Natural raw materials Linoleum is produced from renewable materials: linseed oil, rosins, wood flour, jute and ecologically responsible pigments. The harvesting or extraction of these raw materials consumes relatively little energy.
Linseed oil - which is obtained by pressing the seeds of the flax plant, is linoleum’s most important raw material (and the origin of its name). Throughout the years, linseed oil has been used for many purposes, ranging from cooking to providing quick relief to people suffering from a cold.
Rosin - which is tapped from pine trees using a method that does not harm their growth, provides the binding agent for linoleum. Together with the linseed oil, rosin gives linoleum its unique combination of strength and flexibility.
Wood flour is used because it has the unique characteristic of being able to bind with the pigments. This gives our linoleum products their beautiful colours and ensures their long-term colour-fastness.
Cork flour is the ground bark of the cork oak. We source ours from plantations in Mediterranean countries. The bark is peeled every seven to ten years without damaging either the lifespan or the health of the tree. Cork flour is used as a raw material in Bulletin Board and Corklinoleum.
Limestone is found all over the world in enormous quantities. In its very finely ground form, it is an important raw material for linoleum.
The vibrant, beautiful colours of our linoleum are created by using ecologically responsible organic pigments. The pigments used in our products do not contain heavy metals (such as lead or cadmium) or other harmful substances, and do not pose a threat to the environment.
Jute, which is spun from the fibres of jute plants in India and Bangladesh, is the preferred backing of our products because of its natural origins. Not only is there an abundant, renewable supply of jute, but it also provides critical export opportunities for these developing economies.
Installation In order to get a perfect floor it is important to pay attention to a proper installation of the floor covering. We offer an assortment of high quality installation products , which helps you obtaining the desired result. Key factors in the installation of a floor are: Sub floor preparation The installation of a resilient Forbo floor starts with the sub floor, which must be dry, rigid and smooth. Egaline and MDF boards are both perfect systems for levelling sub floors. The sub floor is sanded and vacuumed and, if insulation is required, two thin layers of sealant are applied. Installation plan It’s important to make a good plan before beginning an installation. Rooms, materials and sub floors must have a minimal temperature of 17 degrees Celsius (63 degrees Fahrenheit). Allow the materials to acclimatise for at least one night before installation. We offer specially designed tools for transportation and unrolling. Scribing And Cutting A good start makes all the difference: pay extra attention to the first sheet of floor covering! A set of professional tools contributes to a perfect result. Adhering A perfectly installed floor requires perfect adhesion. Elastocol is recommended for adhering linoleum floorings to the sub floor. The seams can also be made to fit using a trimmer . Lay the sheet onto the wet adhesive bed and press it firmly into place, the sheet end in particular. If prescribed, use a roller to roll the surface, first width wise, then lengthwise. Remove any excess adhesive. After installation, make sure that the room will be ventilated in order to allow the adhesive to dry. It is preferable not to use or load a freshly installed floor until the adhesive has set thoroughly, which in normal conditions takes two days. Welding Welding is done for decorative and/or hygienic reasons. After the adhesive has set, which usually takes a day; the floor can be welded with a recommended welding system.
