Description

True linoleum — not to be confused with vinyl — is one of the oldest and most sustainable floor coverings available. Forbo’s Marmoleum Click brings this heritage material into modern homes with an easy floating-floor installation system.

Why linoleum belongs in a healthy home:

• Natural composition: Made from linseed oil (from flax), rosin (from pine trees), wood flour, limestone, and jute backing. No PVC, no phthalates, no petrochemicals.
• Naturally antibacterial: Linseed oil continues to oxidise throughout the floor’s life, creating a surface that inhibits bacterial growth. Particularly valuable in kitchens and children’s rooms.
• Low emissions: Certified to GREENGUARD Gold standards. Any initial smell (a pleasant, natural scent from the linseed oil) dissipates within weeks.
• Hygienic and easy to clean: Non-porous surface resists dust and allergens. Simple damp mopping maintains the floor.
• Warm underfoot: Unlike tile or stone, linoleum feels naturally warm — no cold shock when you step out of bed.

Individual character:

The ‘Oat’ colourway features subtle marbling — gentle variations in tone that create visual interest without pattern-matching concerns. This natural marbling is inherent to how linoleum is made, with each panel showing slightly different swirls and depths. Your floor tells you it’s real.

Installation:

The Click system requires no adhesive — panels lock together and float over a suitable underlay. DIY-friendly for confident homeowners. Can be installed over most existing hard floors. Suitable for underfloor heating (max 27°C surface temperature).
