What type of flooring is this?

[oskarsch]

Hello!

Found this floor under the parquet in our hallway. The house is from 1964. It is not stone. Seems to crack relatively easily and is laid in tiles.

What material is it?

Are you sure it's not wood?
I think it looks like formplywood, the type used for concrete casting with a coating/surface that is supposed to withstand moisture and prevent the concrete from sticking.

Isn't it linoleum mat?

It's tiles. And it's kind of a marble pattern... Can you see it in the pictures? It's both dirt and a marble pattern.

In the 60s, it was common to have PVC tiles in kitchens and halls, and they are a few mm thick and often glued with asbestos-containing black adhesive.

Feared it.. Is it vinyl-asbestos?

If it has jute fabric on the underside, it is linoleum. If it doesn't, then it might be, based on the 1963 edition of House and Garden, a Forshaga Colovinyl tile.
