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 "designed for bathrooms and kitchens", but they look just as good in a living room, for example. When properly selected with the right pattern and texture, they can look very impressive on large surfaces. They can be used together with underfloor heating.
Flexible flooring (also known as PVC flooring, linoleum, or rubber flooring).
Special attention should be paid to carpets that imitate wood or concrete and are decorated with bold geometric patterns (see photo). PVC carpets can be laid on almost any type of substrate: concrete screed, old tiles, or panels. Some can even work as a finish for floors with underfloor heating.
Linoleum and marmoleum
Despite the similar name to rubber flooring, this is 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 rubber flooring.
Resin flooring
This solution was recently mainly associated with production halls and other industrial premises. Today, it is slowly making its way into 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. They are 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, thus recommended for use with underfloor heating. It can be poured on-site or laid with ready-made prefabricated elements.
