Floor finishes

It's no secret that the comfort of a home directly depends on the choice of flooring. Today, the building materials market provides a wide selection of floor coverings: carpet, laminate, tile, etc. Each of them has its own unique qualities, advantages and disadvantages. Each of them is selected depending on the room (permeability, humidity, temperature difference, etc. are taken into account). Consider the most popular floor finishes, their features and photos in the interior.

Parquet

Parquet is made only of natural wood, therefore it is considered the most environmentally friendly floor covering. For the manufacture of material rare trees of hard varieties are selected that undergo special processing. That is why the cost of flooring is always high. The main advantage of the parquet is its presentable and artistic appearance. Among the shortcomings can be noted the difficulty in care, sensitivity to temperature and moisture.

Laminate

Laminate flooring is an excellent flooring solution combining practicality, decorative qualities and reasonable price. Laminate is able to imitate almost any color and texture of wood, which is very convenient when designing a room. In addition, the material can last more than 20 years, and care for it is not difficult.

Linoleum

Linoleum can be found in almost any room: whether it be a house, office or even a production room. This is due to the fact that the material has high wear resistance and durability. However, some types of material are afraid of moisture and low temperatures, and if the operating rules are not followed, linoleum may crack.

Carpet

Many people think that a carpet is a carpet, but it is not. The material is produced in rolls with unlimited length, and flooring occurs over the entire surface of the floor. There are some types of pile: long, medium and short, and depending on this, the difficulty in care changes. The carpet varies in types, properties, texture, pile and other parameters, so it can be selected for almost any room or design.

Tile

Tiles are best suited for "wet" rooms, such as the bathroom and kitchen, as they have increased wear resistance, durability, resistance to moisture and temperature changes. It is worth noting that the tile floor is quite cold, so it is recommended to connect a "warm floor" system. Today, the building materials market offers a huge number of types of tiles: from ceramic to polyvinyl chloride, and a variety of colors, textures and textures will help emphasize the design of any room.

Bulk floor

The self-leveling floor can be used both on a rough finish (for leveling the surface) and on the finish. A distinctive quality of the material is the ability to apply a 3D banner. Such a novelty perfectly emphasizes the good taste of the owner. The surface of the floor can be of various colors and textures: matte, glossy, etc.
