Forbo Piano Sheet Linoleum
Forbo Piano Sheet Linoleum
Piano is the Italian word for gently, plain, smooth or soft. In Forbo’s Piano Sheet Linoleum’s design a subtle soft fiber feel is combined with a plain background creating a semi-plain design with dirt hiding properties. Forbo’s Piano flooring is the perfect alternative for those who love the minimal and plain aesthetics of our Walton range but require soil hiding properties. Marmoleum Piano presents a subtle soft fiber feel design combined with a plain background thus creating a semi-plain visual with dirt hiding properties.
Finished with Topshield Pro; Forbo Floorings’ high performance UV-finish, applied to all Marmoleum floor coverings. Topshield Pro prevents staining, scuffing and scratching for lasting appearance retention and provides for easy cleaning and maintenance at lower intervals.
Forbo Piano Sheet Linoleum is a natural floor made from 97% natural raw materials, 70% of which are rapidly renewable, along with a 43% recycled content. The key raw materials used in its production include linseed oil, which comes from the flax plant seeds, wood flour as production waste from controlled forestry plantations and jute, a crop whose fibers provide the material for the membrane onto which the linoleum is calendared. With Forbo Piano Sheet Linoleum, it is the simple, natural ingredient combination that creates the product. Marmoleum has no additives to make it look better, no supplements to enhance its green profile and no artificial ingredients to improve stability or flexibility. Marmoleum is what it is and nothing else.
With its ‘all-natural ingredients’, Forbo Piano Sheet Linoleum flooring is almost like creating a floor covering with nutrients. As a matter of fact, the process of making Marmoleum is not unlike to that of preparing an oven-baked apple pie. What makes Marmoleum special is that it is created entirely from raw materials obtained from their natural habitat right where they grow and renew, often in just 12 months time. Jute and flax are annual crops that can be harvested just like wheat or corn. Extracting rosin is a continuous process, while wood flour, a waste material from the timber industry, is derived from European industrial forests, while lime stone is available in abundance.
