Vinyl vs. Linoleum
About nine months ago we went on the search for black and white checkerboard “linoleum”. Through this experience came the suprise that the majority of the products out there are man made vinyls. What happened to the linoleums that I remember being in my Grandparents’ home and why isn’t linoleum readily available? In the quest for more information we stumbled onto Marmoleum. The company making the Marmoleum is using renewable materials such as linseed and jute. In addition no VOC’s are emitted from the adhesives that are used in the installation. These are just a few of the benefits to Marmoleum. The colors that are offered are unbelievable and you can cut designs and inlay them to your hearts content. We opted for vinyl based solely on price and I’ve gotta say we are regretting it in every way.
