Linoleum is a popular flooring for many years. It is hygienic, has excellent performance, inexpensive material, easy to install. Among the many species, linoleum is distinguished on a felt basis. It consists of several layers.
A protective coating is located on top, which improves wear resistance and prevents the gradual pollution of the material. The lower layer is a substrate of felt, a polyvinyl chloride with a decorative image is located in the middle. The base from the felt is characterized by a thickness of 3 to 5 mm. Such a substrate makes it possible to lay this material even on a concrete floor or when the surface is complicated by defects and small height changes.
Features of felt linoleum
The advantages of linoleum based on felt include its price, ease of installation, high noise and waterproofing, the ability to mask the surface irregularities, elasticity and comfort when walking on the material.
The disadvantages of linoleum on a felt basis include low resistance to mechanical influences, operating time limited to 10 years and low resistance to water. Such material is not used in rooms in which increased humidity remains for a long time.
The decorative layer of linoleum on a felt basis consists of polyvinyl chloride, it is performed in all kinds of patterns along the entire thickness of the material. This technology allows you to maintain the beauty of the coating for a long time.
For moist rooms or rooms with intensive loads, linoleum on a foamed basis is more suitable than felt. It is resistant to moisture, has increased thermal insulation indicators and noise absorption. A transparent film is applied on top of the layers, which protects the product from mechanical strokes and pollution. The upper layer, as well as that of felt linoleum, can be of different colors: from avant -garde to traditional.
PVC gives the product with elasticity and resistance to great loads. It is characterized by high indicators in tensile and resistance to break.
Many manufacturers introduce a linoleum layer of glass chloride into a linoleum, which provides the integrity and rigidity of the entire canvas.
The insulated linoleum perfectly combines softness, the ability to maintain heat, low abrasion, small residual deformation. It allows you to quickly and efficiently insulate and arrange any floors.
