Common Marmoleum misconceptions
As both Linoleum and Marmoleum have been around for many years, there are lots of misconceptions surrounding their characteristics, some true and some false.
Whilst there may be Marmoleum still performing to a high standard today, which was in fact installed 25 years ago, this product must not be compared to modern day Marmoleum. In recent years, Marmoleum has gone through many product innovations which have drastically increased its performance and led to it being one of the most reliable and best performing resilient floor coverings on the market (whilst also being one of the most sustainable!). Innovations in surface treatment and linoleum technology mean that Marmoleum today is amongst the best scratch, stain and water-resistant flooring products in the market.
Below are some of the most common misconceptions:
Occupancy ready, no need to apply a polymer after installation or annualy.
Seamless look, no need to add a welding rod outside areas where regulations demand it.
Excessive water use is no problem with a watertight installation, even in case of intensive use.
No risk of mold growth when correctly installed.
