At each stage of the repair, you have to face a huge choice: design, stylistic solutions, craftsmen and materials. When it comes to finishing, the question of floor coverings arises. What to choose is in the material aif.ru .
Designer Sergey Kozhevnikov answered this question.:
— When designing floors, try to focus on one type of flooring. The main floor covering can be: laminate, SPC laminate, engineering or parquet board. It is still not worth combining several types of floor coverings in one apartment at once. Laying a floor covering with a single contour will help to visually increase the space, and also make your interior more tidy, without unnecessary thresholds and transitions.
An additional material can be granite, which is used in the hallway, kitchen and loggia. It is best to use the same tile for these rooms, the designer said in his Telegram channel.
What should I pay attention to when choosing floor coverings?
— Durability. This must be taken into account in those rooms where the floor is under heavy load, such as the hallway and the kitchen.
— Easy to care for. The materials require different care: if the set parquet requires a lot of attention and time, then the laminate can be cared for with minimal effort and time.
— Aesthetic appeal. Here it is necessary to take into account the overall interior of the rooms, their area and stylistic tasks that can be solved with the help of floor coverings.
— environmental friendliness. Natural material is preferable for the health of the household.
— The cost. It is important to maintain a balance between price and quality, and it may take more time to find such material.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of floor coverings?
Laminate is one of the most common types of floor coverings, primarily because of its accessibility and wide selection. However, it does not tolerate high humidity and is afraid of water, so it should not be placed in the hallway and kitchen. With constant contact with water, the laminate will begin to absorb moisture, which will lead to its deformation.
Is it possible to punish a developer if he used cheap materials?
Engineering board is a natural finishing material, so its price will be higher than that of laminate. The services of craftsmen and consumables will cost more. In case of damage, the board is easy to replace. But it is not recommended to lay it in the hallway.
Quartz vinyl consists of 70-75 percent quartz sand and 25-30 percent PVC. An affordable material characterized by high stability, so it can be laid throughout the apartment, including the hallway and kitchen.
Porcelain stoneware is the most wear-resistant material, therefore it is suitable for all rooms and surfaces. Most often, ceramic tiles and porcelain stoneware are used in the bathroom, hallway and kitchen, combined with laminate or engineering board in other rooms.
