Armstrong is proud to offer commercial flooring solutions for every

customer, every budget and every project. As one of the most

sustainable options in resilient flooring, LinoArt™ linoleum is a choice

you can depend on to provide years of satisfaction and performance.

Begins Sustainable Armstrong® linoleum sheet is 100% BioBased Certified*, made up of

98% organic and mineral-based raw materials, over 70% of which are

naturally renewable. No plasticizers, chlorine, crude oil, or heavy metals

are used in the manufacturing process. Our linoleum products

contribute to a low VOC environment and are clearly a sustainable

flooring choice for commercial spaces.

Remains Sustainable

With flooring, a long life cycle provides the ultimate in sustainability.

Spaces designed with LinoArt linoleum can remain beautiful for decades,

even in the face of heavy traffic, rolling loads and caster wear. As a true

through-pattern product, the colors and patterns extend through the

entire floor, providing even wear and a consistent appearance.

Since it is naturally insulating and our colors are light reflecting, linoleum

can help reduce energy used for heating, cooling, and lighting.

Our dimensionally-stable and modular Granette™ tile provides multiple

shapes and sizes to mix, match, and create an endless variety of

patterns. Our newest linoleum sheet, Rhythmics,™ is a contemporary

linear design which can provide directional wayfinding throughout

spaces. And, our Marmorette™ and Colorette™ linoleum have been

updated to provide you with the newest color trends. The full range of

the LinoArt collection provides natural flooring that coordinates easily

with existing interiors and finishes for total design flexibility.

Armstrong linoleum is customizable, enabling you to easily create unique

graphics, logos, school emblems, and wayfinding solutions.

Easy Maintenance = Lower Life Cycle Costs

LinoArt linoleum can play a key role in keeping maintenance and labor

costs down for facility owners and managers. The new NATURCote™ II

high performance coating, featured on all LinoArt products, reduces the

amount of cleaning products required. Routine maintenance can be as

easy as mopping and autoscrubbing, eliminating time and disruptions

from stripping and polishing.

LinoArt™ Linoleum Resists:

• Wear in high traffic areas• Indentation from furniture, rolling carts

and casters, dropped objects

• Rips, tears, and gouges

NATURCote™ II High Performance Coating Resists:• Scratches and scuffs from foot traffic

• Dirt build-up and stains• Damage from alcohol-based hand sanitizers

• Damage from accidental exposure to high pH

cleaning chemicals

Armstrong Continues to Innovate with

NATURCote™ II High Performance Coating

The built-in performance of the new NATURCote™ II coating withstands

scratches and scuffs from foot traffic in heavily traveled areas. This

new coating also provides resistance to soiling, stains, and damage

from accidental high pH cleaning chemicals and alcohol-based hand

sanitizers, all helping to maintain the richness of the linoleum’s original

installed appearance, even in high traffic conditions.

Acoustical Design

When acoustics are considered in design, it can improve concentration,

healing, and learning, and may prevent unwanted distractions. Best

design practices should consider aesthetics and acoustical performance

of materials and linoleum with a noise reduction coefficient (NRC) of

0.05 to achieve this combination. Linoleum is comparable with rubber

tile flooring* in terms of NRC, but when acoustical performance is

coupled with naturally sustainable attributes such as low VOC emissions

and biobased content, it is easy to see why linoleum is an all around

great sustainable choice for acoustical design.

Long Life for High Traffic SpacesFrom the school corridors travelled by generations of students to hospital hallways subject to thousands of patients, carts, and gurneys, LinoArt™

linoleum maintains its color and beautiful appearance. The through-pattern construction makes it the ideal choice for lasting durability in high

impact environments.

Before Armstrong calls a floor durable, it’s put through extensive testing, and then tested some more. Armstrong® floors meet or exceed ASTM

International Standards. They are additionally tested to any number of over 150 flooring-related tests, many of which are Armstrong proprietary.

This ensures the flooring products can withstand ever-moving furniture, rolling casters, soil, stains, falling objects, tears, scratches, indents, and

anything else a commercial environment encounters that can impact the fit and finish of a floor.

Why do we test our floors so extensively? So your Armstrong flooring will perform and look great for years to come.

• Hospital operating rooms

• Commercial kitchens and commercial food-processing areas

• Heavy industrial areas

• Exterior areas• Where pointed spikes such as golf or track shoes will be used

• Where the floor will be subjected to unusually concentrated static or

dynamic loads

NOTE: Concentrated static and dynamic loads such as hospital beds, roll-

out bleachers, portable x-ray machines, etc., may visibly damage resilient

as well as other types of floor coverings. For questions regarding product

suitability and detailed instructions for floor preparation and installation inthese applications, please contact Armstrong.

Suitable for Application Over • Concrete, terrazzo and other dry, structurally sound monolithic

subfloors, which are suspended on grade or below grade.

• Suspended wood subfloor construction with approved wood

underlayments, and a minimum of 18 in. (45.7 cm) well ventilated air

space below

• Steel, stainless steel, aluminum and lead, and most existing single-

layer resilient floors on approved underlayments• Radiant-heated subfloors with a maximum surface temperature of

cu. ft. (1506 kg/m3 ) dry weight], or concrete having a compressive

strength of less than 3500 psi (24 Mpa). Concrete slabs with heavystatic and/or dynamic loads should have higher design strengths anddensities calculated to accommodate such loads.
