TRANSPRESS
Marmoleum FR² is a linoleum floor covering made from natural materials. A floor covering associated with sustainability, durability, high quality and innovative design. Created using a high percentage of natural raw materials, with renewable and recycled content
CO₂ neutral floor
Forbo’s Marmoleum FR² has been independently confirmed as CO₂ neutral floor coverings in the cradle to gate phase of the product’s life cycle, without the need for offsetting.
In simple terms, the CO₂ produced in the extraction, transportation and manufacturing process of Marmoleum FR² is balanced by the removal of CO₂ through the growing of its natural ingredients such as flax, jute and rosin.
Bacteriostatic qualities
In addition to its sustainability credentials, independent testing by the University of Glasgow (UK), has proven that Marmoleum has a unique suitability for a diverse range of environments where hygiene and the control of bacteria are important. Marmoleum FR²’s ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria stems from the natural raw materials that go into its production, namely linseed oil. The bacteriostatic qualities of Marmoleum FR² are an inherent property of the product and won't diminish over time, providing peace of mind and constant protection from the moment it is installed.
A double layer, UV-cured finish
To ensure long lasting appearance retention and ease of maintenance, all Marmoleum FR² floor coverings include Topshield Pro, a double layer, UV-cured finish that is scratch and scuff resistant. With its natural bacteriostatic properties and resistance to chemicals, it is the ideal solution for heavy traffic rail vehicles.

Awarded the prestigious Allergy UK Seal of Approval as, with the correct cleaning and maintenance regime, it won't harbour dust mites, contributing to a better indoor environment for all.
