All types of linoleums that today exist on sale are divided into coating with the basis and without the main. As a basis, vatin is used, which has good heat -insulating qualities. At a price it is more expensive than linoleum without a base and surpasses it in terms of service.
The thermal insulation properties of linoleum surpass all comparisons with ceramic tiles, laminate and parquet and are also characterized by lightness and springiness, is able to withstand a load of up to 3.5 kg per square meter. Linoleum coatings are also divided depending on manufacturing technology and structure to homogeneous and heterogeneous coatings.
Homogenic linoleum is a homogeneous canvas made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) with 1.5-2 mm fillers. Quartz sand, chalk and dolomite are used as a filler, these components are rolled out on the calendars. The drawing on such linoleum basically turns out to be granular and plain. The homogeneous type of flooring is used in rooms with a large pedestrian load (hospitals, shops, cafes), as it has high resistance to abrasion.
Heterogeneous linoleum is made by the multilayer method, it includes glass chloride, which gives the flooring special strength. This type of linoleum is more difficult to produce, so the price of it is higher than the homogeneous coating. The color palette of linoleum does not know the boundaries, which represents great opportunities for the design of the premises.
Linoleum coatings are also divided into household, semi -commercial and commercial. Household linoleum covers the floors in residential premises. As a rule, this type has a heterogeneous structure with a protective layer up to 0.35 mm and a very rich color choice.
Commercial linoleum is used in public buildings, it is particularly durable due to the fact that the protection layer exceeds the layer of household linoleum and the thickness of the canvas larger.
Paul Commercial type of coverage in the market of floor flooring exists relatively recently, but is popular, since it is much stronger than household and at a price slightly lower than a commercial. Suitable, practically, for any premises, both for household, office, and for hospitals and school premises.
Linoleum, as a flooring, has a huge demand in the building materials market, as it is easy to lay and practical in operation and care.
