Flooring for the room

Parquet

Parquet - The most expensive way to finish the floor, because it is a natural and environmentally friendly floor covering. Moreover, high-quality parquet is made only from solid varieties of trees. The main advantage is its artistic appearance and unique texture, which can decorate and complement almost any interior. But do not forget that the tree requires special care. Such a floor is sensitive to moisture and temperature changes, therefore, it periodically requires additional surface treatment (varnishing, grinding, etc.)

 

Laminate

Laminate - A practical replacement for parquet, the material has abrasion resistance, durability and fire resistance. Unlike parquet, the laminate does not require additional processing, while such a floor is easy to clean and has an attractive appearance.

Self-leveling floors

Bulk floor It can be a preparatory screed for laminate, linoleum, etc., and it can also act as a finishing floor covering (minimum thickness can be 4 mm). The basis of the material is a self-leveling mixture, so this floor has a perfectly smooth surface. The main feature of the material is the ability to apply a 3D pattern, which makes it unique among other floor coverings.

 

Linoleum

Linoleum - A convenient and relatively inexpensive option for finishing the floor. Such qualities as practicality, heat and sound insulation properties, ease of care justify its popularity among other finishing materials. Among the disadvantages, low resistance to low temperatures can be distinguished: the material hardens and crackes.

 

Carpet

Carpet - A warm and comfortable option for finishing the floor, unlike a carpet, its flooring is carried out over the entire surface of the floor. There are various types of carpeting: with long, medium and short pile. Also, depending on the type of material, it can differ in its technical qualities.

 

Tile

Tile It has a number of advantages and is widely popular, but most of all, the material is appreciated for its resistance to moisture and temperature extremes. The main disadvantage is the low heat transfer of the material, so you should connect the system in advance warm floor.
