Furniture Linoleum
A 2 mm matte linoleum sheet for furniture, cabinet fronts and wall panels, made largely from linseed oil, pine rosin and wood flour.
Furniture Linoleum by Forbo Flooring is a 2 mm linoleum sheet for furniture, cabinet fronts and wall panels. It is made of 94 percent natural raw materials, and 79 percent of the material is renewable: linseed oil, pine rosin and PEFC-certified wood flour, with limestone and mineral pigments.
The surface is deep matte, with a gloss level below 5, and soft and warm to the touch. It resists fingerprints and is antistatic, so dust does not cling to it. Instead of wearing, it slowly gains a patina. Because it is a natural product, colours can vary slightly between batches.
The sheet comes on rolls 1.83 metres wide and can be bonded to MDF, chipboard, plywood, steel or composites, horizontally, vertically and around curves; in testing it bends around a 50 mm mandrel. The collection has 24 colours, from olive and espresso to vapour and blue haze; an unpigmented version is available on request. Typical uses are desks, tables, kitchens, shelving, doors and acoustic wall panels.
Forbo produces it with 100 percent renewable electricity and, according to its own environmental declaration, it is climate positive from cradle to gate. Forbo’s earlier Marmoleum Cocoa is also on MaterialDistrict, and cocoa-shell linoleum shapes Bever’s Basecamp office.
