There are many flooring options. The most popular and practical today are linoleum, parquet and laminate. When the price is the main criterion for the choice, linoleum has no competitors. If for you the cost of flooring does not play a big role, and quality and reliability are above all, then you will most likely stop on the floor or laminate. To understand which coating is better, I advise you to read this article.
Let’s start with definitions. Laminate is a multi -layer coating based on paper or plastic wood. The upper layer of laminate imitates various materials, for example, ceramic tiles or parquet. In the end, the parquet is covered with resin. Such multi -layer provides excellent strength. Good quality laminate does not wipe. It is easy to care for him. He is not afraid of any detergents. The surface of the laminate does not need additional processing. Laminate does not need to be varnished at all or grind. The laminate is protected from the effects of water and fire, even the smoldering cigarette will not be able to leave visible traces on it.
You can find a laminate of almost any design. Even the most expensive coverage of this class is inferior in the price of a parquet board.
Parquet consists completely of natural wood. Parquet has three layers. The upper, so -called valuable layer is made of expensive solid varieties of wood. From here its name came. Two other layers are created for greater strength. All three layers are protected from temperature and humidity drops.
Parquet can be gasped and grinded. For greater reliability, it is covered with varnish. If the parquet cares properly, it will last a very long time.
On the one hand, the laminate is much better than the parquet. He has an acceptable price, good stability and reliability, a large selection of design. Parquet relies on its naturalness and environmental friendliness. What to choose in the end depends on you.
