Where's Linoleum?
The sheet
flooring you see in stores these days is actually vinyl.
Linoleum has not been preferred because it is heavy; it can
only be made in 6' foot rolls and it is relatively difficult
to install. The new lighter vinyl flooring comes in long rolls,
is more versatile than lino, and easier to install. This has
definite appeal to the do-it-yourself attitude of many homeowners.
But don't give up on linoleum quite yet! Armstrong has a new
factory in Germany, which is creating a new line of beautiful
linoleum! This flooring made its debut in 2004.
Its appeal is its environmentally friendly nature. As a green
building product, Armstrong linoleum is made from sustainable
raw materials. The company is increasingly applying procedures
at all levels to achieve benefits
for the environment that go beyond the conditions laid
down by statutory requirements
By the way, although linoleum requires the most qualified
install mechanics. We are proud to say that many of our
experienced installers can lay linoleum floors. We look
forward to its return to the general market.
