Which floor covering to choose for the kitchen? This question worries many, and the choice usually falls between linoleum and ceramic tiles. Let us consider in which cases linoleum is more suitable, and in which tiles, as well as the positive and negative aspects of these materials. So, linoleum. It can be a “economical” class or better. From a financial point of view, high -quality linoleums are almost identical to ceramic tiles. The surface of elite linoleum is much stronger and will serve you longer than linoleum of the economical class. It is thicker and softer, which restrains the cold from the concrete screed of the floor, making it warmer. Unlike elite and expensive linoleums, linoleum of the economical class is deprived of these qualities, quickly wear out and holds the floor with cold. But, on the other hand, for many it is more affordable when the replacement of linoleum does not cause much harm to a limited budget.
Now about the ceramic coverage of the floor for the kitchen room. If the “warm floor” is mounted in the kitchen, or low -quality freons and water constantly stems on your refrigerator, then ceramic tiles should definitely be a coating, since it conducts heat emanating from heating elements and moisture resistant. But in the kitchen it is better to refrain about the glossy flooring, since with its slightest moisturization, it becomes slippery and dangerous. To avoid such problems, it is better to purchase tiles with a matte coating of class “A”, which is characterized by increased strength.
