Tarkett’s linoleum flooring makes the grade at Wolseley’s new Sustainable Building Centre

Tarkett’s linoleum xf is a modern flooring solution based on traditional values, made from natural, renewable raw materials that have remained the same for more than a hundred years. So it was no surprise that Wolseley chose Tarkett’s linoleum as a showcase product within its new Sustainable Building Centre.

This £2.9m development is the first of its kind and incorporates some of the latest technologies and the widest range of real-world sustainable, energy-efficient and recycled building products, many installed within their working environment to provide visitors with first-hand experience of the products ‘in action’.

Tarkett’s Veneto xf linoleum features throughout the stairwells, ladies and gents toilets and in a meeting room. Made from linseed oil (flax), resin, wood flour, cork flour and jute, linoleum is totally sustainable as well as tough and durable, as its use in these areas demonstrates. Tarkett’s ‘extreme finish’ (xf) surface treatment enhances the toughness of the flooring, while the use of natural raw materials ensures it remains smooth and warm underfoot, and at the same time providing resilience to indentation, stains and abrasions.

Another environmental benefit of the linoleum xf surface treatment is the average 50% reduction in consumption of water, energy and detergent needed for its cleaning and maintenance. It also needs no initial wax or polish and there is no need to strip. All of these benefits combine to give Veneto xf an exceptional overall lifecycle cost.


Tarkett’s closed loop production processes ensure all waste can be recycled at every stage in the manufacturing process, or safely incinerated to produce thermal and electrical energy. As linoleum is carbon-neutral, the CO2 produced in incineration is the same or less than that absorbed during the growth of the various plants used to make it. Tarkett has also recently started to source flax seed from suppliers near to its manufacturing plant in Narni that use traditional methods, and to reduce transportation.
