Homogeneous Linoleum - what is it?

One of the most popular types of flooring is linoleum. His history of the development began some time ago, and since he gets every year the best performance. It should be noted that this material has passed a pretty impressive way of development from conventional prosmolonnoy tissue and to a coating which provides a high level of sustainability indicators. The average period of operation is in the range of 10-15 years. We should also highlight the homogeneous linoleum, which has superior performance when used in areas with high permeability, for example, it may be objects commercial or educational institutions.

We will understand the terminology in

A homogeneous linoleum is a homogeneous material. The name was assigned due to the fact that the structure is homogeneous throughout its thickness. There are no layers, such as, for example, in heterogeneous. Print turns one and it allows you to save according to the manufacturer specifications for the entire period of operation.

It is thanks to its characteristics, this option is very often choose products for decorating floors in children's bedrooms, playrooms and other places with high level of traffic.

If viewed from the perspective of operational parameters, it can be argued that this option is eternal. Drawing on over a long period of time does not lose brightness. If it be that in some places will be reduced thickness of the coating, it can be corrected. For this purpose, building technology, it is possible to produce even at home.

IMPORTANT. A distinctive feature is the complete absence of any connections, the gaps between the blades. For compound coating is soldered using a special welding. This eliminates the likelihood of dirt and debris between the joints. Will not form mounds and folds.

Main advantages

This type of flooring can be equally successfully used both in home and in business. Among the benefits is to provide the following:

• The high degree of durability.
• The high degree of fire safety.
• The lack of odor.
• Long service life.
• Withstands chemicals.
• It has anti-static effect.

Such material is capable of withstanding very high loads. He is not able to absorb moisture and does not deform. Caring for them is simple.

Features flooring

This type of linoleum consists of the following components:

• PVC (polyvinyl chloride).
• Plasticizers. They needed to give the material elasticity and spring.
• Dolomite. The use of this component allows you to increase the performance of refractory coatings, it is also unnecessary chilling effect in the house of insects.
• Chalk and lime.
• Quartz sand. The coating becomes soft shades.

Each of these components is very important and the exclusion of one of them will radically change the characteristics of the product.

In order to make the raised floor covering of the strength manufacturer does topsheet polyurethane and polyacrylate. This layer is embedded not only in the general structure of the product, which is why it can be bowed to abrasion. If during operation the layer was subjected to heavy wear and storsya, it is quite possible to restore. The specialists used special formulations. Otherwise, it is possible and further use of the flooring can not be restored, its characteristics do not greatly deteriorate.

Natural linoleum manufacturer produces this type. In the production of which is used jute, linseed oil and resin, wood flour. The composition of natural ingredients are in a ratio of 99 to 1 with the other.

REFERENCE. The peculiarity of this material - the ability to recover with the active operation. To do this, use a sander.

material variety

This kind of material can be divided into specific subtypes. They are divided according to the presence or absence of bases, as are the other options.

The unique composition allows you to make really high levels of strength, the material will be very difficult to push or break. The presence of polyurethane allows to give softness.

This reinforced material and its main difference is the price, it will be twice higher than the cost of conventional material. durability index is within the class of 33-43. This commercial floor covering.

This type of flooring can be used in commercial applications where high performance is very important to the stability of the active service, as well as at home. Even choosing a homogenous linoleum for the house you can be sure that get really reliable material that will last you for many years and do not lose at the same time declared by the manufacturer characteristics. Such a decision rationally.
