Dear Sir / Madame
I would like to know where I could buy your product in Ireland.
Thanks,S

One important note is that not only can Bolon be installed wall to wall but we have the ability to produce bound area rugs using faux leather or Bolon. Many people who have dust mite and mold allergies are finding that the Bolon is an excellent alternative to traditional carpeting.
Cleaning is with a regular vacuum and steam cleaning just like you would do with a carpeted floor.
Keep an eye out for the new Ethnic patterns and colors for summer 2006!

Dear sirs:

We are a spanish company (SUMIGRAN) who sell these products, specially BOLON flooring, and we can distribute this product in Europe.

Thank you very much

Wow, the final product is only 35% oil! Covering a floor with non-renewable resources is:

NOT GREEN.

Thanks MrGreen for raising the issue. I'll add that vinyl (a.k.a., PVC, the "poison plastic") is, in any application:

NOT GREEN.

All sorts of nasty off-gassing; no way to dispose of it without leaching mercury, dioxins, phthalates; really problematic in its manufacture. "No vinyl, that's final!"

i LOVE this stuff... even if "not green" ... i have a long yellow runner in my kitchen. and I will have it forever... it doesn't wear... you can hose it down/wipe it off and the kind i have looks sisal-y -- and god knows sisal wears, stains and deteriorates... you always see rolled up sisal getting thrown out on the street. better to buy a runner once -- that can hold up!

Two things:

1) I have a ton of Bolon in my small, cool (2007 AT honorable mention!) apartment -- about which, by the way, I wrote THIS OLD HOUSE photo-gallery article that was published online just last week. Check it out at http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/interiors/gallery/0,25895,1629897,00.html. Like Amy, I must confess that I love this stuff.

2) That said, however, I'll admit that at the time I started purchasing it, I hadn't seen the award-winning documentary "Blue Vinyl", which is definitely worth a look. Check out their website at
http://www.bluevinyl.org/animation.htm. Had I known then what I know now about vinyl's "life" cycle...

What is the underside like? Why does it not need a pad underneath? We have dark wood floors which show scratches from things as innocuous as toast crumbs stuck under a chair leg and being dragged across the floor. I'd like to put some of this stuff down under my dining room table but not if it is going to scratch up the floor underneath.

oh my gosh, snot, i have INCREDIBLY soft wood for flooring, too. i was moving a table - a table so cheap and so ugly (almost as if it were made out of two pieces of cardboard with aluminum legs stuck in between them) that i have to cover it with extra slip cover fabric - and there was a peice of dry cat food stuck under one foot and it made a long scratch in the floor. Food. Food scratched my floor.

DanielPS3 -- I see from your link that you have cats. How does the Bolon hold up to scratching?

Can this really be used outdoors year-round? Will it withstand snow and rain?

AT GET GREEN WE DON'T DO VINYL ANY MORE ...MAJERAL

Ah, I also need an answer to the claw question... Does anyone know how Bolon does in a home with a cat?
