Longevity and health concerns are making linoleum floors popular again. The original linoleum flooring, developed in the late 1800's, was an English inventor's blend of linseed oil...hence the "lin" in linoleum...finely divided plant materials like cork or wood powder, and jute backing. Linoleum was displaced by various asphalt and vinyl flooring composites beginning in the late 1950's. treehugger
