LIGHT SENSITIVITY

Linoleum is interacting with its environment, especially the light in the area of installation. Due to the linseed oil oxidization process, the flooring will achieve its final color once installed, depending on the light in the areas where it has been laid. We recommend specifiers put samples in direct light a few hours before making a final choice, to get the best idea of the sample's true color.

ÞYellowing effect: Yellowing is a natural process common to all linoleum collections in the market. When deprived of light, the linseed oil (main product component/yellow) is migrating to the surface (oxidization process). This happens after a long period of time (several months). It is a reversible process, as original colors appear again when linoleum is exposed to the light (sunlight or artificial light does not make any difference).

LINSEED OLFACTIVE SIGNATURE

Due to the materials used to manufacture linoleum, especially linseed oil, the flooring has a slight and unique odor. However, this smell will partly disappear when the flooring is glued, the rest decreasing over time (a few weeks). Neocare, the new exclusive surface treatment also encapsulates phenols, greatly reducing this phenomenon from the start.

WATERPROOFNESS

Although linoleum can be installed in a wide variety of areas, we recommend not to lay linoleum in wet or humid rooms (professional kitchens, locker rooms). Due to its composition (jute backing, wood powder), linoleum does not resist standing water. It can however be cleaned with water in normal conditions.
