Floor coatings for the bathroom. It is not very easy to choose a flooring for a bathroom. At the moment, many floor coverings are presented on the market, but not all of them are suitable for use in those conditions that are characteristic of the bathroom. There is a high level of humidity in this room, and there are also constant mechanical loads. The selected material must cope with the first, and with the second. Ceramic tiles are considered as the material that is most optimal for use in the bathroom. Material of this type is characterized by moisture resistance, so the tile does not deteriorate for a very long time. At the same time, ceramic tiles are highly durable, which allows it to remain in excellent condition for a long time. The disadvantage of ceramic tiles can be considered that it maintains heat very poorly. For this reason, the surface of the floor, which is laid out with ceramics, remains constantly cold. It is best to lay ceramic tiles on a warm floor system, but this is due to additional costs. Linoleum can also be used for floor cladding in the bathroom. Unlike ceramic tiles, linoleum is very cheap. This rolled material also shows excellent moisture resistance, but has such a serious advantage as the lack of seams and joints. But this is true only in the case when a whole piece of material is used to cover the floor surface in the bathroom. Linoleum is characterized by higher thermal insulation, so walking on it is more comfortable. But linoleum can be damaged, scratch or cut. In addition, linoleum is not considered a truly presentable flooring. Cork tiles are not used too often too often. She is not as famous for owners as they described above the floor coverings. At the same time, the cork shows good moisture resistance, has the ability to withstand significant mechanical loads, perfectly retains heat and absorbs noise. But there is one specific feature in its application. So that cork tiles are better preserved in the conditions of the bathroom, it is additionally covered with a protective layer. It will also be possible to maintain a plug in good condition for a long time, if you initially use the material with the presence of a laminated coating. But a traffic jam of this type will cost more
