subject: Advantages Of Linoleum Flooring [print this page]


Linoleum has been a popular type of flooring in the mid-1950s in homes and businesses. Although vinyl has become more of the selected choice in present day, the affordable linoleum is still being used as it has a lot of advantages.

First of all, linoleum is a natural product that is biodegradable, thus, is gaining favor those who are environmental conscious. It is made out of rosin, linseed oil, limestone, and dust of corks or wood, and can easily be colored. Installation is not difficult as you can use adhesive glue and the tiles or sheets will stick well.

Apart from that, there are a vast range of designs nowadays as compared to years ago, when the colors and patterns were limited. It is easily managed and can be cut up so that you can make your very own unique design of flooring. At the same time, linoleum is a comfortable choice of flooring, which would be suitable for high traffic areas like the living room or kitchen. It is also water resistant so it can be used in any rooms with high moisture levels like the bathroom and kitchen.

Another great thing about linoleum is that it does not create static electricity. You could use linoleum in Brooklyn commercial buildings and notice how well it suits such buildings. If something were to drop onto the flooring and create a small dent, it will be able to heal itself by expanding and stretching itself to its original condition. However, this does not apply to big damaged areas, which would require it to be fixed or replaced instead.

Despite its original use for flooring, linoleum can also be used for other purposes such as countertops, tabletops or even the laundry room area. It suits almost anywhere as it is water resistant, durable, heat resistant, and also very easy to work with. Whether you use linoleum in Brooklyn or anywhere else, it will go well just about anywhere.
