Modern parquet and laminate flooring
Flooring from parquet board and laminate, in its composition has something in common.
In both cases, this coating has a multilayer structure and a decorative effect in imitation of wood.
Such floors are a priority for residential premises, occupy an important component in creating coziness and comfort.
A quality laminate is very difficult to distinguish from natural parquetMoreover, its surface is harder than that of parquet.
However, the laminate is not scratch resistant and cannot be repaired.
The disadvantage of both floors is the instability to dampness.
Modern manufacturers have created a new generation of Aqua Floor laminate - it is a fully synthetic material and it has excellent water resistance, it is permissible to lay it even in the bathroom.
A modern parquet board is made using waterproof wood (merbau), such a parquet board is glued to the entire floor surface, then the surface is treated with oil with hard wax - this parquet can be laid even where water splashes fall.
Polyurethane - a new synthetic material
PVC flooring is highly durable and water resistant, but in case of fire this material is not safe for humans.
Modern manufacturers have launched a new artificial polyurethane coatings.
Polyurethane flooring It has high wear resistance, higher than PVC.
The new polyurethane flooring is an environmentally friendly material, it is good to use it even in children's and playrooms.
Modern tile
The tile has high moisture resistance and hardness - it is still the leader of flooring in the hallway, kitchen and bathroom.
But there is also a novelty among the tiles - this is a tile with a plastic or rubberized base, in addition, it has a special lock.
Using the lock, the tile flooring is connected, after which the seams are closed, the baseboard is installed and the floor is ready.
Such tiles can even be installed on old linoleum.
The main requirement is that the floor must be flat and solid.
New in Cork
Traditional cork coating involves an adhesive method.
The modern cork coating has glueless edge locks.
This coating has a great perspective, but is not suitable for rooms with high humidity.
To seal the cork tightly, it must be glued to the base over the entire surface, and fill the seams with an elastic mass.
Contemporary carpet
Carpet covering displaced from everyday life.
One of the reasons for lack of demand carpet - accumulation of dust and ticks, which requires enhanced floor care.
Now cork coverings, polyurethane coverings, natural linoleum, etc.
Kitchen flooring
The kitchen is still a room on the floor which often gets a lot of water.
Therefore, for the kitchen, ceramic flooring and polyurethane floors are still relevant.
Lay the tile with glueless joint well.
Polyurethane resin bulk floors look gorgeous.
Experts advise the kitchen flooring to be made of tiles with a glueless joint or splurge on synthetic polyurethane floors.
Flooring for the living room
The flooring of the living room carries a fairly decent load.
In addition to durability, flooring should create comfort, easy to clean.
You can put a modern laminate on the floor - solid and durable, completely simulates parquet, at a price much cheaper.
But the laminate is not a repairable material, but the parquet is laid for a long time, with proper care it can last more than a dozen years, so experts advise laying in the living room on the floor parquet board or solid wood parquet.
Hallway flooring
The dirtiest place in the house is the entrance hall.
In this room, not only increased dirt, but also moisture.
The flooring for the hallway cannot be a laminate, parquet and parquet board.
The ceramic tile is rather thick and this is the reason for the impossibility of installing a standard door, because you will have to shorten the door leaf.
Porcelain tile is ideal for flooring the hallway; its thickness is only 8-10 mm.
Of course, porcelain stoneware does not have a variety of colors, compared to tile, but modern porcelain stoneware has a pretty decent color choice.
Experts advise the entrance hall to make porcelain stoneware with a thin layer of tile adhesive.
Floor covering for a bedroom
The flooring of the bedroom carries light loads.
The main thing for this coating is environmental friendliness, comfort and warmth.
Previously, carpet was laid, but due to dust and ticks, at present, such a floor is not relevant.
Therefore, experts advise in the bedroom to lay the floor from a parquet board or solid wood parquet.
Good cork floor with glueless joint.
Flooring for the bathroom
The bathroom always places high demands on flooring.
Permanent moisture penetrates the smallest joints and cracks; changing humidity does not allow the use of wood materials.
Like it or not, tile is indispensable for the bathroom.
Experts recommend ceramic tiles with anti-slip coating.
Floor covering for a nursery
In children's rooms, a very important requirement for flooring is ease of maintenance, the possibility of wet cleaning, environmental friendliness and decorativeness.
Well-proven coatings made of polyurethane, cork, natural linoleum or a modern high-class laminate.
Specialists prefer natural linoleum.
