For a long time, people have been using linoleum as a floor covering. Linoleum can be made from both natural and synthetic materials. Natural coating contains wood flour, cork flour, linseed oil, lime flour, resin and much other. All components are mixed and laid in a jute basis, where the necessary processing is carried out: drying and coating with acrylic compounds, to obtain strength, durability and pleasant appearance.
Linoleum from natural materials is recognized as harmless and is allowed for use in children’s rooms, educational institutions, etc. This coating is well opposed to solvents and alcohol, but it will not withstand alkali.
The main minus of linoleum is that there is a color change after the oil dries, which is part of the material and the smell, which after laying is eliminated for a long time. Sometimes you can buy glue for styling with an unpleasant odor.
When buying linoleum, attention is paid to where it will lie. However, this is not as important as the quality that varies in classes.
