentally friendly, and incredibly long-lasting flooring option, linoleum is a great choice.

So, what exactly is linoleum? It’s aptly named as its main ingredient is linseed oil, which is mixed with other natural ingredients like cork dust, wood flour, pine resin, ground limestone, and pigments, and is pressed onto a woven backing made from jute, a natural plant fiber. Because it is solely made of natural materials, it’s 100% biodegradable.
