Each month, Dovetail Interiors will spotlight one of our eco-friendly flooring collections. Our January spotlight is Marmoleum.
What makes Marmoleum eco-friendly?
Marmoleum eco-flooring is a natural floor covering that’s over 150 years old. Associated with sustainability, durability, high quality and truly innovative design, it’s created from 97% natural raw materials, including flax, linseed, rosin and limestone.
Forbo Flooring Systems, the designers of Marmoleum, boast that it is 72% rapidly renewable and created from 43% recycled content. Not only is it a naturally CO2 neutral floor covering solution, but it contains no phalates, plasticisers or mineral oil.
Marmoleum is an eco-flooring which is also biodegradable, while any offcuts and production waste is recycled back into further Marmoleum products. This ensures optimal raw material utilisation. Burning Marmoleum delivers a higher calorific value and thermal energy, which outweighs the energy used in its production. This ensures a full life-cycle circle!
Their flooring is incredibly versatile in application, colour and design. It can easily be fixed to your floor with low solvent adhesive, in keeping with its sustainable, eco-friendly attributes.
