Floor cover for the house: choose the best
Today, there is a wide choice on the marketFloor coverings, which can satisfy the demands of even the most demanding customers. In this case very often it happens that it is rather difficult to determine what flooring is better to use. In this article we will try to disassemble the advantages and disadvantages of each type of flooring and give some recommendations on which one to choose.
Types of floor coverings
Laminate (parquet board, floor board) - the mainadvantages of this material are attractive appearance, environmental friendliness, reliability and durability. However, all these characteristics are applicable only to the laminate of the middle and premium class. The main drawbacks of this material are a fairly high price per square meter, a more complicated laying process than other materials, and increased requirements for maintenance during operation.
In addition, laminated parquet economy classOver time, it can begin to creak or even swell at the joints. Thus, if you like this particular material, we recommend choosing a laminate from the middle price segment and trusting its packing only to those who have already done it repeatedly, otherwise - you may have a lot of problems in the course of operation.
Meanwhile, in most cases, if allit is made correctly, such floor coverings reviews get the most flattering, since they can last much longer than any others (on average, up to 10 years).
Linoleum - one of the most common types of floorcoatings. The main advantages of these floor coverings are low prices, a wide choice of colors, ease of installation and operation, and a wide range of applications. To date, there is a huge number of types and classes of linoleums, which allows you to use them both in everyday life and in commercial organizations.
At the same time, linoleum is made frompolyvinyl chloride, that is, in fact it is plastic, which was given certain properties. Therefore, no natural materials can be discussed. Naturally, here, as in the previous case, the service life largely depends on the quality of the coating.
In addition, when choosing linoleum, shouldconsider the conditions in which it is planned to operate it. The service life of this flooring directly depends on the loads, the quality of the material itself, as well as the correct laying, and on average is 5 years.
Carpeting and carpeting - also quite popular in our country,because they have a sufficiently high level of thermal insulation. The main advantage of this material is, of course, that such a floor covering looks more attractive in living rooms and creates a cozy atmosphere.
In addition, for such a coating significantlyit is more pleasant to walk barefoot, especially when the floors were originally cold. Today you can find carpeting from both natural materials (for example, wool) and synthetic (polyamide, polypropylene). Also in recent years, manufacturers are increasingly connecting different types of materials in order to achieve the best performance.
The main advantages of this materialare low price, easy to install, attractive appearance and high thermal insulation characteristics. The main drawbacks are manifested in the process of exploitation, since the pile of the carpet is extremely difficult to clean.
Even with the most modern detergents, it is extremely difficult to clean the carpet from the microorganisms that have settled there (and they like to live in a pile).
