A Natural Choice for Educational Spaces Educational buildings are high-traffic environments that demand durable, safe, and easy-to-maintain materials."
"Tarkett linoleum is made from 96% natural ingredients, including linseed oil, pine resin, wood flour, and jute - making it an ideal solution for sustainable school and campus design. Its tactile quality, warm color tones, and non-reflective surface create soothing, sensory environments that support learning and regeneration.
