Linoleum

Linoleum is a floor covering made from solidified linseed oil (linoxyn) in combination with wood flour or cork dust over a burlap or canvas backing. Pigments may be added to the materials used. The finest linoleum floors, known as 'inlaid', are extremely durable; they are made by joining and inlaying solid pieces of linoleum. Cheaper patterned linoleums came in different grades or gauges, and were printed with thinner layers which were more prone to wear and tear. Good quality linoleum is sufficiently flexible to be used in buildings in which more rigid material (such as ceramic tile) would crack. Between the time of its invention in 1860 and its being superseded by other hard floor coverings in the 1950s it was considered to be an excellent, inexpensive material for high use areas. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, it was favored in hallways and passages, and as a surround for carpet squares. However, most people associate linoleum with its common twentieth century use on kitchen floors. Its water resistance enabled easy maintenance of sanitary conditions and its resilience made standing easier and reduced breakage of dropped china.

Linoleum (aus lat. linum „Lein“ und oleum „Öl“) ist ein von dem englischen Chemiker Frederick Walton 1863 entwickelter Bodenbelag. Der einzige deutsche Fertigungsstandort ist heute noch in Delmenhorst bei Bremen (DLW-Linoleum). Weltweit gibt es nur noch 2 weitere Herstellerfirmen. Linoleum wird in einem aufwändigen Prozeß in Bahnen von ca. 2 m Breite und ca. 30 m Länge sowie 2,0 bis über 4,0 mm Stärke hergestellt.
