What is Marmoleum Flooring?
First off, let’s get some definitions out of the way. What exactly is Marmoleum flooring?
Marmoleum flooring is a kind of linoleum. But it’s not just any old linoleum — Marmoleum flooring is marbleized linoleum.
While many types of vinyl flooring are derived from synthetic materials, Marmoleum is an all-natural exception. Marmoleum flooring is made without the usage of harmful, toxic chemicals that have a negative impact on health as well as the environment.
If you are turned off by the idea of linoleum flooring in your home, never fear. Marmoleum flooring is highly versatile and doesn’t have to mimic the look of linoleum at all. You can find Marmoleum floors in every color imaginable — minimizing that “linoleum look” that some homeowners dislike.
Here are some of the aesthetic, natural materials that Marmoleum floors are made from:
- Limestone
- Wood flour
- Natural mineral pigments
- Jute
- Linseed oil
- Tree rosin

The benefits of Marmoleum flooring are expansive. Here are just a few that win the hearts of homeowners:
