What is a Pika?

Driving Directions

 

Forbo's Marmoleum is a natural linoleum made from linseed oil, rosins, and wood flour on a natural jute backing (the backing for standard commercial tile is synthetic polyester).  Marmoleum has no adverse health effects during production, useful life, or disposal. Further, it is installed with solvent- free adhesives, which emit no harmful VOCs. 

If your objective is to create a dust and allergin-free environment, Marmoleum is the natural choice. Its anti-static properties  make the floor easier to clean in that dust and dirt will not easily adhere.   Furthermore, the continual oxidation of the linseed oil provides a bactericidal effect – micro-organisms, including  Salmonella Typhimurium and Staphylococcus Aureus, are unable to multiply on its surface.   Marmoleum is ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and childrens rooms.

Available in over 100 colors, as well as  insets and  borders, Marmoleum offers endless possibilities for creativity. 

Marmoleum is available in sheets (79" wide) and tiles (13" x 13" or 20" x 20") or in “Click” tiles (12” x 12”) or panels (12” x 36”), which are interlocking  Come and see our large Marmoleum sample display of the wide range of colors currently available. 

We do not carry any Marmoleum flooring in stock.  Delivery times to The Green Pika are based on availability of the color chosen.  Please allow a few days lead time for the product to arrive and an additional week for acclimation.
