Floorous coating requirements: wear resistance, moisture resistance with additional waterproofing, light cleaning of pollution, resistance to strong detergents,
resistance to mechanical influence.
Tiles and porcelain tiles:
Advantages: long operation and increased resistance to mechanical, easy care and resistance to aggressive detergents, moisture resistance, environmentally friendly.
There is no change in coloring from the hit of ultraviolet rays. Fire safety, during heating there is no highlighting unsafe toxic substances, the installation of a warm floor is possible. A variety of selection of colors and sizes.

Parquet, laminate:
Advantages. Pure environmental material. Warmer than tiles. Small stiffness.
Huge selection of colors, values and textures. There is even a laminate to tiles, having the same shape and structure.
Cons. No moisture resistance. But on sale there is a laminate with the properties of water resistance and moisture resistance.
The weakest place of laminate is the tightness of the seams at the joints between the panels, in this case, it is necessary to treat with a sealant. Parquet is treated periodically with special oils and varnishes. Low durability.
Linoleum coating:
Advantages. Low price. Light and pure styling
Increased moisture resistance. Possible disguise for tiles, stone, parquet. A small number of joint joints, as a result of lightness when leaving. It is necessary to select linoleum with nonsense. Natural linoleum has antibacterial properties. Noise isolation.
Cons. It is exposed to the sun. Not long operation. Synthetic linoleum has the property. During combustion, toxic substances are distinguished, exposed to strong detergents (cheap linoleum).
