	The earliest form of resilient flooring is rubber. The use of rubber for flooring was first recorded in the 12th and 13th centuries, but it became more widely adopted after Frank Furness patented the first interlocking rubber floor tiles in 1896.

−	Linoleum was patented as a flooring material by Frederick Walton in 1860 and became popular shortly after its introduction. Its use declined after World War II, but it is currently experiencing a revival, due to its environmental performance. Most linoleum products are made from natural components - linseed oil, wood, limestone, cork and resins.

	Shortly after it was introduced around 1900, cork flooring became the most popular resilient option. Mastic asphalt flooring was introduced around the same time and became widely used up until the 1950s. For more information see: [[Mastic_asphalt_flooring\|Mastic asphalt flooring]].
