Natural linoleum has been a popular choice as a floor covering for over 100 years. It’s made from natural raw materials including linseed oil, rosins and wood flour. Because it's made up of natural materials, the linoleum offers a healthier indoor environment. It has no adverse health issues either during production, use or disposal. The bactericidal properties of natural linoleum stop microorganisms from multiplying, so you often see natural linoleum floors in many hospitals. In addition to the health benefits, the flooring is anti-static, reducing the potential for electric shock. It also makes the floor easier to clean since dust and dirt do not easily adhere to the surface. In this project, natural linoleum was used on the floor in a bathroom.Product Information for Items Used in this Room Makeover:
