The most walk-through room in any living room is the entrance hall. The floor in it often experiences high loads, as it is regularly influenced by particles of dirt and sand, which have an abrasive property. In order for the floors in the hallway not to lose their appearance, you need to carefully consider the selection of finishing material for it. To understand which coatings should not be used, it is necessary to consider all types of finishes used for the hallway.
Ceramic tiles or porcelain tiles are quite popular as floor finishes. The strength of ceramics can withstand very high regular loads. The tile is durable and easy to clean. All these qualities are especially important for the hallway of the room.
The laminate is in no less demand among consumers. It has moderate endurance to loads, good thermal insulation, wear resistance and is easy to install.
Parquet board is very similar in its properties to the laminate. It is easy to assemble, has good durability and excellent aesthetic qualities.
Both laminate flooring and parquet are characterized by common significant flaws. Both materials are susceptible to rapid mashing due to abrasive. Not infrequently, from the influence of detergents, the board begins to turn yellow. The coating has little protection against moisture, which when flowing through the connection of the lamellas often leads to unsuitable flooring.
The carpet is an analogue of the usual carpet. For its production, natural or synthetic material is used. Although the carpet life claimed by the manufacturers reaches 10-15 years, for the hallway this will be one of the worst options. To the extent that it has a high moisture absorption property, its cleaning will cause many difficulties. In addition, all the dirt and sand from the shoes will certainly get stuck in it. Regular exposure to moisture can quickly ruin a carpet.
Often the floor of the hallway is covered with linoleum. This material belongs to a number of classic, as it has been used for quite some time. He is not afraid of water, is well washed and is able to last up to 10 years, even in intensive use. The key to long service linoleum is a perfectly flat floor. In this case, linoleum will not “play” underfoot, which often becomes the cause of its damage.
Having examined the most popular materials for flooring, we can confidently say that the most unsuccessful flooring for the entrance hall is carpet, laminate and parquet. Of course, in the absence of an alternative, you can use these materials, but you should always remember that they can become unusable early under the influence of negative factors.
