What are the disadvantages of Marmoleum flooring?

While Marmoleum offers many benefits, it does have some limitations to consider. The initial investment tends to be higher than some synthetic alternatives, and professional installation is strongly recommended for sheet and tile varieties. Though resistant to moisture, Marmoleum isn't completely waterproof and can sustain damage from prolonged exposure to standing water. Lastly, heavy furniture may leave indentations over time, and the surface finish may require occasional refreshing to maintain its appearance.

Is Marmoleum more expensive than vinyl flooring?

Marmoleum is a bit more expensive than standard vinyl flooring. While vinyl materials cost between $2 and $7 per square foot, Marmoleum starts around $4.75 per square foot but can cost upward of $12 per square foot. This price difference reflects Marmoleum's natural composition, sustainability, and potential longevity. Many homeowners consider the environmental benefits and durability worth the additional investment.

How long does Marmoleum flooring typically last?

With appropriate care and maintenance, Marmoleum flooring lasts between 30 and 40 years. Several factors influence its lifespan, including installation quality, maintenance practices, and environmental conditions. The flooring performs best when protected from excessive moisture and heavy furniture is fitted with protective pads. Regular cleaning with appropriate products helps preserve the surface appearance and integrity over decades of use.

Is Marmoleum flooring suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?

Marmoleum can work well in kitchens and powder rooms where moisture exposure is limited and spills are promptly addressed. However, it may not be ideal for full bathrooms with showers or tubs where standing water is common. In the kitchen, Marmoleum offers good durability against food spills and frequent foot traffic. To ensure Marmoleum flooring performs optimally and lasts longer, especially in areas prone to moisture, proper seam sealing during installation and consistent maintenance of its protective finish are crucial.

"Terrible. He broke a valve resulting in a flooded bathroom floor and left an open, leaking pipe that dripped into the basement through an open hole. My family is still without a toilet in that bathroom. The shower basin was the wrong size, so he was going to cut studs near electrical wiring to make it fit. I said that I wanted a Toto toilet. He bought a cheap brand for $150, a brand I have never heard of. We found the receipt in the bathroom. He had many reasons as to why he kept getting detained, one because he said he needed more money. The contract stated 50 percent at signing, another 25 percent upon completion of demo, and the final 25 percent on project completion. I paid him $4,550 on 12/4/2024, CASH. I paid another $1,500 on 12/21/2024 CASH, and $766 on 1/17/2025 CASH. He refused to work unless I paid him on 12/21/2024 because he said he had completed the bathroom demo, and according to the contract, $2,275 was required at completion of bathroom gutting, but the gutting was incomplete with mounds of insulation on the floor and the dumpster was still in our driveway. Even after I explained that the gutting was not complete until all debris was removed and the dumpster was gone, I still paid him, but I did this because he refused to work without this payment. When he began working again, contract specifications were not met. He continued not to show up for work, each time with an excuse, sick children, sick wife, car broke down, etc. I have never heard of a contractor who did not own a truck, but he did not. There were many warning signals, no business cards etc., but I gave him the benefit of the doubt because he had two young children. The contract was signed 12/4/2024 and I terminated his services on 2/11/2025, after 3 months without a toilet, shower, sink, etc. He was angry and threatened to sue me for breach of contract, but the more chances I gave him, the more I realized he had no clue what he was doing. Per your rating below, please clarify your scale, is 1 the best and 5 the worst? I can’t provide a rating with a clear understanding of your rating system. In the end, all he completed was the bathroom demolition. I can live with him keeping $1500 for that, even though it could have been done for much less. I would like a refund of $4,550 as he didn’t complete any work other than the demo and didn’t purchase materials that fit our bathroom requirements. Note: he is going to contest that he did spend money on supplies such as bathroom pipe pieces, toilet, shower enclosure, even though they were the wrong size. He took them from our work site. I pulled thousands of dollars from my retirement account, money that I believed would have resulted in a nice bathroom. My family has endured hardship without the bathroom, and I have been dealing with tremendous stress as a result. It is also taking me extra time to prepare this document for you, time that I need for more important priorities such as my health."
