Lino Flooring

Lino flooring, also known as linoleum flooring, is a type of resilient flooring made from natural materials. It has been used as a flooring option for many years and has gained popularity due to its durability and environmentally friendly composition.

Here are some key characteristics and features of lino flooring:

Material: Linoleum is primarily made from natural ingredients, including linseed oil, wood flour, cork dust, limestone, and pigments. These materials are compressed and heated to create sheets or tiles.

Durability: Lino flooring is known for its durability and resilience. It can withstand heavy foot traffic and is resistant to scratches, scuffs, and stains.

Eco-Friendly: Linoleum is considered an environmentally friendly flooring option. It is made from renewable resources and doesn't contain harmful chemicals or toxins. Linseed oil, a major component of lino flooring, is derived from flax seeds.

Variety of Colors and Patterns: Lino flooring is available in a wide range of colors, patterns, and designs. This allows for creativity and customization in interior design.

Easy to Maintain: Linoleum flooring is relatively easy to clean and maintain. Regular sweeping or vacuuming, followed by damp mopping with a mild cleanser, is usually sufficient for routine cleaning.

Installation Options: Lino flooring can be installed in two main ways: sheet linoleum and linoleum tiles. Sheet linoleum comes in large rolls, while linoleum tiles are pre-cut squares or planks. Both options offer flexibility in installation.

It's worth mentioning that lino flooring should not be confused with vinyl flooring, which is a synthetic material. While they share some similarities, such as durability and ease of maintenance, linoleum is a more sustainable and natural option.
