Kitchen is a room with a special microclimate, where there are fatty fumes, condensation, often spilled liquids and there are other unpleasant factors that should be eliminated immediately, therefore, the requirements for the lining of this room are quite high. In addition, the kitchen has high permeability, which should also be considered when choosing a floor covering. So, this article will be about the floor finish of the kitchen floor. All of these coatings have long been known and widely used, but we are sure that you will highlight something new for yourself.
• Ceramic tiles and porcelain stoneware. The undisputed and overwhelming leader in the field of flooring is ceramic tiles and porcelain stoneware has become equally popular. You can endlessly list all it’s advantages. Easy to care, richness of choice, various textures and designs. In addition, ceramic tiles are distinguished by high indicators of strength and wear resistance, they are in no way affected by temperature changes, they have good moisture resistance, spilled liquid is not dangerous for ceramics. You are not limited in the choice of detergents, since they do not affect the quality of the ceramic coating.
• Laminate. Over the years, laminate flooring has evolved to such a level that it can also be offered for installation in the kitchen. It is divided into classes that meet all the necessary requirements. You may think that this type of coating will not be moisture resistant, but this is not the case. For modern types of laminate, locks of a special design have been invented, preventing the penetration of water under the coating. The joints can also be additionally treated with Click Guard MUCG joint sealant.
• Linoleum. A popular and ubiquitous coating that does not lose its relevance due to its low price and availability. A multitude of textures for the same tile or parquet, for example, expands your range of choices. Easy to care for, with a high level of water resistance, quite hardy to external factors and in the kitchen it is irreplaceable Linoleum is divided into three types: household, commercial and semi-commercial. For the kitchen, both household and semi-commercial are suitable. Soudal and Kerakoll linoleum adhesives are also suitable for it.
• Vinyl flooring (LVT) has all the technical characteristics that a kitchen requires (moisture resistance, easy maintenance, strength, endurance). In addition to technical advantages, it also has a rich choice of color palette and textures (wood, stone). LVT also needs to be glued to the surface. For this we recommend Bison and Kerakoll vinyl flooring adhesive.
Please, note that:
• If you are installing a "warm floor" system at home, keep in mind that the temperature under any of the listed coatings, except for ceramic, should not exceed 27 ° C. For ceramics, temperatures up to 30 ° C are permissible. It does not make sense to set a higher temperature, since it is dangerous to health
• When applying any topcoat on glue, remember that the glue should be applied to the entire floor area, not locally. Thus, you will achieve an even laying of the coating over the entire floor area and you will not have swollen areas
