Forbo Marmoleum Flooring

100708AtticRm_Lg.jpgForbo natural flooring product has been featured and discussed on AT before, but we'd like to focus on the design (color!) components as much as the green ones. The linseed oil, wood flour, rosin, and jute product offers a healthy design solution in lieu of sheet vinyl, and is customizable in shape, pattern, size (as tiles or sheets) and colors. Here are some of the most interesting examples we spotted:

I don't feel like the above photos do the Marmoleum justice - it looks a bit sterile there, but much nicer in person. I definitely suggest looking for remnants from a local flooring company if you're using it on a smaller area. We got ours for less than $1 per square foot that way.

What's the big deal with having an anti-bacterial floor? Doesn't sound very "natural" to me.
