Marmoleum: The organic, sustainable flooring option you haven't heard of

Posted by Leafy Green on September 24, 2007 1:41 PM Filed Under: Home

Marmoleum is a natural product made from linseed oil, woodflour, piner rosin, jute and limestone and is an eco-friendly flooring option for your next home renovation project.  Marmoleum is manufactured by Forbo, a world-leader in sustainable business practices and building products. 

Here is how Forbo describes the environmental benefits of their product:

Linseed oil from specially cultivated Canadian flax. Wood flour from European trees. Rosin tapped from Portuguese pine trees. Jute from India and Bangladesh. And very finely ground limestone. All Marmoleum floors are natural Forbo Flooring products. Made from materials abundant in nature and produced according to an environment-friendly procedure. Once installed, Marmoleum is hygienic and anti-static, as well as being fully biodegradable after 25 to 40 years’ use. In this way the product eventually gives its materials back to nature. Forbo Flooring therefore has an Environmental Hallmark, an independent and reliable approval for consumer products.

Forbo Marmoleum is available at Home Depot and better home improvement stores everywhere.

Leafy Green's Tip of the Day Pressure cookers use 50 - 75% less energy than cooking in a normal saucepan, plus they cook food faster! Pressure cookers used to be really popular in the 70's and 80's for their convenience, but were quickly replaced by the microwave. Maybe it's time to bring this ultra-efficient cooking method back into fashion?
