Ten frequently asked questions about the linoleum floor will help you understand this covering, which is also used on our raised access floor.
1. Why is linoleum floor environmentally friendly and green?
Flax oil environmentally friendly flooring is made of pure natural renewable raw materials. Its ingredients are flax oil, rosin, wood powder, natural mineral pigments, limestone, and jute backing. The manufacture of flax oil flooring is a purely physical production process, and it realizes the whole process of green environmental protection from raw material collection, and production to material disposal after use. It is the preferred material for sustainable construction.
2. Is linoleum floor durable?
There are many engineering cases of flax oil environmentally friendly flooring in the world. It is widely used in medical, educational, office, and public buildings. In Europe, there are many projects with flax oil flooring used for more than 50 years. In China, the flax oil flooring used in the library of Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated with Dalian University has a history of 100 years. Due to the homogeneous and permeable structure of flax oil flooring and the characteristics of natural raw materials, it has better anti-aging performance than polymer synthetic PVC flooring and rubber flooring. At the same time, due to the natural antioxidant properties of flax oil flooring, the surface will become more and more wear-resistant over time.
3. Why is the linoleum floor easy to break?
linoleum floor is made of pure natural raw materials through mixing, pressing, drying, and other logistics production processes. It does not contain any plasticizers (plasticizers) or vulcanizers. Therefore, compared with those chemical synthetic products, it is easy to break the linoleum floor with shear force on both sides. However, in actual use, the floor is laid on the ground. At this time, it is subjected to positive pressure rather than shear force on both sides. Therefore, it is impossible to break the linoleum floor during normal use when laid on the ground.
4. Is the linoleum floor waterproof?
The surface of the linoleum floor is waterproof and will not leak like the PVC floor. However, whether it is a linoleum floor, PVC floor, or rubber floor, there are certain requirements for the moisture content of the base layer. If the floor is not installed to meet the requirements, it will cause the floor to bubble, degumming, and damage. Therefore, the construction base layer is very important.
5. Is the linoleum floor fireproof?
All linseed oil floors are composite fireproof grades, which can reach the B1 level under the Chinese national standard and belong to the flame retardant level. At the same time, the PVC floor and rubber floor with borders do not produce black smoke when burning, and the smoke is non-toxic.
6. Is linoleum floor suitable for people with allergies?
linoleum floor is anti-allergic, it is not easy to get dusty, and it is an ideal floor material choice for people with allergies such as asthma.
7. The linoleum floor has a smell, is this smell harmful to the human body?
linoleum floor has a smell, this smell is harmless to the human body Because linoleum floor is made of purely natural materials, the mixture of linseed oil and rosin in it will emit the smell of natural materials, which is not only completely harmless to the human body but also beneficial. Many people will take linseed oil orally for a long time as a health product.
8. Can linoleum floor be used in floor heating systems?
Linoleum floor is the best floor to be laid on for floor heating. Compared with traditional floors, such as tiles and wooden floors, linoleum floor is more suitable for floor heating systems. Because its material thickness is thinner and its thermal conductivity is higher, it is very suitable for laying on various types of floor heating systems. It is worth mentioning that when linoleum floor is used on geothermal systems since linoleum floor is made of natural raw materials, it will not produce or volatilize any toxic substances.
9. Is the glue used to lay linoleum floors also environmentally friendly?
The glue brand we recommend is the linseed floor glue that matches the linoleum floor, which is an environmentally friendly glue that meets national standards.
10. Does the linoleum floor need maintenance?
linoleum floor, like PVC flooring, rubber flooring, stone, wood flooring, and carpet, requires regular cleaning and maintenance. Any product that has been used for a long time needs maintenance. Maintenance is a necessary means to extend the service life of the product and keep it in the best condition.
