Professional Laminate and Vinyl Flooring Contractors in Lancing

Introduction Linoleum flooring, sometimes referred to as “lino”, is making a comeback in the world of flooring thanks to its blend of durability and environmental-friendliness. Invented over 150 years ago by Frederick Walton, linoleum experienced a period of declining popularity before its recent resurgence. This article will explore the advantages, disadvantages and maintenance of linoleum, so you can decide whether or not this flooring is suitable for you and your space.   Advantages of Linoleum - Environmentally-Friendly: Linoleum is a natural flooring made from renewable materials, such as linseed oil, wood flour, cork dust and fillers like limestone. These ingredients are mixed with natural dyes to add colour variation and then pressed onto a jute backing. The entire manufacturing process of linoleum is environmentally-friendly and produces very little waste. Also, when your linoleum is at the end of its lifespan, you will be glad to know that the entire floor is bio-degradable. - Durability: The top surface of linoleum (made from oil, wood, cork and limestone) hardens and cures over time creating an incredibly durable top layer. This robust surface can handle heavy footfall in both residential and commercial spaces. - Water-Resistance: Linoleum is a water-resistant flooring meaning that it is not affected by splashes and spills as long as they are cleaned up in a timely manner. #Lino #LinoleumFlooring...
