Trivia – but not Trivial

September 19th, 2008

Did you know?

 

Some facts about a popular ‘green’ flooring, marmoleum, pulled from the net –

 

Linoleum is made of linseed oil, jute, wood, cork and rosin.

Vinyl flooring is made from a petroleum product, polyvinyl chloride, which releases cancer causing dioxins during production.

Linoleum has a life span of 30 to 40 years in contrast to vinyl’s 10 to 20 years.

 

Marmoleum is  a linoleum flooring.

 

I also came across some conflicting information about linoleum/marmoleum and landfills.  One source said it would  break down in a landfill, a second source said it would not.  A second piece of coflicting information was that it has no odor while another said it did. 

 

Please do your due diligence before choosing marmoleum or any type of flooring.
