 Furniture Linoleum and Bulletin Board are the natural choices for furniture surfaces and even wall use. The harvestable, renewable raw materials are found in abundance worldwide.
Linseed Oil
The most important raw material is obtained by pressing the seeds of the flax plant. Tall oil, a recycled post-industrial by-product of the Kraft paper industry, is a resin-based fatty acid. In combination with linseed oil, it optimizes the oxidation process in the production process.
Rosin
The binding agent is tapped from pine trees without affecting growth. Together with linseed oil, this is what gives our products their strength and flexibility.
Wood Flour
Used to bind the pigments and to ensure colourfastness. Products thus keep their beautiful, vibrant colours throughout their lifespan whilst also achieving an especially smooth surface. Tropical hardwood flour is never used, instead our wood flour is taken from timber grown in controlled European forests, where every tree felled is replaced.
Pigments
The most beautiful colours are created by using ecologically responsible pigments that do not contain heavy metals such as lead and cadmium.
Cork Flour
Made by grinding the bark of the cork oak, which is grown around the Mediterranean. The bark is peeled very seven to ten years without affecting the tree's growth. Cork flour is only used in Bulletin Board.
Limestone
Very finely ground, it is a valuable ingredient.
Jute
From the wide variety of materials available for making the floor covering's backing we prefer natural jute. The yarn for the webbing is spun from jute grown in India and Bangladesh.
