[VAC] Marmo, Congo...and other oleums!
Linoleum...Marmoleum...Congoleum...all good floors. None of these have man made
ingredients. They are all natural. There is no better floor, (except maybe
for cork, I know nothing about it), which is also included in "real" linoleum.
Whether it's called Marmoleum, or Congoleum, it is all the same...very expensive.
I have been checking around for floors and what I've seen is anywhere from 55
dollars a square yard, to over 80! I need 13 square yards to do my Safari,
I need a 7'X 19 piece to get coverage for all but 1 foot of streetside floor
that will be covered with furniture/cabinets!
Add it up! Yikes!!
These floors will last forever!
Vinyl floors...are the next best thing, and they pale in comparison. They are
a lot more reasonable pricewise.
For an easy to understand, and complete primer on linoleum, and it's history,
