We will not go into boring details, but explain on your fingers, which different materials have advantages and disadvantages. Read everyone who is going to make repairs and chooses floor coverings.
Ceramographic
Today there is a huge selection of different ceramic tiles "under the tree", so it is easy to find the necessary - rather budget, but high-quality. And this is one of the main advantages of this material.
Also, the porcelain stoneware is good at the abundance of colors and drawings: there are embossed coatings that mimic the tree even together with the residences, there are smooth and even glossy options.
Porcelain stoneware on the floor and one of the walls
Ceramic granite is the best choice for the "warm floor", so sometimes it is done throughout the apartment, including residential rooms. It does not require much care and absolutely unpretentious: it is not afraid of moisture, scratches, mechanical shocks. And one more advantage is no "thresholds" that spoil the appearance of a single coating.
But there are disadvantages. Those who prefer eco-interiors, do not like porcelain stoneware - yet it is not natural.
The most frequent selection is the porcelain stoneware "under the tree" on the floor in the bathroom
If you have chosen a porcelain stoneware for several rooms, such as an entrance hall and kitchen, and in the residential room, we decided to put another coating, you will have to get acquainted and adjust them in height - due to the screed. Even porcelain stoneware from one manufacturer, but from different collections can be different thickness.
The recommended version of the laying is deck (in disintegration, with a lifting - you can meet different definitions of the same option), with a displacement of 1/3. Located on glue - like any tile.
On the market you can meet a porcelain stoneware with an ideal imitation of the wood relief
PVC tile
Relatively new product on the market. Some are called his flexible laminate, others - Linoleum Upgrade.
The arguments "for" PVC tile - it can be put on any surface. Manufacturers claim that even on old laminate or parquet without dismantling it is real, and this opportunity does the PVC tile ideal for independent repairs, when I want to update the room, but dirty work with the dismantling of the old coating and do not want to align at all.
This is how the process of laying PVC-tile looks
PVC is not afraid of moisture, so it can be seized even in the bathroom and kitchen. And there is also a fairly large selection of the drawings "under the tree" - will be from what to choose from.
There is a huge selection of different textures and colors of the tree
Now about the shortcomings that only know the pro. The first is not a natural coating. Second - wear resistance rarely reaches more than 10 years. And the third - if shedding acetone or other chemistry on the tile, it is easy to spoil the surface. Although there are innovative models that do not absorb even marker and markers. However, the price is appropriate.
Laminate
Probably there is no man who has never seen a laminate, did not go through it and does not know what it is. Laminate chooses the majority if he wants to make budget repairs. It is possible for little money (up to 1000 rubles / m2) Select high-quality coating.
One of the main advantages of the laminate is a huge selection of decors
The laminated floor is stable, it is not aslertained by weight, although it can scatter or crack - depends on the wear resistance class.
But lay the laminate for an uneven base will not work. Preparation of the surface is necessary. It is believed that he is afraid of moisture, swell, although today there are models that can be put even in the bathroom.
With proper care laminate will perfectly behave in the kitchen
So, laminate - yes, if you take the floor 33 of the wear resistance and choose a coating with the chammes - it is easier to lay it.
Parquet board
Here we will have to resort to terminology. Let's start with the fact that the parquet board is not a parquet. It is made of natural wood, but they make a three-layer. Although it is difficult to distinguish material on the floor from the parquet.
It is the warmest material - it's nice to walk on a tree, it will be beautiful, and in general the parquet is now appreciated and love - old doctors are not thrown away, but they are restored and are proud of the unique rarity in the interior. A parquet board can also be lacquered and updated: with proper care, it will last up to 20 years. But beauty is not always a decisive factor when choosing.
Parquet board in the interior looks warm - I want to touch it
Among other advantages, the material is called simple laying (floating method), and even compatibility with a warm floor - albeit with the conditions (the temperature should not exceed 26 degrees). And the specialists speak of a restriction on the installation method - a parquet board cannot be laid with a Christmas tree, only a deck view.
Engineering board
One of the modern types of materials like parquet. To explain its advantages, you will have to turn to the boring nuances of production. This material is made of two layers: the first of the valuable breed of wood, the second - from the birch plywood, which stabilizes the board.
Engineering board really decorate interior
This method of production makes the engineering board durable and beautiful, since the top layer is made of wood. Visually to distinguish it from the array. And, like any natural floor, the coating is beautifully old, it can be updated, so it will serve not one decade.
From disadvantages - troublesome care.
