Brother in law has his kitchen done like that its not lino its a painted on (more poured and rolled out). Its an epoxy resin rather than paint and you can have all sorts of colours and finishes. Check youtube if you want to see how its done.

Cool. No this is actually linoleum I can see it was glued and corners stretched probably with the heat gun. Someone just cleaned hence the shine on the picture

The Continental Op

I still think its epoxy, the corners have to be done by hand so they look slightly different.

It’s a product off a roll. The rolled edges are created via a moulding piece underneath.

Real linoleum or "lino" is a natural product made from solidified linseed oil and a variety of fillers, 100% totally unsuitable for a wet environment such as a shower room. It is water resistant to a certain degree, but certainly not waterproof. Many people refer to modern vinyl floor coverings as lino(leum) though hence the confusion.
