[Greenbuilding] Linoleum

[Stephen Collette]

Hello All,

Well put Chris about the Linoleum. You have described it better than  
I've ever heard. I am an environmental building consultant, and an  
inspector, so I do actually take mould samples in buildings. I  
wouldn't go as far as to say it would kill mould, as they are a bit  
different biologically than bacteria. I'm sure the free oxygen  
wouldn't make mould very happy, which is why the old battleship  
linoleum is still around in houses today. It's tough, it's natural  
and it's a great product.

Oh yes, flax and linseed are the same, so if anyone is thinking of  
making their own, I'm sure flaxoleum trade name may be available!
