Tarkett linoleum joint tapes | Heat-sealing of 4 mm joints

Linoleum is a natural material, made from linseed oil, resins, wood flour and jute, and its joints require their own bonding. Tarkett’s linoleum strips are bonded using hot air at approximately 450 °C – a higher temperature than that used for vinyl strips – within a ‘U’ shape up to 3.5 mm wide and 2 mm deep, which extends slightly above the jute. The result is a seamless surface with no open joints, where dirt and moisture cannot accumulate, and the edges do not ‘lift’ under foot traffic. Each colour of linoleum has its own single-colour edging. Marbled designs also come in a multicoloured version, which makes the joint almost invisible.

At ARGYNET, the edging is supplied with every linoleum installation in schools, nurseries, clinics, offices and healthcare facilities. Along with the flooring quote, we provide the edging code for each colour and the quantity in 50-metre rolls. Bonding takes place 24–48 hours after installation. With the acoustic Linoleum Silencio xf, the grooving must never reach the foam layer.
