Facility
Today, hot welding with joints is no longer necessary. A new technology has been developed, the adjusted seam, which is just as efficient, water-resistant and hygienic for hospital environments. In addition, the clean seam reduces the costs and time required to install the linoleum floor. The plus? The aesthetics are improved. The seam therefore appears much less than the old method. Transition moldings are still necessary for spaces of 200-250 square feet.
Interview
All Marmoleum floors have Topshield2 protection. This protection prevents everyday stains and damage. This allows the same appearance to be maintained for much longer. However, if damage occurs, it is possible to repair it. Once the scratch is repaired, it is difficult to see it in the linoleum.
