What we, as usual, call linoleum, is in essence, because this material should be called PVC Cover. Such a coating is quite aesthetically pleasing, durable and at the same time is relatively inexpensive, in view of this it is very popular today on the market. These properties make it possible to install it in many various rooms, such as, for example: in offices, medical and school institutions, on catering units.
The following types of flooring are currently created: alkyd, rubber polyvinyl chloride, nitro -cellulose.
Natural linoleum is made of natural raw materials: limestone, wood flour, wood resin and jet fabric linseed oil.
The advantages of the floor flooring of PVC-linoleum can be classified:
– Lightness of styling
– a long period of use, since with proper operation it can retain its properties up to 45 years, although its shade may change
– small thermal conductivity allows you to keep the floor in a warm state
– has the ability to absorb noise
– An acceptable price
– variety of drawings and colors
– High resistance to fluid effect
– Able to prevent sliding
Among other things, linoleum may have certain disadvantages:
– poorly withstands severity
– not environmentally friendly, as it can be made using certain chemical compounds
– susceptible to extremely high and low temperatures (capable of crumbles)
Unfortunately, linoleum does not differ in decorative wealth as a wooden, but progressive technological processes allow firms to perform products, the sketch of which copies the appearance of limestone, marble, granite, wood, tiles of parquet. In its appearance, the synthetic flooring may almost differ from the popular laminate, because its imitation is quite high -quality and real, especially since linoleum does not require such a careful attitude compared to the last.
