Linoleum
Natural, hard-wearing and easy to maintain, linoleum is as much at home in private houses as it is in professional spaces.
Lino, a naturally different floor
The word “lino” is often used to describe all kinds of resilient flooring. Yet genuine linoleum is a very specific product: a floor covering made mainly from raw materials of natural and renewable origin.
Made from linseed oil, wood flour, resins and mineral fillers among other things, and applied to a jute backing, linoleum is robust and durable. It has long been used in schools, hospitals and public buildings, but its current colours and designs also make it an attractive floor covering for the home.
With Marmoleum, Forbo offers a particularly extensive range of linoleum floor coverings, with numerous solutions for residential and professional projects alike.
Marmoleum comes in sheets, tiles and planks, in a wide variety of colours, textures and patterns. Depending on the collection, different installation methods are possible, including glued and click installation.

Colours, textures & formats
The iconic look of linoleum: a more or less pronounced marbled pattern, available in a wide palette of colours.
Calmer, less marbled patterns, ranging from almost plain surfaces to effects inspired by concrete and natural materials.
Marmoleum Linear stands out from classic linoleum thanks to its linear structure. Its abstract pattern can be reminiscent of the natural lines of wood and gives the floor a contemporary, warm look.
Marmoleum Modular combines the qualities of linoleum with the creative freedom of tiles and planks. The various formats, colours and patterns can be combined to create personalised floors, whether understated or more graphic.
Linoleum is not limited to floors. Furniture Linoleum can be used to cover furniture, doors and other surfaces with a matt finish that is soft and warm to the touch.
Goes particularly well with wood, stone and other natural materials
Bulletin Board turns linoleum into a practical and decorative pinboard surface. Fixed directly to the wall or set in a frame, it lets you pin up notes, photos and ideas while adding colour to the room. An attractive solution for offices, meeting rooms, schools or private spaces.
