Why should I choose Marmoleum Acoustic over the standard version?

If you are installing flooring on an upper floor or in a busy corridor, the standard floor will transmit footsteps downstairs. Marmoleum Acoustic features a built-in cork backing that stops impact noise by 14dB, keeping the building noticeably quieter.

Does the cork backing make the floor weak against heavy furniture?

Not at all. While the 2.0mm corkment underlayer adds a touch of cushion for walking comfort, it is highly compressed and dense. It easily maintains a Class 33 Heavy Commercial rating, resisting standard office chairs and school desks perfectly.

Does Marmoleum Acoustic require separate underlay installation?

No, that is the beauty of this product. Because the 2.0mm cork underlayer is permanently bonded to the linoleum during manufacturing, our London team can install it in a single step, saving you significant time and extra underlayment costs.

How does this acoustic floor fight bacteria and dust mites naturally?

The top layer consists of pure linseed oil linoleum. As it naturally cures over its long lifespan, it forms an environment where common bacteria and allergens cannot breed, providing built-in hygiene without added chemicals.

Is this acoustic linoleum suitable for underfloor heating systems?

Yes. It transfers heat safely and efficiently. It is fully approved for underfloor heating systems up to a maximum surface temperature of 27°C, adding even more warmth to the natural cork backing.
