Linoleum Flooring

Linoleum, sometimes referred to as Lino, is a practical flooring solution made up of natural materials including linseed oil, pine rosin, flax, jute, and wood flour, making it cheap, hardwearing, and sustainable.

Highly durable
The days of old-school Lino curling at the corners and ripping are gone. Modern Linoleum is perfect for areas with high foot traffic, as it’s high-tech compound is resistant against tears, scratches and stains. Even in high foot traffic areas, quality commercial Linoleum is designed to last for decades, often outlasting much more expensive commercial flooring types.

Low maintenance and easy to clean
Linoleum is a popular choice for areas that require a particularly clean environment, such as hospitals, dental practices, and gyms. It’s soft surface makes it easy to sweep, vacuum and mop, and the materials used are suitable for most anti-bacterial cleaning solutions.

Versatile and stylish
Linoleum can be manufactured to suit virtually any environment, with a wide range of colours and designs, and a material that can be cut to fit awkward areas.

Slip Resistant
Another reason that Linoleum is commonly used in gyms, hospitals, and other public places is that it’s highly slip resistant. This not only protects your company against accidents, but it can be a practical solution for areas with intense foot traffic, such as a gym or sports hall.

Sustainable
Linoleum is made from entirely natural materials, and is one of the most sustainable flooring types available, being long-lasting, low maintenance, recyclable and biodegradable.

Cost-Effective
Not only does the low maintenance and high durability add to the cost-effectiveness of Linoleum, but being similarly priced to Vinyl, Linoleum is typically cheaper than other flooring material such as wood or stone.

Sheet Linoleum
This is the most common type of Linoleum flooring, typically coming in large rolls, and available in a wide range of colours and designs to suit your environment. As with all types of Linoleum, sheet linoleum is cost-effective, flexible and easy to install, usually using a super strong adhesive to glue down.

Tile Linoleum
Linoleum Tiles may be manufactured as separate pieces, but they look seamless once installed. Tiles share the same characteristics as sheet linoleum, and they can be a particularly practical option as you can replace the individual tiles for reduced maintenance in the future.

Click-in Linoleum
This type of Linoleum can be installed without the need for glue or adhesive, and is perfect for temporary flooring, due to it’s fast installation and low cost.

Linoleum offers a practical, cost-effective, and hard-wearing solution for the education sector. Alongside this, Linoleum has excellent sound-proofing properties, making it great for providing a focused environment. As mentioned previously, excellent slip resistance is also a benefit that holds true in preventing accidents within a school environment.

Linoleum is perfect for any space with heavy foot traffic, but within a retail environment it really comes into it’s own, being incredibly easy to clean, hard-wearing, and with a range of colours to match the branding and interior design.
