Declaration covers Marmoleum sheet at 2.0, 2.5 and 3.2 mm and reports each thickness in its own table. The staged -1.57 kgCO2e is the 2.5 mm result (Table 3); 2.0 mm is -1.27 (Table 4) and 3.2 mm is -2.02 (Table 5). Marmoleum Real is also sold at 4.0 mm, which this declaration does not cover. The displayed value must follow the selected thickness.

* A4/A5 are EPD scenarios, not project-specific results. Module nomenclature follows BS EN 15978 / EN 15804. Declared values are suitable as inputs to a whole life carbon assessment under the RICS Professional Standard (2nd edition); this panel is not an assessment.

Service Life — the B4 Replacement Input

1 year · EPD reference service life

RECORDED AS DECLARED, NOT AS EXPECTED LIFE. The declaration sets a reference service life of one year and models the use stage over that year, because the cleaning and maintenance impacts are declared per year. The declaration says outright that the service lifetime of a floor covering is too widespread to give one number, and that the use-phase impacts should be multiplied by the life the specifier foresees. A linoleum floor is specified to last decades.

≈60 installations over a 60-year building study period.

B4 (replacement) follows the building, not the product: an assessor multiplies replacement cycles by project quantities. This record supplies the service life and does not compute B4.

Comparison Status

The record contains the basic metadata required for a controlled comparison. Products must still perform the same function and use compatible units, PCRs and lifecycle scope.

Evidence Gaps

  • No A4–D lifecycle results are held beyond the product stage.
  • 3 sustainability claims are withheld because exact public evidence is not mapped.

Design & Specification Notes

Qualitative notes for early design discussion. Not product-specific EPD evidence, and not a basis for numerical comparison.

Classic marbled linoleum sheet, made from up to 98% natural raw materials with a jaspé blend of individual colour tones that reads as a soft, graded marbling.

Typical Uses

  • Primary flooring
  • High-traffic circulation
  • Work areas

Key Performance

Hard-wearing surface for high footfall.

Specification Actions

  • Confirm the current EPD covers the selected product, finish and manufacturing route.
  • Calculate transport distances for primary materials.
  • Document material reuse or reclaimed content percentages.

Indicative Health & Indoor Air

low Risk

Made predominantly from linseed oil, wood flour, rosin and jute. Naturally bacteriostatic; no plasticisers.
