The term “Armstrong lino tiles” or “Armstrong linoleum tiles” refers to any linoleum flooring products by acclaimed multinational flooring-ceiling-cabinet manufacturer Armstrong International. Linoleum flooring is well-known worldwide for its rich and vivid colors, in contrast to the saturated look and feel of other flooring types. It is currently available from Armstrong in both sheet and tile variations. Tile linoleum, however, is more prone to warping and curling than sheet linoleum.

Here are some basic facts about Armstrong linoleum flooring:

• Genuine linoleum often lack the protective coat layer of most other vinyl products. Thus polishing on a regular basis is a must for linoleum flooring to achieve that protective layer. If stains still occur, simply reapply polish over the spot.
• Due to its main ingredient, linseed oil, linoleum flooring tends to emit a particular but harmless odor upon initial installation. This odor will dissipate over time.
• Expose linoleum samples over generous amounts of light before consolidating your flooring color design. This should allow the drying room film to dissipate from the linoleum. The drying room film is a natural effect borne out of the floor's composition.
