Choosing points
- Best for schools, healthcare, and public facilities where a calm natural-leaning floor is wanted.
- It has a matte, through-body color rather than a printed vinyl look.
- Seams and welding rods are visible.
- It can develop a warm amber cast during curing and aging.
How it ages
- Moisture below, strong alkali, poor maintenance, and sharp loads can stain or damage it.
What to avoid
- Do not use linoleum where water can sit at seams or the concrete slab is highly alkaline. It needs the adhesive and substrate conditions recommended by the manufacturer.
