Resilient floor coverings, for example made of vinyl, linoleum, natural rubber or cork, have many advantages. They are easy to clean, have good impact sound and thermal insulation properties, and are very gentle on the joints and warm underfoot due to their resilient and soft surface. Due to the different materials, resilient floor coverings are used in both commercial and private areas. Numerous looks and designs also give the flooring a very personal touch and ensure a pleasant living feeling.
Another advantage of resilient floor coverings is that they can be installed quickly and easily thanks to an integrated click system. With floor coverings that are offered as sheet goods, laying and gluing is somewhat more complex. Buyers can tell by the so-called usage class of the floor coverings for which rooms and for which use they are particularly suitable. The usage classes provide information about the load-bearing capacity of the flooring and whether it is suitable for private, commercial or industrial use. In addition, resilient floor coverings differ from one another in many properties, such as abrasion resistance, heat resistance or robustness.
For rooms with high humidity, such as bathrooms, it is also important to ensure that the flooring has a good slip resistance class and protects against moisture. In addition, it is important here that the installed flooring does not allow water to pass through and does not swell. When laying, make sure that damage in the corners of the room is sealed with water-repellent adhesive and remain undamaged. If you are looking for an environmentally friendly option when buying resilient flooring, make sure that it has an eco-label and is particularly low in emissions.
