So, in general, on the market you can find linoleum made from natural materials (called marmoleum), as well as synthetic and PVC linoleum (the latter is made in strips or rolls).

There are also types of this coating intended for specific industrial use and difficult operating conditions - in transport, in factory premises, etc.
At first glance, the differences between these two types of bc data europe may not be obvious. First of all, however, the price catches the eye - household linoleum is used everywhere and is quite cheap, an intermediate option in the form of semi-commercial linoleum is sold at an average price, and the highest price will have to be paid for dense and reliable commercial linoleum.


Commercial linoleum has a higher price than household linoleum.

All details about the coating can be seen on the marking, however, the information from the tags may not always be fully understandable to the uninitiated user.

First, pay attention to the visual component, namely, examine the linoleum from the side. On the front side, you will see a thin protective layer - it is this that indicates what class the linoleum belongs to. Typically, the thickness of this layer will be from 0.1 mm to 1 mm.

Thus, for household linoleum, the protective layer will be the thinnest and most unreliable; it rarely protects against anything other than minor household violations – its thickness will rarely exceed 0.2 mm.

If we are talking about semi-commercial linoleum, it will have a denser and thicker protective layer, which will be about 0.4 mm.
