The Uncompromising Appeal of Marmoleum Click Cinch LOC

This type of linoleum is appealing because it feels warm on your feet, is comfortable to walk on, and is quiet, thanks to the Forbo foam underlay. Its resistance against water makes it a durable flooring that can withstand wear and tear. Forbo is an internationally popular name in floors thanks to their manufacturing of high-quality linoleum, vinyl, LVT, and flocked flooring. Their linoleum brands have become a new standard, particularly their Marmoleum Click Cinch Loc.

Forbo modernized it, making it a part of the resilient floor family. It also became more green thanks to Forbo using renewable resources in its manufacturing process. Those of you with concerns about keeping linoleum clean can also enjoy the use of science through Forbo. They use an innovative finish as the top coating to help repel dirt and dust.

 

What makes Marmoleum linoleum unique goes beyond these basic stats, though. No doubt you have questions about its pros and cons, plus everything from the materials it uses to warranties.

 

Pros and Cons

Pros:

• Marmoleum linoleum is water resistant, making it a perfect choice for moisture-prone rooms. Excessive moisture might mean you’ll need a replacement.

• Forbo’s natural materials are top-tier and prevent damage. Its antimicrobial properties prevent mold development—common in moisture-laden areas such as the kitchen, bathroom, or laundry.

• Natural materials help prevent the growth of bacteria. Natural linoleum flooring repels allergens, making it perfect for allergy sufferers.

• It’s easy to clean because it repels dirt and dust.

• The comfort level is softer than most other hard floors on the market. It almost feels like carpet and always acclimates to room temperature immediately.

• The aesthetic beauty of Marmoleum linoleum is a standout. Match up this floor with any type of interior decor. For use in commercial locations, the varied colors are also perfect for branding purposes.

Cons:

• Poor upkeep usually leads to curled edges and other deterioration.

Pre-Purchase Q&A

What Is Marmoleum?

Many customers wonder why Forbo named their linoleum Marmoleum. Marmoleum was coined by Forbo exclusively, using a list of natural materials to bring more durability.

 

Marmoleum differs from the old linoleum floor you likely see in older homes. It stands apart because it has "Marmoleum" right on the top layer. This mixture of materials is made primarily of linseed oil. If this sounds familiar, linoleum has always come from this oil type. Along with added natural pigments, the entire mixture forms the quality construction of Marmoleum and a more robust version of linoleum, with some now calling linoleum Marmoleum.

 

How Do You Clean Marmoleum?

Cleaning a Marmoleum floor is easy based on natural dirt repelling. Still, regular care needs to be done like any other floor. Not cleaning your linoleum makes it deteriorate far too fast if you have heavy floor traffic.

 

A Topshield™ finish on the surface is the secret to keeping your Marmoleum floor clean and smooth. It requires a little weekly sweeping with a neutral liquid cleaner and a damp cloth to wipe up any spills or stains.

Where Do You Buy Marmoleum?

You can buy Marmoleum floors in any outlet that sells flooring. Big box stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot sell Forbo. However, remember that many stores sell these floors at total retail prices. Going online to find linoleum flooring is the better bet. Doing this allows you to find outlets with real experts. Best of all, online outlets offer pricing discounts.

 

How Much Does Marmoleum Flooring Cost?

The cost of Marmoleum is not necessarily a bargain brand. Going online to get discounts is highly recommended. Marmoleum linoleum runs from $3 to $7 per square foot. As a mid-priced floor, it’s no wonder it’s become so popular thanks to still being affordable. Only a few floors at this price level offer many aesthetic options.

Why is Marmoleum Flooring So Important in Preventing Allergens?

A central plus point in Marmoleum Cinch Loc is that its natural elements rid your home or business of allergens to prevent illness. Some of the allergens it eliminates should make for a more enjoyable living space if you’re sensitive to your environment.

 

If you’re still using carpet, it can harbor considerable amounts of mold, mildew, and pollen as just starters. Due to bacteria resistance, pet dander also can’t survive on Marmoleum’s surface. A carpet is already vulnerable to dander if you have pets, giving you more incentive to get rid of your carpet and go with linoleum. The same applies to caustic chemicals like lead or pesticides. VOCs also won’t adhere to Marmoleum. You can even rest assured that lead, formaldehyde, and chlorine aren’t used in any capacity in Forbo’s flooring.

 

Residential Warranty Information

How long do Marmoleum warranties last? You may wonder about that question after installing the floor at home or in a commercial location. Forbo’s warranties work very similarly to others. They provide extensive warranty coverage but with many provisions based on whether the product has natural defects.

 

Their residential warranty lasts 25 years for general wear. However, they offer lifetime warranty protection in two categories: Structural problems and water-resistance issues.

 

When all conditions are met on your warranty, Forbo supplies you with a free replacement, including reimbursement for installation charges. Marmoleum is only meant for indoor use, so eliminate any thought about creating the first linoleum outdoor walkway.

 

Commercial Warranties

Marmoleum Click Cinch Loc

Is only made available for residential use, though it doesn’t mean other versions of Marmoleum can’t be used in commercial locations.

 

A commercial warranty does exist for Marmoleum with Topshield2™ on the surface. This warranty lasts 30 years with all the same provisions as the residential one.

 

To file a warranty claim, you can do so right through Forbo.

The Most Organic Floor on the Planet

Being an all-natural flooring product, Marmoleum Click Cinch Loc is one of the most organic floors on the planet. Where do those natural materials all come from?

 

Look at the five primary materials Forbo uses and where the company gets them:

1. Linseed Oil

To produce linseed oil for Marmoleum, Forbo presses the seed from the flax plant. These plants are easy to grow and are used to create linens worldwide. The robust nature of linseed fibers makes them perfect for practical items like flooring. Its use in linoleum floors also returned in recent years after synthetic fibers became more popular.

2. Pine Rosins

Rosin from pine trees is produced in various countries worldwide, mainly in Portugal and Brazil, though also some in the United States. It is primarily used in the food industry or as wood treatment. Adding it to linseed oil made for a more flexible binder. Only Forbo made this concoction possible, creating a more durable linoleum. Beyond the flooring industry, you’ll frequently see linseed oil and pine resin mixtures to create a more durable finish on other household products.

3. Wood Flour

The U.S. Forest Service defines wood flour as “wood reduced to finely divided particles approximating those of cereal flours in size, appearance, and texture.” It’s grown in specialized forests but has been used in commercial applications for over a century. Some might merely call wood flour sawdust since it looks similar. Wood flour is still considered much finer in appearance. Today, it’s usually used as part of a wood/plastic composite for decks and roofs. Using it as filler in resins is also popular and an excellent linoleum covering.

4. Ecologically Friendly Pigments

The environmentally friendly pigments used in Marmoleum flooring help create the beautiful colors you see available. Natural dyes were used to make oil paints at one time until synthetic pigments entered the mainstream. Regardless, a resurgence in natural pigments began in recent years, particularly in the printing industry. Forbo picked up on using these pigments to create unique colors. Thanks to their natural qualities, they make more vibrant color hues, hence why Marmoleum looks so stunning in any room.

5. Jute Fiber

Did you know Jute is known as the "Golden Fiber?" It’s a fiber derived from Corchorus Olitorius and Corchorus Capsularis plants and spun into threads for use in carpets to clothes. These plants are easy to grow since they don’t need fertilizers or pesticides to flourish. Grown mainly in India, Forbo exports it to their European manufacturing plant for use as Marmoleum backing. You can thank Jute, in part, for making Marmoleum so strong, plus anti-static.

 

A Look at Marmoleum’s Ability to Control Sound

The cork underlayment on Marmoleum is excellent for sound reduction in your home. Marmoleum reduces sound to 17 dB, including 21dB when adding a Forbo cork underlay. The company’s scientific principles behind this need to be noted more, even though Forbo has been a specialist in acoustic floors for three decades.

In addition to Marmoleum Cinch Loc’s sound control abilities, you can get similar flooring that hones in on controlling sound. Marmoleum Acoustic and Marmoleum Decibel are explicitly made for noisy living spaces.

 

Testimonials

While Forbo’s website doesn’t provide on-site reviews, you can find reviews from online outlets selling this product. Floor City is one where you can find numerous customer comments nationwide. What do our customers say about us? Looking at what buyers say about these floors can help you better decide whether it’s right for you.

 

Most reviews show the vast diversity of the rooms where Marmoleum flooring can go. For every kitchen or bathroom review, you’ll find some surprising reviews indicating rooms where you might not think Marmoleum would typically go:

"Love this floor. We put it over our old ceramic tile. It fits well, love the color, and it cleans easily. Highly recommend."

 

"I liked how easily it clicked together!"

 

"Quick shipping, great price, and the floors look great."

 

"Very nice look, natural. Quick shipping and phenomenal price!"

"Easy website to navigate for ordering. Well packaged and quick, easy delivery. Installation of Marmoleum Click Cinch Loc was straightforward and had beautiful results."
