 The kitchen is a place of spiritual unity for the whole family. It is thanks to this that there is a desire to equip the kitchen not only as a convenient room for cooking, but also as a cozy lounge. Everything is important in the kitchen: ceiling, walls, furniture and floor. Kitchen flooring needs to be made practical and not devoid of home comfort. Classic options are ceramic tiles, parquet base and linoleum.
Coating from linoleum has its own set of versatile qualities. The advantages of the material are its low price and a wide color palette that can be easily matched to any interior. Linoleum drawing can have an exclusive design or imitate natural wood, marble or stone coatings.
However, this coating has several disadvantages. Direct ultraviolet radiation is contraindicated for such material, since its pattern burns out from such exposure. The coating has low durability, and prolonged contact with liquid can stain it.
Coating ceramic based are among the most popular for kitchens. The indisputable advantages of ceramics are a large selection of colors, a good level of fire resistance and strength, as well as excellent resistance to any liquid and chemicals. The ceramic coating is incredibly strong against any kind of physical impact, making it difficult to damage or scratch.
However, this coating is very cold, which deprives home comfort and warmth. In addition, the tiles have no anti-slip effect, so it is easy to slip on the surface and get injured.
Another coating that is quite common today is parquet, which has gained considerable popularity among analogues. Wood always gives a unique comfort and warmth. The parquet is equipped with a warm texture, which is pleasant to walk on, even with bare feet.
Since this coating is classified as natural, it has a number of certain disadvantages. Wood has low fire resistance and lacks protection against chemical attacks. Moving furniture can easily scratch its surface, thereby ruining its appearance. Therefore, the parquet flooring needs careful handling and careful maintenance.
Good analogs to all of the above coatings are the novelty of modern technologies - marmoleum.
The material appeared relatively recently on the domestic market and in appearance is very similar to linoleum, but it has much more advantages in its set. Marmoleum is produced on the basis of vegetable resins with the addition of cork. The color range of the material is very rich and is about two thousand shades. The positive features of this product are its natural ingredients, which help to destroy even the most dangerous pathogenic bacteria. Marmoleum has good fire resistance, resistance and various kinds of influences, including ultraviolet rays.
