Linoleum Installation

Many manufacturers now use the terms “resilient flooring,” “bio-based flooring,” or “natural flooring” to describe linoleum and similar materials. Traditional linoleum is still available—it’s simply evolved to reflect modern designs and improved production methods. Modern linoleum floor installation still provides the same natural durability and low-maintenance benefits that made it popular decades ago.

Linoleum is made from natural materials, while vinyl is synthetic. If you’re comparing both options, check out our expert guide on vinyl flooring and this in-depth look at the pros and cons of different flooring types. Here’s a simple breakdown:

Linoleum:

• Crafted from renewable resources like linseed oil, cork dust, and wood flour.
• Biodegradable, durable, and color-consistent throughout the material.

Vinyl:

• Made from PVC and other plastics.
• More water-resistant and budget-friendly than linoleum, but not biodegradable.
