Thanks very much--now why couldn't I locate those?! If anyone has linoleum options, I would be grateful!

I hope this is a temporary solution? Or better even if it is temporary

( excellent review on the site by the way )

Assuming you're in the US: For linoleum (as distinct from vinyl), try Forbo - Marmoleum, and Gerflor - USA. If you're in the NYC metro area, you can also try NYC Flooring Group.

I'm no expert, but based on what I see on the websites for the aforementioned companies, I don't think you will find a pure white linoleum. I'm not sure you'll find white at all, nor a solid color with absolutely no pattern.

You may want to expand your search to include cork flooring, which—like linoleum—is a green product. Cork is actually an ingredient of linoleum. [EDITED TO ADD] You'll likely find the same issues with color and pattern. If you want a pure white floor, I think you may want to consider porcelain.

Incidentally, Armstrong used be known for linoleum, but they seem to have abandoned it and gone all in on vinyl and other types of flooring.

FWIW: I have sheet linoleum with an inlaid border in my kitchen, and I love it. But it took a bit of finding, and then my contractor had to find craftsmen who knew how to install it.

Forbo........ all speckled : ) yes all. speckled

Thank you, Jan Moyer for the Falquon Artic White suggestion--this looks perfect! And you are right, an even better option than sticky tiles or linoleum. I'm going to order a sample asap.

you will never find pure white linoleum. It has to do the materials used to create it. It's never pure white.

Tiles are your best bet.

Good Luck! Let us know how it turns out!
