Finishing material for the floor must meet many criteria associated with the operational characteristics of the room. So, in the entrance areas the floor should be strong and durable, and living rooms - warm and stylish. Premises in which children live are desirable to equip with a natural elastic coating. So, what flooring to choose for a particular room? About this below.
Bathroom
When arranging the floor in the bathroom and the shower, try to select materials that have water-repellent and anti-slip properties. The following types of flooring meet these criteria:
- Ceramic tiles . Is most popular. They have an attractive appearance, do not deform with time and do not absorb moisture. In addition, many firms produce tile sets for floors and walls, so the consumer will not have to suffer with the selection of finishing materials.
- Underground floor . For its arrangement a fast-hardening polymer mass is used. It makes the surface strong and perfectly even. An important advantage of this material is that it can be combined with photo wallpapers and other decorative ornaments. Disadvantages of the filling floor : expensive installation and difficulties in re-equipment of the room in the future.
- Laminate flooring . It makes the floor warm and pleasant to the touch, fills the room with a special home cosiness. But note that the laminate does not tolerate a constant accumulation of liquid and condensate, so after each bathing the room should be ventilated and remove water from the floor.
