Forbo ‘Marmoleum’ 2.5mm
linoleum sheet flooring, recycled content
‘Marmoleum is the material of choice for many architects and interior designers. This natural, extremely durable floor covering has become almost synonymous with the optimal solution for hospitals, schools, offices, government buildings and utilities.
Strong in design and colour
With Marmoleum global 2 we have highlighted and enriched the specific characteristics of the design ranges that made the Marmoleum global 2 collection such a success and added a new one, which we call Piano.
New Topshield finish
This innovative, water-based finish is the biggest breakthrough in linoleum in many years. Topshield considerably reduces the need for cleaning and maintenance, ensuring lower costs and a better appearance.
Complete in linoleum
Marmoleum global 2 also offers a choice of special products such as contact sound-reducing Marmoleum acoustic & Marmoleum decibel and Marmoleum ohmex with its enhanced electrical properties. And, in addition to the standard sheet material, the collection offers a wide choice of tiles from the Dual range. The complete Marmoleum real, dual and vivace ranges are available in the unique multicoloured welding rod.’
