So lets start,
Linoleum is called Lino and it is made from materials such as solidified linseed oil, pine rosin, ground cork dust, wood flour, and mineral fillers such as calcium carbonate.
Vinyl is a synthetic man-made material. It is a type of plastic that is made from ethylene (found in crude oil) and chlorine (found in regular salt). When processed, both the substances are combined to form Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) resin, or as is commonly referred to - Vinyl.
Maintenance of both types are relatively low though linoleum requires a little more attention than vinyl.Cleaning of both is is easy though they use different cleaning equipment.
Linoleum is more durable compared to Vinyl, it is more long lasting type of flooring if maintained well and therefore a better environment friend than vinyl as it reduces waste.
Lino is made from natural material therefore Eco-friendly compared to Vinyl and also doesn't not emit VOCs.
Installation for both can be a DIY project as it is not as complicated but the most ideal DIY is Vinyl as it is easy to install, Lino has some precautions that need to be looked at.
Vinyl is inexpensive compared to Lino, Lino is more durable and hence more expensive compared to Vinyl although they are both affordable.
Both have design options but Vinyl is the mother of all prints and colors when it comes to flooring, It is important to note that Lino designs have a longer wear life than Vinyl.
Vinyl is waterproof as Lino is water resistant, Lino can be damaged by water over a period of time whereas Vinyl is completely waterproof.
Those are just but the major differences of Lino and Vinyl.The choice of either is relatively a now narrow decision that you must make as all the major aspects have been mentioned.
Both are great resilient flooring solutions that add on the value of your home or institution, they are not only a piece of flooring but also a piece of art that makes people attracted and appreciate the place.
