The natural winner

It is the composition of ingredients that makes Marmoleum Sport so unique. It meets all the requirements of an ecologically superior product construction and combines a wealth of positive performance characteristics, the end result of the material composition as such.

Linseed oil obtained from the seeds of the flax plant is the main component of Marmoleum Sport. Together with natural rosin, limestone and woodflour the linoleum substrate is created, which is coloured by adding natural or nature-based colour pigments.

This still flexible substrate is pressed onto a jute woven fabric and then, in large drying chambers, transforms into a tough, durable sports flooring. Using green energy, the production process of Marmoleum Sport is a very environmentally friendly process.

Marmoleum Sport

Why choose Marmoleum Sport?

Diminish the risk of injuries

Suitable for heavy loads & traffic
Whether it’s handball, basketball, athletics or gymnastics, Marmoleum Sport handles it all. Also driving with heavy loads or transporting weighty exercise equipment cannot harm the linoleum, in combination with the appropriate subfloor. Even festivities like dancing will leave this floor unimpressed: street shoes, cigarettes, drinks, Marmoleum Sport can deal with it.

Flotex

Flotex

Flotex is a unique textile floor covering that combines the hard-wearing and durable characteristics of a resilient floor with the quality, warmth and comfort of a carpet. Flotex is a strong and hygienic floor, and being completely waterproof, it is also the only truly washable textile floor.

The unique construction of Flotex flocked flooring is what allows to release soiling like no other textile flooring. Unlike the looped and twisted fibers of a conventional carpet tile, the smooth straight fibres of Flotex do not trap particles of soil, allowing them to be removed without difficulty during cleaning. Most spills can be cleaned with plain water.

✔ Phthalate free
✔ Prevent the growth of bacteria
