Linoleum in the hall

Hall refers to the category of premises where all members of the family spend time - both children and adults. The penetration here is relatively high. Accordingly, the floor covering should be sufficiently durable and, if possible, safe, that is, close to natural.

Which linoleum is better for the hall?

Of all the available variety, we immediately need to weed out those types of linoleum that have a total thickness of less than 1.5 mm and a protective coating thickness of less than 0.15 mm. Ideally, the thickness of the linoleum should be 3-4 mm - then it will provide more and additional thermal insulation and will withstand much greater loads.

The wear resistance class of linoleum for the living room should be not lower than 21-23. Only in this case can guarantee a long service life - about 8 years and longer.

The probability of mechanical damage in the living room is small, because there are no hot objects or chemical washing, as in the kitchen, and the patency is not as high as in the hallway. So you can use a relatively inexpensive linoleum, made on the basis of polyester and not to be spent on an expensive coating of foamed vinyl.

Linoleum in the hall should be on felt or jute basis with PVC coating. This material is soft, warm, elastic, it's nice to walk barefoot on it. The price of such a coating is acceptable, while it can boast good performance properties. It's easy to take care of, he's completely unpretentious - just wipe it with a damp rag.

And even if there are animals in the house, their hair will not attract, since the floor is antistatic. And all stains and dirt can be easily removed with usual cleaning agents.

Drawing on such a linoleum is applied evenly throughout the canvas. In the process of wear, the abrasion of the pattern occurs almost unnoticeably.

How to choose a linoleum for the hall in color?

Choosing a linoleum for the hall in the apartment, it is important that it would fit in its own color. If you want to stand out against the general background, you need to take a shade that contrasts with the walls and furniture. But in order for the linoleum in the hall to be in harmony with the overall situation, choose a color in tone with several interior items - vases, lamps, textiles, stands.

Linoleum too light shades is acceptable only if you do not have small children or pets. For example, white linoleum combined with a modern style of interior will look trendy. All furniture on the white floor will be as if hovering in the air, creating a feeling of lightness and weightlessness.
