Marmoleum (bleeker) www.forboflooringna.com


Marmoleum the natural choice for furniture and wall applications. With great features such as durability, bacteria resistance, ease of use and large color selection, Marmoleum is suited for numerous applications from furniture to wall panels.

Marmoleum Wainscot Panels combine the great features of Marmoleum with a seamless, watertight tongue and groove wall system.

panel size: 12" x 36" approx. (300 mm x 900 mm)
thickness: 9.8 mm (approx. 3/8")

Life-cycle analyses (LCAs) are applied throughout the world to quantify the potential environmental impacts of a product system over the lifecycle (i.e. from the extraction of the raw materials to the disposal of the product at the end of its useful life).

A product’s ‘eco-balance’ is based on an analysis of: its durability and whether its production;
- uses primary energy carriers, such as mineral oil and gas;
- depletes scarce raw materials;
- has fertilization effects;
- leads to acidification;
- damages the ozone layer;
- contributes to global warming;
- produces waste products.

The results of an LCA of a number of floor coverings rank Marmoleum first as a nature-friendly floor covering, together with pure, unlacquered wood. In addition, Marmoleum earned an honorable mention for its long lifespan.
