It looks calm. Feels natural. Cleans easily. And quietly but confidently supports the kind of home you’re trying to create.
Its name? Marmoleum.
Not vinyl. Not laminate. Not lino as your gran knew it. But something altogether more refined, and more responsible.
Let’s clear up a common misconception.
Marmoleum isn’t a synthetic vinyl or click-clack laminate. It’s a natural linoleum, made from:
In essence, it’s a floor born from the earth — not a factory of petrochemicals.
Made by Forbo (Europe’s most trusted linoleum manufacturer), Marmoleum is designed to balance ethics, beauty, and practical strength in every room.
We see four types of client gravitate towards Marmoleum, each with a slightly different reason:
Legacy Builders
“This house deserves something that will last.” For those restoring or future-proofing character homes in Cambridge, Marmoleum appeals for its quiet integrity. It’s not trend led. It won’t date quickly. And it’s been trusted for over a century, used in museums, hospitals, schools, and Victorian homes alike. But it’s not just durable, it’s dignified. Marmoleum features a soft, matte finish that feels timeless, whether you opt for a neutral palette or a patterned inset.

Practical Dreamers
“We want it beautiful — but we live real lives too.” For families juggling muddy school runs, indoor-outdoor living, and occasional spills, Marmoleum is a quiet revelation. Why?
One family in Ely told us: “We chose Marmoleum for our kitchen and hallway. It feels soft underfoot, hides footprints, and still looks new a year later, even with a dog and two kids. Let’s start with one room and make it right.”
Eco-Conscious Custodians
“I want my floor to be good for my home and for the world.” Marmoleum is carbon-neutral from cradle to grave before any offsets. No plasticisers, no phthalates, and no VOCs. That means cleaner indoor air, safer homes, and less environmental guilt. For ethically minded homeowners, it’s one of the few truly non-toxic, natural floors available, and it’s also long-lasting, meaning less landfill and fewer re-fits down the line.
“Talk to us about a floor that supports your whole home ecosystem.”
“Make my client look good — and make my life easier.”
Designers love Marmoleum for its colour range, layout flexibility, and quiet confidence. You can inset it like tile. Border it like a rug. Or flow it seamlessly through a minimal space. The modular version even comes in planks, creating the look of wood with less pattern repeat and more ethical credentials. And with Art of Flooring’s team-led installs, designers know it will be fitted neatly, precisely, and without drama.

And because it works beautifully with underfloor heating, it’s ideal for modern retrofits and extensions.
Here’s what the spec sheets can’t say but our clients do: It changes how a room feels emotionally.
There’s a softness to Marmoleum that’s hard to describe. It doesn’t clack or echo like tile. It doesn’t hum cold like laminate. It feels… calming.
Someone once said, “When I walk in, it’s quiet. Just… right.”
It supports wellness quietly.
Because it’s anti-static and VOC-free, Marmoleum doesn’t aggravate allergies or release chemicals into the air. That means calmer breathing, especially in homes with asthma or sensitivities.
It wears in, not out.
Unlike vinyl, which can discolour or peel, Marmoleum develops a gentle patina over time. If scratched, it can be repaired or deep cleaned and resealed without needing to replace the entire floor.
Maybe not. If you’re after:
That’s why we always recommend a showroom visit — to feel it in person, test colours in real light, and talk through room suitability.
Not exactly, but that’s where we come in. Marmoleum needs:
Our trained fitters have installed Marmoleum in homes of all shapes and styles in Cambridge — from Edwardian terraces to new-build extensions.
Marmoleum has been around for over 150 years and was first used in hospitals for its hygienic properties. Then in schools, for its toughness. And now, finding new life in modern homes that care about sustainability and soul.
It’s not new. It’s not flashy. But it’s flooring with meaning — and that never goes out of style. Ready to explore Marmoleum in person?
Feel it. Test it.
Talk through which room — and why. Our Milton Road showroom features Marmoleum samples from across the range, along with expert advice on layout, installation, and care.
