Linoleum- The New and Improved
It's amazing to think that linoleum first came into production in 1864, nearly 150 years ago! while its certainly had it's ups and downs, from its booming popularity in 1950's to its steady decline in the 80's. it is now entering a new era and steadily gaining popularity once more.
with the new innovative designs and bright longerl asting colours its not hard to see why its becoming a huge favourite of both architects and interior designers.
Linoleum is available in three ranges, by the roll, tiles or "click" (which basically fit together like jigsaw pieces)
Above Linoleum has not only been used as a floor covering but has been extended to the walls and ceilings giving a really interesting perspective to the room. overall there are now endless possibilities when it comes to using linoleum whether it be for your home, business, office or maybe even that boat you've been meaning to refurbish for some time, it really doesn't matter, but I think with linoleum your bound to find something to suit both your taste and needs.

Now don't get me wrong, while companies such as "Forbo" have ironed out a few kinks of the older linoleum versions as well as putting huge emphasis on ensuring that their linoleum is sustainable and ecofriendly they have still maintained those outstanding qualities that made linoleum so popular to being with. while the new and improved linoleum may look a thousand times better and offer a colossal range of colour and design options, it is still ultra hard wearing , still provides excellent acoustics and non slip qualities and of course don't forget linoleum doesn't melt so if some careless guest does decide to stub a cigarette out on the floor , no problem it can simply just be brushed away with no tell tale signs left behind!
