Marmoleum brings a touch of nature in our daily lives and reinforces our connection to the environment.
Marmoleum connects with modern nature through climate positive flooring and contributes to each and everyone’s well-being on many levels. An endless source of inspiration, from the natural materials we use to the colours and designs we offer. Together with nature, we have designed floors that form the foundation of comfortable and healthy spaces, where people can happily move, work, learn, heal, play and relax.
We have the flooring solution for any interior in terms of visual and colour. From the trendy muted designs in a natural colour palette from our Solid collection, to the lively marbled colours from the Marbled collection that stand out and ensure that all spaces become eye catchers and the warm linear visuals from the Linear collection that create a comfortable and homely feel.
The Marmoleum Modular collection with linoleum tiles and planks in various designs and sizes gives you all freedom to create stunning floor designs. Our Marmoleum CinchLoc tiles and planks have a special tongue & groove locking system, making your floor fun to design and easy to install.
Our extensive Marmoleum range also offers acoustic, conductive and sports flooring.
With our Bulletin Board linoleum pinboards you can create a decorative element that offers a practical solution to collect and exchange thoughts and ideas.
Furniture Linoleum is a unique surfacing material for furniture applications. The material is naturally flexible and can be applied to all types of furniture.
We invite you to create sustainable spaces that have a positive impact on everyone and everything.
We made it our mission to design and offer products that contribute in a positive way to the health and comfort of the individual by bringing nature in.
In a world where we spend on average 85% of our time indoors, it only feels natural to give full focus on improving the quality of our indoor environment. Marmoleum fits into biophilia designs for schools, healthcare institutions, workplaces, leisure centres and living spaces by creating the opportunity to bring the best from nature to our indoor surroundings.
Marmoleum contributes to each and everyone's well-being on many levels.
Marmoleum is designed to contribute to a safe, hygienic and comfortable environment. The floors are easy to clean, bacteriostatic, have antiviral properties and are allergy approved. Its tactility and beautiful colours influence all your senses. Thanks to its biobased raw materials and continuous life cycle improvements, we are able to create a climate positive floor that contributes to a sustainable future. Marmoleum floors improve the environmental and well-being score in building rating schemes such as LEED, BREEAM and the Well building standard.
Create a seamless connection between our living spaces and the natural world.
With Marmoleum, you choose a sustainable floor that is climate positive (cradle to gate). From the origins to the final product, without buying carbon credits.
The construction industry is one of the major contributors of carbon emissions that cause climate change. Therefore, we are looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint to combat global warming. The use of environmentally friendly building materials is becoming increasingly important when designing a new construction project.
Forbo aims to contribute to solving climate change issues by developing environmentally friendly flooring solutions.
Our Marmoleum floors are made from 98% natural raw materials such as linseed oil, wood flour, limestone, resin and jute. Marmoleum is unique as it has CO2 uptake in the product itself. The photosynthesis of the biobased materials used in Marmoleum provides CO2 uptake that exceeds the CO2 emissions caused by transportation and production processing. Therefore, Marmoleum is climate positive (or carbon negative) from cradle to gate.
Marmoleum fits into any sustainable interior. We have a choice: by using durable materials in our homes, offices, schools, trains, hospitals and shops, we can create better environments!

Topshield pro is the surface finish of our Marmoleum floors, developed with the latest technologies and based on our years of experience.
Our Topshield pro finish works with a two layer system and can therefore be repaired or refreshed in cases of accidents or after years of use. The Topshield pro primer bonds with the linoleum surface, creating an initial protection layer. The second layer provides a tough scratch-resistant and dirt repellent finish. Both layers are thermally and UV cured. Because the floor lasts for so long and is so easy to clean, Marmoleum has a low cost of ownership.
Marmoleum with Topshield pro is a ready to use floor that requires no initial maintenance or polymer application and that offers 3x better protection:
1. Better lasting wear performance
2. Better stain resistance
3. Better cleaning and maintenance
Go to our Topshield pro page for more information about the Topshield pro tests that we have done in our own laboratory, in practice and with external experts.

• Durability and great appearance: the hard-wearing and smooth surface ensures easy cleaning
The craft of making Marmoleum originates from the 19th century. Making linoleum was literally a handmade process, one in which the mixing, maturing and calandering of the raw materials was a trade mastered by few.
The craft of manufacturing linoleum has developed over the past 150 years into a lean, automated and energy-efficient production process. Forbo has driven this development with its Marmoleum brand. Making Marmoleum is still an art, which is not taught at any trade or craft school. In fact, only a handful of people know how to make Marmoleum. Determining the right mixture of ingredients, maintaining the right time for the raw materials to settle and applying the correct temperature and pressure are skills that our experts must master. We are proud of our experts as much as they take pride in creating every piece of Marmoleum.
