about linoleum

Linoleum flooring had its heyday before World War II, but is steadily mounting a comeback. Gone are the dreary, drab shades linoleum was known for more than a century ago. Today's linoleum is bright, vibrant and long–lasting. It's a popular choice for both older home renovation, for those who want to maintain the look of the original flooring, and newer home decoration. Its all–natural composition also grabs the attention of floor buyers who are interested in eco–friendly flooring. If you desire flooring that's great for the environment, perhaps it's time to take another look at linoleum.

What is Linoleum?

If you've spent any time researching linoleum flooring, you have probably discovered that linoleum is sometimes referred to as vinyl (and vice versa). Although vinyl and linoleum share similar traits, they do have qualities that set them apart.

Linoleum and vinyl flooring come in a wide variety of colors and patterns, providing an impressive range of design choices that can even mimic other flooring types such as tile or marble. It's also possible to find linoleum and vinyl floors that look alike, another reason they're sometimes mistaken for each other. Both are tough (although linoleum isn't as durable unless specially coated), economically priced, easy to maintain and last for decades with proper installation and care.
