How to choose the right linoleum: depends on the room
Safe, unpretentious and inexpensive. Can you guess which floor covering we are talking about? Of course, linoleum.
Another advantage of this material is its wide range. The expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino, told how to behave when buying linoleum.
So, if you have decided to cover the floor with linoleum, the first thing you should do when you come to the store is to name the room for which this floor covering was chosen.
If you are going to use linoleum in a child's room, kitchen, hallway, bathroom or toilet, ask to see commercial linoleum. A specialist working at a retail outlet should advise you on moisture-resistant linoleum, the thickness of which is 3 mm.
In addition to the listed characteristics, it would not hurt if the linoleum had an anti-slip coating.
If the linoleum is intended for a living room, office or bedroom, you can settle for semi-commercial linoleum with a thickness of 1.5-2 mm.
In this case, it is worth taking into account such characteristics as decorativeness, sound and heat insulation.
Finally, if you have active children or equally active pets with sharp claws, take a closer look at semi-commercial or commercial linoleum, which has an additional protective layer applied to it.
