Forbo Marmoleum Concrete Sheet

Forbo Concrete, Marmoleum Sheet

Sustainable & durable flooring, High performance created by nature
97% natural raw materials
72% rapidly renewable
43% recycled content
Created from natural, renewable materials, Marmoleum flooring is the most sustainable resilient flooring available. It contains no phthalates, no plasticisers and no mineral oil. The key raw materials used in the Marmoleum production include: 
● linseed oil, which comes from the flax plant seeds
● wood flour from controlled forests and 
● jute, the natural backing onto which the linoleum is calandered. 
Marmoleum has been measured against all of the important sustainable global eco labels like e.g. Nordic Swan and the Blue Angel.
Topshield2 is Forbo Floorings' high performance UV-finish which is applied to all Marmoleum floor coverings. Topshield2 prevents staining, scuffing and scratching for lasting appearance retention and provides for easy cleaning and maintenance at lower intervals.

Dry Room Yellowing:
While marmoleum is maturing in the drying stoves, a yellow cast, termed "Drying Room Yellowing", may appear on the surface. This TEMPORARY yellow cast, caused by oxidation of linseed oil, occurs intermittently and with varying intensity. Drying Room Yellowing is most noticeable on the lighter shades, when exposed to light, the drying room yellowing will disappear.
