Bolon woven vinyl flooring addition
February 28th, 2007 by Jim Homet
We are in the process of negotiating to carry Bolon® woven vinyl rugs. We reviewed a number of lines of woven vinyl rugs, and chose Bolon from Bolon AB because we thought they had the best product line, and a very stable company backing that line up.
Bolon AB invented woven vinyl flooring. The company is from Sweden, and is family owned. They have been in the flooring business since 1949, and are recognized as the world leader in woven vinyl flooring.

Bolon is well known in Europe where it has been used for some time in challenging locations such as retail, hospitality and office applications. Bolon has been used in Armani’s flagship store in Milan as well as on Giorgio Armani’s private Yacht, Cartier’s premier store in Monte Carlo, and Le Meridian Hotel along the French Riviera, and here in America in Trump’s national golf course in Westchester county, New York.
Bolon is designed to look like natural fibers, but can be used in locations where natural fibers just aren’t suitable - like bathrooms, mudrooms, laundry rooms, basements and covered porches.
In researching the product, I came across an HGTV video featuring a homeowner installation of Bolon wall to wall in a bathroom. The video gives a fairly good overview of installing Bolon wall to wall in a small room, and goes over cleaning and maintenance issues as well.
Hopefully we’ll be up and running with the product this coming weekend. In the meantime, please let us know if you have any questions about Bolon or any of our natural fiber rugs.
