Flooring 1

LAMINATE FLOORING
Most laminate floors have a bottom layer made of wood fibres and a plastic surface layer. These floors often have mechanical joints like wood floors or resin ones with this resin flooring installers, which makes them easy to lay. The surface layer is often available in many designs, like imitation wood or stone. Laminate flooring is durable and resistant to water and moisture, but since the surface layer is plastic you can’t freshen it up with sanding.

VINYL FLOORING
Like laminate flooring, vinyl floors are available in many variations. They have a similar layered construction, with a durable surface layer, a decor layer, a vinyl core, a layer of glass fibre and a bottom layer. Vinyl is soft to the touch and dampens sound well. This makes them suitable for use in noisy environments, like children’s rooms. You can also find them in many kitchens, as they can withstand water and moisture.

LINOLEUM FLOORING
Linoleum floors are often made from renewable materials like linseed-oil, resin and sawdust. This type of flooring is durable but doesn’t suit wet or moist environments. Like vinyl, linoleum is soft and has sound absorbing qualities.

STONE AND TILE FLOORING
Floors made from stone and tile are very durable. If you choose a stone floor, you could consider installing underfloor heating, which is especially important in colder climates that affect the indoor temperature. Some stone floors can be hard to keep free of stains, depending on the colour. Stone floors suit most parts of a house, like bathrooms, kitchens and hallways.

TEXTILE FLOORING
Textile floors used to be a common feature in our homes. After a dip in popularity, they are on the rise again and many people choose to put carpeting in parts of their home. These floors are soft to walk on and absorb sound well. A drawback with textile floors is that they are hard to clean and attract dust and mites.
