Battleship Linoleum

Linoleum is derived from two Latin words: Linum meaning linen and Oleum meaning oil. It was invented in 1860 by English rubber manufacturer Sir Frederick Walton and quickly became a floor covering in high demand. It became known as "battleship linoleum" due to its extreme strength and durability. Natural Lino Corkoleum is so durable it is resistant to some acids, grease, oil, solvents and even cigarette burns!

Sustainable & Renewable Corkoleum

Corkoleum is made from all-natural materials including linseed oil, cork and wood flour (post-industrial dust), rosin and limestone. Organic pigments are used to color the product. These ingredients are mixed and heated, then applied to a jute backing to form the surface wear layer. The wear layer is then attached to a premium exterior grade high density fiberboard (HDF) made from recycled composite wood. The attached cork backing is produced using the by-product material from the cork bottle stopper industry. Cork is the harvested bark from a cork oak tree and is harvested every 9- 11 years from trees with a lifespan of 120 up to 500 years!

Green Building with Natural Lino Corkoleum

Natural Lino Corkoleum floors contribute to satisfying LEED credits for Rapidly Renewable Resources, Recycled Content, and Low Emitting Materials under the LEED Rating System. The LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Green Building Rating System is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance green buildings as administered by U.S. Green Building Council. USFloors is a member of the USGBC.

The determining factor for indoor air quality is the quantity of noxious emanations from volatile organic compounds in adhesives and finishes. Natural Lino Corkoleum floors are produced with adhesives and finishes from European manufacturers and meet the E1 standard, a European test method to measure formaldehyde emissions. Corkoleum core board material that provides the structure for the Corkoleum veneer is also formaldehyde-free.
