Linoleum is a green choice because it’s made from natural stuff like linseed oil and wood flour. It’s a hit with people who care about the planet. Vinyl, on the other hand, is made from oil and is not natural, but it’s waterproof. That’s why many choose vinyl for places like kitchens and bathrooms where spills happen. Vinyl also works great on upper floors because it stops water from leaking down.

Both linoleum and vinyl last a long time and are easy to care for, but they’re different in quality. Linoleum doesn’t fade as much because its color goes deep into the layers, keeping it protected. Linoleum has a classy look that stands out.
