Eco-friendly and produced mainly from renewable raw materials, Gerflor’s new DLW Linoleum collection offers unique customer benefits including ease of maintenance, excellent sustainability credentials, uncompromising design, an extensive colour palette and outstanding durability. It is ideally suited to the healthcare and education sectors, public buildings, offices, industrial buildings and warehouse areas as well as the retail trade, hotels, restaurants and residential properties.

Linoleum has a history dating back to 1863 and the DLW Linoleum Collection embraces styles from Art Nouveau to classic modern through five distinct ranges: Marmorette, Granette, Colorette, Uni Walton and Linodur. These provide incredible creative freedom as each has different patterning, performance characteristics and colour combinations based on a specially-created colour system offering three brightness levels.

The DLW Linoleum collection is a green solution made from 80% renewable raw materials including linseed oil, wood powder, wood resins, limestone, jute and cork. All are organic or mineral and there is no mineral oil content. The product is non toxic, even fulfilling tough regulations for children's toys, is certified by well-known eco labels and is biologically degradable at the end of the product’s life.

The collection is naturally warm underfoot and is suitable for underfloor heating. It is antibacterial, resistant to fading, permanently antistatic so does not attract dust, and has excellent resistance to stains and chemicals.

Maintenance is simple due to PUR or LPX durable protective coatings. PUR is 100% pure, solvent-free, UV-curing Polyurethane. Highly durable, PUR offers excellent resistance to stains and chemicals as well as hand and surface disinfectants and has incredible resistance to heel marks and scuff marks.
