Description
Floor covering usually shipped in rolls covered with paper with ends protected.
Heavy pressure applied to bales of linoleum may result in internal damage without leaving external evidence of crushing. This happens because the inside laps, being rolled on a smaller radius, are naturally sharply curved and more quickly broken when that curve is further bent by crushing; the outside laps on the other hand will stand a fair amount of further bending before reaching breaking point. Should not be overstowed with heavy goods.
If Rockfelt Base Linoleum is stowed in warm of heated areas, layers of rolls tend to adhere and rolls of printed patterns often adhere to the underside of the overlapping layer.
Cracking may be the result of linoleum being exposed to conditions of extreme cold. Low temperatures have the effect of freezing the oils in the linoleum and so cause cracking. Linoleum which has been subject to low temperatures should be removed to a warm place as soon as possible.
