Marmoleum Cinch Loc Seal Square - Oat 12" x 12"

Marmoleum Cinch Loc Seal Oat — 12" x 12" Click Linoleum Floor Square

Oat is a soft neutral Marmoleum Cinch Loc Seal square, 12" x 12", named after the grain and suited to calm, natural interiors. It clicks together over a prepared subfloor and has a cork backing for comfort.

Best for: bedrooms, living rooms, Scandinavian-style kitchens and as a neutral field for accent squares.

The Look

Oat suggests the warm neutral of oatmeal; Forbo lists NCS S 3010-Y20R with an LRV of 31%, a mid-depth beige rather than a pale one. It acts as a quiet foundation and works well as the field colour with bolder accent squares such as Leaf or Aqua. Forbo has not posted a colour description for Oat, so view a sample first.

Why Choose Oat

• Versatile neutral: pairs with nearly any furniture and wall colour.
• Accent-ready: a calm field for borders in bolder Cinch Loc Seal colours.
• Warm and quiet: the cork backing adds comfort.
• No plasticisers: Forbo says Marmoleum has no phthalates or mineral oil.

Installation

Oat floats on any approved subfloor that is clean, dry and structurally sound. Forbo calls for a 48-hour acclimation, a 3/8" perimeter gap, and a vapor barrier over concrete or heated floors. Stairs are not a recommended application.
