Forbo Marmoleum Flooring

Forbo natural flooring product has been featured and discussed on AT before, but we'd like to focus on the design (color!) components as much as the green ones. The linseed oil, wood flour, rosin, and jute product offers a healthy design solution in lieu of linoleum, and is customizable in shape, pattern, size (as tiles or sheets) and colors. Here are some of the most interesting examples we spotted:

We're about to install marmoleum click in our kitchen and 'mud room' - but only in one, boring colour! I'm not brave enough, but some of these look great.

I wish their stuff had a more striated pattern like traditional linoleum :-/

Be warned that marmoleum click is not as easy to install as the name makes it sound. We could not, after much prolonged effort, get it to click on both sides, so there are some gaps between the squares. The dealer who sold us the tile was of no help whatsoever. If I was going to use it again, I'd get it professionally installed.

those floors are gorgeous - especially the square blocks in the different colors!

Someone on this blog pointed out before that flooring companies sure do know how to style a room. Must be something in the water they serve at conventions.

haha! At work we use this stuff for wall panels in fast food restaurants. The factory guys hate dealing with it because it is so damn heavy.
