THE LINO IN A PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENT

Traffic and stain resistance, sustainability, acoustic comfort, naturally antibacterial... all reasons that make linoleum floor coverings perfectly suited for application in the workplace and in many sectors such as education, healthcare... Added to this a wide choice of color and trend, linoleum will also be present in hotels and leisure spaces. With modular formats in tiles and tiles, linoleum also finds its place in retail and retail.

Lino: a natural material with an unparalleled design

Composed of 97% natural and renewable raw materials, linoleum is a real added value in any indoor environment regardless of the sector of activity. Thanks to the use of rapidly renewable raw materials and its properties in terms of resistance and sustainability, linoleum proves to be the ideal candidate for the floors of any environmentally conscious project or building.
This position is all the more legitimate when we evoke the coloristic and design scope of the linoleum Marmoleum ranges.

Authentic marbled for traditional atmospheres (Marmoleum marbled ), concrete or slate effects for resolutely trendy universes (Marmoleum solid ), lines with a wood spirit for warm atmospheres (Marmoleum striato), linoleum has been constantly reinventing itself for decades to satisfy all desires, all spaces and market segments. Colorful trends embellishing healthcare or teaching spaces, neutral tones and material effects for more chic spaces in hospitality or retail, up to the traditional marbled effects for museums with an authentic spirit, the possibilities are multiple... and natural!

Linoleum floors: versatility above all!

Add to this, the performance of linoleum floors in terms of indoor air climate will only underline the natural dimension of this coating. Indeed, the requirements of the air quality standard determine maximum emission values of 10 volatile components.
To achieve the maximum A+ rating, each of these indoor pollutants must remain below its own threshold. In addition, the total of 1000 µg/m³ released must not be exceeded for all of them. Linoleums are well below the bar with less than 50 µg/m³ (60 µg/m³ for Marmoleum decibel) for healthy environments essential to all market segments.
