Lancaster, Pa. — Feb. 6, 2015 — Armstrong World Industries announces its new LinoArt Linoleum line, with six collections and over 110 beautiful colors, including the new Granette modular tile and Rhythmics sheet, to help create one-of-a-kind, sustainable space solutions.
The new dimensionally stable LinoArt Linoleum Granette Tile is a modular offering available in three market-demand sizes: 24x24, 12x24 and 12x12. This new linoleum tile makes it easy to create distinctive, long-lasting custom designs. The beautiful neutrals, grays, black and browns, along with bold artistic colors, textures, tonal qualities, and embossing features, provide a natural organic look and textural feel. The new tile offers 25 on-trend colors and provides multiple shapes and sizes to mix, match, and create an endless variety of patterns.
Armstrong’s newest linoleum sheet, Rhythmics, is a contemporary linear design available in 12 soothing colors. Marmorette and Colorette linoleum sheet collections are updated with the newest color trends and highly desired accent colors.
The entire LinoArt collection provides natural flooring that coordinates easily with existing interiors and finishes for total design flexibility. The colors and design options make LinoArt linoleum ideal for applications in healthcare facilities, retail spaces, and schools.
Armstrong linoleum is BioBased Certified, made up of organic and mineral-based raw materials, with a majority share being naturally renewable, and contains up to 35 percent recycled content. Armstrong linoleum products use no plasticizers, chlorine, crude oil, or heavy metals in the manufacturing process. Its linoleum products contribute to a low-VOC environment and are a sustainable flooring choice for commercial spaces.
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. 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 and stains, and performs well against alcohol-based hand sanitizers and the damage that may result from accidental exposure to high pH cleaning chemicals.
All of these features help maintain the richness of the linoleum’s original installed appearance, even in high-traffic conditions. Routine maintenance can be as easy as mopping and auto scrubbing, eliminating time and disruptions from stripping and polishing.
From the school corridors traveled 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. For more information, visit www.armstrong.com.
