You can use Marmoleum in the garage, but not as flooring for traditional garage uses.
International Residential Code R309.3, says garage flooring must be an “approved, non-combustible material,” according to the International Association of Certified Home Inspectors.
In addition, oils and fluids that drip from cars can eventually erode the linoleum's adhesive backing. Also, prolonged exposure to moisture from sleet, snow and rain can damage linoleum. While you cannot use marmoleum as garage flooring where you park, it does have useful garage applications if the area maintains a temperature of at least 55 degrees. Temperature control will keep the linoleum in favorable condition for at least 40 years.
