At least you have a good chance of cleaning it and coming back to a real good look without a lot of work. Other new products hitting the market continue the natural-materials theme with increased texture and graphics that represent stone, ceramic tile and brick. Some are even putting organic materials into the resilient itself. Flexco s new Marley Matrix commercial line features a non-directional pattern created by the insertion of decorative mineral granules in the wear layer. The granules are post-consumer waste and help increase the product s durability.
Colors range from deep violet Atlantic to the gray, speckled Gravel.
In Flexco s Premium Collection luxury resilient, the graphics capture several shades of marble, granite, travertine, limestone, sandstone, slate, concrete, clay and brick. Other manufacturers are producing new products with more nature-derived color pigmentation. According to Forbo Industries spokesperson Piera Marotto, consumers are more accepting of additional color now. Forbo s new Marmoleum Vivace, part of the global 1 line of linoleum flooring, uses seven or eight color pigments, where most manufacturers incorporate only two or three. There is so much more color and depth, Marotto said.
