Marmoleum is the first flooring to be certified by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America as asthma and allergy friendly. The floor tiles are made from natural, renewable ingredients abundant in nature: linseed oil, wood flour, rosin from pine trees, jute plant, and finely ground limestone. Marmoleum floors, once installed, are hygienic, anti-static and, after 25 to 40 years of use, biodegradable.
Keeping a house dust free is the healthy choice for all people, but especially for asthma patients suffering from dust mite allergy. Marmoleum is a valuable tool in creating a healthy home ecosystem. Laboratory studies have shown Marmoleum to be both anti-static and bacteriostatic: microorganisms do not thrive easily on it, which makes the floor naturally hygienic.
Marmoleum click tiles are also the DIY (do it yourself) dream. With just a small hammer, three wooden wedges (I received mine on loan from my 3-year-old son), a tapping block and a hand saw, even the least handy persons can install it with ease; and it won’t take much time at all, either. Marmoleum tiles lock together, so no glues or nails are required.
