Marmoleum MCT - Leaf 3260

Marmoleum Composition Tile (MCT) is a homogeneous floor covering made from natural ingredients including linseed oil, rosin binders, wood flour, limestone and dry pigments which are mixed and then calendared onto a polyester backing to ensure optimum dimensional stability. Topshield2 is a high-performance finish. Its UV-cured, double-layer technology delivers extraordinary performance and clear and vibrant colors that remain over time. Topshield2 creates a ready-to-use Marmoleum floor that requires no initial maintenance or polymer application. The surface can be repaired or refreshed in cases of accidents or after years of intensive use. MCT's inherent anti-static properties repel dust and dirt, making it easy to clean, reducing exposure to allergens, and contributing to better indoor air quality. MCT also features inherent antimicrobial properties that halt the breeding of harmful micro-organisms, including MRSA and C-difficile. MCT is USDA-certified as a bio-based flooring option. MCT is backed by a 30-year limited commercial warranty.

The installation should not begin until the work of all other trades has been completed, especially overhead trades. Any areas to receive material should be adequately lighted to allow for proper inspection of the substrate, installation, seaming and for final inspection. Subfloor Preparation: See installation guide for details. Installing: Be sure to only use material from the same batch/dye lot. Mix tiles from several different boxes within the same batch/dye lot.
