What is furniture linoleum? 

Furniture Linoleum is produced from a very finely ground linoleum granulate created from pure oxidized vegetable linseed oil and natural pine rosin, to which wood flour and color pigments have been added. The Furniture linoleum is created by a process which rolls the material on to an impregnated paper backing. It is finished with a water-based, cross-linked acrylic finish that protects the surface while maintaining the flexibility special touch of linoleum.

Application

Furniture Linoleum can be applied easily on all common materials such as MDF,
chipboard and Plywood as well as steel or composite materials. Furniture Linoleum has a special matte appearance to prevent unpleasant light reflections. Generally, Furniture Linoleum does not require additional treatment but an additional coat may be applied if required (e.g., a UV-resistant PU coating), using a spray gun for even application. 

Furniture Linoleum should always be applied to a carrier material, e.g.: MDF, chipboard, multiplex or pressed composite plates. Whenever two different types of material are stuck together, tension develops between them. To alleviate this, it is required to ‘counter balance’ the material, such as Polybak balancing backer. This also applies to linoleum when adhered to a carrier, especially loose panels. It is recommended to apply a material with the same technical properties to both sides of the carrier material. 

Some tips for applying Furniture Linoleum:

• Cut Furniture Linoleum approximately 1% oversized.
• Lay material flat and leave it to acclimatize for approximately 24 hours at room temperature before application.
