Why Forbo flooring

  • Marmoleum natural linoleum — The original natural-material flooring made from linseed oil, wood flour, jute, and limestone. Naturally biodegradable, antimicrobial, and recognized for galleries, museums, and architect-spec residential.
  • Commercial-grade durability — Forbo is widely specified for healthcare, education, retail, and hospitality where strict slip-resistance and chemical-resistance standards apply.
  • Sustainability leadership — Marmoleum is carbon-negative from manufacture; Forbo carries Cradle-to-Cradle, BREEAM, and LEED certifications across multiple product lines.

Forbo purchasing concerns — solved

  • "Marmoleum vs vinyl?" Marmoleum is natural linoleum — biodegradable, antimicrobial, made from natural materials. Vinyl is synthetic PVC — lower cost, full waterproofing, broader design range. Choose Marmoleum for sustainability/design statement; vinyl for everyday durability.
  • "Is Marmoleum waterproof?" Marmoleum is water-resistant, not fully waterproof at seams. Forbo Allura (commercial vinyl) is fully waterproof. Choose Allura for bathrooms.
  • "Forbo for residential vs commercial?" Marmoleum Click is the residential-friendly DIY format. Marmoleum Sheet is the commercial format requiring professional install.
  • "Best Forbo for high-traffic?" Forbo Allura LVT with 28+ mil wear layer or homogeneous vinyl sheet — commercial-grade durability.
  • "Delivery and samples?" Free samples Canada-wide in 2–3 business days via national freight. Free shipping on orders 1,000+ sq ft.
