Ideal for combining with a painted wall or an accent colour for your floor to create a powerful accent in your design.

The primary ingredients in Marmoleum include:

• Linseed oil, which is extracted from the seeds of the flax plant
• Wood flour, which is sourced from forests under sustainable management
• Jute, a natural material used as a backing for linoleum

Marmoleum is recognised with significant environmental certifications such as the Swan Label and Blue Angel.

The surface of Marmoleum products is protected by “Topshield”, Forbo’s advanced UV-protective finish. This finish ensures that the flooring is resistant to damage such as stains and scratches as well as easy to keep clean and maintain over time, which contributes to its lasting beauty.

Maintenance

of Marmoleum floors Forbo’s flooring is designed to meet the strict requirements placed on floors in both domestic and public environments, where they must withstand heavy wear whilst maintaining an attractive appearance. Maintenance and cleaning play a crucial role in preserving the appearance and function of your floors over time. The cleaning method, frequency and products used should be adapted to the specific conditions to which your floor is exposed.

Installation

Installation is straightforward, however it is essential that the flooring is installed correctly to ensure the best possible result. Follow our installation guides carefully.

For a successful installation, focus on the following key areas: Preparing the subfloor A correct installation starts with a subfloor that is dry, firm and level. Forbo’s QuickFit system is a wood fibre-based solution that can be installed quickly without the need for nails or adhesive, suitable for smaller areas and places where extra sound insulation is desired.

Planning the installation Draw up a thorough plan before installation begins. Ensure that the room, materials and subfloor have a temperature of at least 17 degrees Celsius and that the materials have had time to acclimatise, preferably overnight, before work begins.

Cutting and fitting A well-executed start is vital: in particular, the first strip should be laid with care. Use professional tools to ensure the best result.

Adhesion Correct adhesion is necessary for a perfect end result. After laying, the floor should be rolled to ensure a strong adhesive bond. Always follow the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Make sure to ventilate the room after installation to allow the adhesive to dry properly. Avoid putting weight on the floor before the adhesive is completely dry, which can take up to two days.

Welding Welding can be carried out both for aesthetic reasons and to ease cleaning. After the adhesive has cured, normally after one day, the welding rod can be applied. It is important to follow the installation instructions and the instructions on the welding rod packaging carefully. You can find welding rod here
