14 Furniture Linoleum
Technical informationEasy installation
Furniture Linoleum can be installed easily on allcommon materials such as MDF, chipboard andplywood.
Furniture Linoleum finish has a special matt
appearance to prevent unpleasant light reflections.
In general, Furniture Linoleum does not require
additional treatment but an additional coat may be
applied if required (e.g., a UV-resistant PU coating),
using a spray gun for even application.
Colour
As Furniture Linoleum is made from natural raw
materials different production runs may show slight
colour variations. This is something to bear in mind
when repeating an order.
Drying room film During the last phase of the production process, a
yellowish tint – known as drying room yellowing – may
form on Furniture Linoleum, especially on lighter
shades. This is entirely normal and disappears soon
after exposing the product to natural light.
Handling
Transport
Furniture Linoleum is protected by robust packaging to
prevent it from being damaged during transportation.
Keeping rolls vertical during transportation will also
help with this. When the linoleum is cut into sheets, lift
rather than pull the sheets; use pallets when
transporting large numbers of sheets.
Storage
Store rolls vertically and sheets horizontally (flat). Do
not let dirt get between sheets and avoid situations in
which heavy and/or sharp objects may be placed on
top of the stack. To ease installation, store the linoleum
at room temperature.
Preparations for installation
Cut Furniture Linoleum approximately 1% oversized.
Lay it flat and leave it (along with the adhesive and
carrier material) to acclimatise for approximately 24
hours at room temperature.
Installation
Furniture Linoleum should be applied to a carriermaterial, e.g.: MDF, chipboard, multiplex or pressedplates.
Whenever two different types of material are stuck
together, tension develops between them. To alleviate
this, it is often necessary to ‘balance’ the material. This
also applies to linoleum, especially loose panels. It is
recommended to apply a material with the same
technical properties to both sides of the carrier
material. Where larger surfaces are concerned, the
following aspects are important:
1. Choice of carrier material
2. Thickness, symmetry and strength of carrier material
3. Choice of backing used for counterbalancing
4. Good acclimatisation of materials employed.
The best results are achieved when the same material
is applied to both sides of the carrier material, at the
same time and in the same direction.
Furniture Linoleum is flexible and resilient, and (apart
from acclimatisation) no preparations are required
before installing it. To prevent any undesirable
projections in its surface, ensure that the surface of the
carrier material and of the reverse side of the material
are clean. The carrier material should be free of any
irregularities or other materials that could interfere
with the flat, smooth finish.
Adhesive
The adhesive used largely depends on the manner of
installation and the intended use of the finished
product. The carrier material also plays a role. General
guidelines are given in the table below.
Manual installation of a flat surface
If a flat surface is to be covered entirely with Furniture
Linoleum:
1. Stick the slightly oversized linoleum to the carrier
material. To prevent undesirable projections
showing through, apply the adhesive with a high-
pile roller.
2. Press the linoleum firmly into position with, for
example, a hand roller.
3. Saw, mill, cut or plane the carrier material and the
linoleum together into the desired shape as soon as
the adhesive has set. Always use sharp tools.
4. If required, apply an edge by way of finishing.

2. Thickness, symmetry and strength of carrier material
3. Choice of backing used for counterbalancing
4. Good acclimatisation of materials employed.
The best results are achieved when the same material
is applied to both sides of the carrier material, at the
same time and in the same direction.
Furniture Linoleum is flexible and resilient, and (apart
from acclimatisation) no preparations are required
before installing it. To prevent any undesirable
projections in its surface, ensure that the surface of the
carrier material and of the reverse side of the material
are clean. The carrier material should be free of any
irregularities or other materials that could interfere
with the flat, smooth finish.
Adhesive
The adhesive used largely depends on the manner of
installation and the intended use of the finished
product. The carrier material also plays a role. General
guidelines are given in the table below.
Manual installation of a flat surface
If a flat surface is to be covered entirely with Furniture
Linoleum:
1. Stick the slightly oversized linoleum to the carrier
material. To prevent undesirable projections
showing through, apply the adhesive with a high-
pile roller.
2. Press the linoleum firmly into position with, for
example, a hand roller.
3. Saw, mill, cut or plane the carrier material and the
linoleum together into the desired shape as soon as
the adhesive has set. Always use sharp tools.
4. If required, apply an edge by way of finishing.

16 Furniture Linoleum
Manual installation of a countersunk surface
When applied to desktops, etc., Furniture Linoleum can
be countersunk. To do so, glue the linoleum to a sheet
of MDF (approx. 6mm thick) as described on page 15
and install this combination in the pre-treated desktop.
Manual installation of a curved form
Before installing Furniture Linoleum in a curved form,
bear in mind that:
• It is easier to bend linoleum lengthways than
breadthways.
• The minimum bending diameter is 5 cm for Desk Top,
4 cm for Walton Crocodiles; if at all possible, bend the
material lengthways.
• The curved surface of the carrier material must not
contain any sharp edges.
• Porous carrier materials must be pre-treated with a
primer.
The following is the recommended method for
installing Furniture Linoleum in a curved form:
1. Apply contact adhesive to the carrier material.
2. When the adhesive on the carrier material is half set,
apply adhesive to the linoleum.
3. When the adhesive on the linoleum is half set, press
the linoleum onto the carrier material. Start pressing
at the flat end of the surface and gradually work
towards the curve.
4. Rub your hand over the surface to expel any air
bubbles. Work a small section at a time to ensure that
the linoleum is applied properly before sticking the
next section.
Cover Furniture Linoleum with tape if the edges are to
be coated. Remove the tape immediately after
varnishing. If you sand the edges, avoid damaging the
linoleum surface.
Immediately remove any residue of adhesive with
water. After the adhesive has dried, remove any hard
residues with white spirit, then immediately remove
any residue of white spirit with water.
Industrial installation
No special equipment is required to install Furniture
Linoleum. Machinery and tools suitable to install HPL
may also be used for Furniture Linoleum.
When employing a press or stacking press, ensure that
the surface of the press and of the linoleum are clean.
Furniture Linoleum can be pressed cold or warm
(maximum 70° C). The pressure will vary between 75
and 150 bars and the pressing time from 2 to 15
minutes, depending on the adhesive used.
To a certain extent, Furniture Linoleum can be stuck to
a surface which is curved in more than one direction
(e.g. the seat of a chair). Press the linoleum in a mould
together with plywood and adhesive into the desired
shape. Walton Crocodiles and Marmoleum are better
suited to this method than Desk Top.
NB: It is always advisable to carry out trials prior to
commencing actual production.
After the Furniture Linoleum has been stuck to the
carrier material, machine it to size. Techniques such as
sawing, milling, drilling, cutting and planing can be
employed. Always use sharp tools.
Finishing off edges
Any type of finish is possible with Furniture Linoleum.
Stick the edges with an adhesive that is transparent
when dry, and immediately remove any residue. Always
protect the Furniture Linoleum surface.
The easiest way to finish off edges is to cut Furniture
Linoleum off straight and to mill and varnish the edges
of the carrier material (figure a). Bevel the edges a little.
It is also possible to finish edges with a strip of
aluminium, wood or plastic, for example. (figures b and
c). Figure d shows Furniture Linoleum applied to edges;
to achieve a good result, however, this technique
requires a certain degree of both experimentation and
expertise.
As mentioned, it is possible to round off the edges with
Furniture Linoleum (figure e). Always provide an
additional 3-5 cm of linoleum at the bottom to prevent
it from coming loose due to bending stress.
This design solution, namely the combination of
tapered surface and half-round wooden strip, illustrates
the many possibilities offered by Furniture Linoleum
(Figure f ).
Figure g shows how linoleum can be applied to a
curved surface. For added decoration, a stainless steel
strip can be placed in between.
Figure h shows an aluminium strip sandwiched
between linoleum, the basis is the desk top shown in
Figure a.
Industrial rounding
In general, machinery used to bend HPL can also be
used to bend Furniture Linoleum. The maximum
temperature employed may not exceed 70°C.
