Which floor is better to make in the apartment?
When choosing which floor to put in the apartment, evaluate three main criteria:

Choosing linoleum
Linoleum has been and remains the most popular material for floor coverings in Russia and neighboring countries. Its history goes back a century and a half. Linoleum attracts customers with a variety of design solutions, ease of care and installation. Modern technologies make it possible to bring the appearance of the surface as close as possible to natural materials (“Living Structure” technology).
The durable material muffles the sound of footsteps and is pleasant to the touch. And it does not require special care: dust and dirt are easily washed off with ordinary warm water or solutions of soft detergents intended for washing floors.
Tips for choosing household linoleum:
It is necessary to decide in which room the linoleum will fit. Based on this, the collection is selected. For example, the bedroom is a room with a low operational load, and the kitchen and corridor are high. Accordingly, linoleum with the thickest protective layer should be chosen in the corridor, for example from 0.35 to 0.5 mm. When laying in unheated country houses and cottages, linoleum is needed that can withstand temperature changes, so you need to pay attention to collections on a duplicated basis.
It is necessary to measure the room and determine the size of the canvas. When calculating, it is worth considering the presence of thresholds, niches and protrusions. The width of the canvas must match the width of the room (with tolerances for trimming). If the room is wider than the maximum possible size of the canvas, then it is possible to dock canvases of different sizes using cold welding.
In winter, it is recommended to buy linoleum only in heated rooms.
Collections with an additional protective varnish are easier to care for and retain their original appearance longer.
