Marmoleum FR² is a linoleum floor covering created using a high percentage of natural raw materials, with renewable and recycled content.
Marmoleum FR² includes Topshield pro, a double layer, UV-cured finish that is scratch and scuff resistant.
Marmoleum has a track record of over 150 years. A natural floor covering that is associated with sustainability, durability, high quality and innovative design.
For the rail sector, Marmoleum FR² offers total versatility in terms of colour and design, but what makes these floor coverings really stand out is the fact that they are created using a high percentage of natural raw materials, with renewable and recycled contents.

Infection control & Allergy UK
Independent testing by the University of Glasgow has proved that Marmoleum has a unique suitability for a diverse range of environments where hygiene and control of bacteria are important.
Topshield pro
All Marmoleum FR² floors include Topshield pro, a double layer, UV-cured finish that is scratch and scuff resistant, easy to maintain and ensures long lasting appearance retention. With its natural bacteriostatic properties and resistance to chemicals, it is the ideal solution for heavy traffic rail vehicles.
Welding
In the majority of installations, Marmoleum does not need to be welded as it is completely dimensionally stable and will not shrink after proper installation. However, if welding is the preferred option, there are matching welding cords for every Marmoleum FR² design.
Cut to shape/size
Forbo recognise that sometimes you may wish to create something totally unique, perhaps something specific to a particular project, such as signage to facilitate the restrictions and safety guidelines within the train. Whatever may be required, our in-house design team has the skills and experience to turn ideas into reality.
From an initial concept, detailed drawing, or computer file, our design team prepares a flooring design that is transferred electronically to the cutting machines. These computer-controlled machines represent state-of-the-art cutting technology and produce precision cut items accurate to a fraction of a millimetre.
Marmoleum is made from natural, rapidly renewable, raw materials.
Marmoleum FR² and Striato FR products, part of the Marmoleum product range, are climate positive (cradle to gate) without off setting. In simple terms, they absorb more carbon dioxide (CO2) during the growth of their plant-based ingredients such as flax, jute and resin, than is released during the manufacturing and transportation processes.
The result is a net positive impact on reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
A floor covering made from natural materials. Key materials from which Marmoleum FR² is created:
• linseed oil from the seeds of the flax plants
• fibres from jute stems
• rosin from pine trees
• upcycled wood residues from controlled sustainable forestry
• limestone
• pigments
