Pro Tip:

For optimal CO2 laser cutting, cut Forbo Furniture Linoleum 1% oversized and acclimatize flat at room temperature for 24 hours before processing to prevent warping. Secure panels with a jig, magnets, or tape during cutting, and ensure proper ventilation. Use low power for clean cuts and engrave on the matte surface for high-contrast designs. Apply to a carrier material (e.g., MDF or plywood) with a counterbalancing backer (e.g., Polybak) to minimize tension. Sand lightly with 220-grit sandpaper before painting or applying an optional UV-resistant PU coating with a spray gun for enhanced durability. Store flat in a temperature-controlled environment (50°F-100°F) to maintain flexibility. Clean with a soft, dry cloth or mild soap and water, avoiding abrasive sponges or alkalis to preserve the matte finish.
