What is linoleum flooring and how is it made?
Linoleum flooring (also known as resilient flooring) is made by oxidizing linseed oil which is then mixed with fine plant materials such as ground cork, pine resin, and wood flour. This is laid on top of a jute fiber backing. It is sold in large rolls or in a tile form and comes in an array of vivid colors and designs. It can be cut to create beautiful custom patterns and is known to be a sturdy alternative to hardwood, stone, or tile flooring.
