The floors in your home should be beautiful, but they also need to be practical. Linoleum flooring can bring the best of both worlds as a diverse, timeless material that can suit any home. Below are some of the benefits to consider when choosing linoleum for your floors.

Why You Should Put Linoleum Flooring in Your House

1. Long-Lasting

Linoleum is a durable product that often comes with extended warranties. It can last for up to 40 years or more with normal wear and tear. It’s also resistant to damages like chipping or breaking. If you take proper care of it, linoleum won’t rot, corrode, or fade over time.

2. Environmentally Friendly 

This flooring is made from all-natural materials like wood resin, sawdust, and corkboard. Harvesting it has a minimal impact on the environment as it can often be made from the byproduct of creating hardwood flooring. Once you're done with the flooring, it's biodegradable and will break down naturally without harming the environment.

3. Resistant to Staining, Water Damage, & Bacteria 

Linoleum is compressed and sealed with a durable finish, which gives it a stylish look but also protects it. It's resistant to bacteria and staining, and it's not vulnerable to damage from high humidity or high traffic. It's ideal for busy, humid areas in your home, like kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry rooms.

4. Low Maintenance

With a smooth, flat surface, spills can be wiped up quickly, and regular upkeep involves simple sweeping and mopping. It's also easy for flooring companies to repair because the color is consistent throughout the material, so scratches or chips can be sanded down and resealed for an untraceable fix.
