Why Linoleum Isn't the Flooring You Need: Designer Doesn't Recommend

17.04.2024 19:34

Linoleum is a fairly popular floor covering.

According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, designer Yulia Tychino , this is due to the beautiful appearance and relatively low cost of the material.

Other, less obvious advantages include ease of installation and ease of maintenance.

However, linoleum also has significant disadvantages.

One of the main disadvantages is its ability to fade when exposed to sunlight.

The more linoleum is exposed to sunlight, the faster it loses its original color.

In addition, linoleum is prone to the formation of unsightly “waves” on its surface.

If dents from furniture have formed on the linoleum, it can no longer be restored; the entire covering will have to be replaced.

Instead of covering your apartment floors with linoleum, take a closer look at other types of flooring that are much more stylish, practical and functional.

The same laminate will fit into a modern interior much better.
