Walking firmly on the floor, or what to choose for the flooring when finishing your own apartment - part 2
Floor finishing in the apartment
Today is the second part of the post about materials for floor finishing. Here you will discover some interesting and unconventional solutions.
Tiles
A material labeled "intended for bathrooms and kitchens," but they look just as good, for example, in the living room. When properly selected with the right pattern and texture, they can present very well on large surfaces. They can be used with underfloor heating.
Flexible flooring (also known as PVC flooring, linoleum, or gumoleum).
Particularly noteworthy are the floorings that imitate wood or concrete and are decorated with bold, geometric patterns (see photo). PVC floorings can be installed on almost any type of substrate: concrete screeds, old tiles, or panels. Some will even work well as flooring with underfloor heating.
Linoleum and marmoleum
Despite the similar name to gumoleum, they are not the same. This flooring is made exclusively from natural materials, including flax fibers, wood flour, and jute fabric. A much more expensive solution compared to gumoleum.
Resin flooring
This solution was previously mainly associated with production halls and other industrial spaces. Today, it is slowly entering homes and apartments. Its seemingly raw appearance can create a very interesting effect when combined with modern decor. An advantage is that the floor is uniform without any joints or seams. Resin has excellent physical properties - mechanical and chemical resistance. It is suitable for use with underfloor heating systems. An additional plus is that directly on the resin, if we decide to renovate, we can lay any of the materials mentioned above.
Concrete flooring
Also previously uncommon in residential construction, it fits just like resin mainly into modern arrangements. The floor is cool, so it is recommended for use with underfloor heating. It can be poured on-site or laid with ready-made prefabricated elements.
