Floor coverings are the finishing layer of every interior or exterior floor. Depending on the space which they’re intended for, we can distinguish between waterproof, soundproof, and insulating floor coverings, those which may be installed over underfloor heating, those able to withstand great loads and are very sturdy, etc. In short, floor coverings are made of various materials processed in different ways, and they provide different kinds and degrees of protection. Some floor coverings are made of wood and timber (solid wood parquet, end matched flooring, parquet flooring), others are a mixture of artificial materials (PVC, laminate, vinyl), or made of textile and related blends (different types of carpet), and there are also tiles. Depending on the material they’re made of and the properties they should have, floor coverings may come in panels, planks, and rolls that can be glued or clicked together one piece at a time. Floor coverings are very popular thanks to their sturdiness and durability. Some of them are made to replicate the look of wood, stone, or textures of other natural materials. Besides, most coverings include protective coating, which are the key determiners of the overall quality. These coatings keep getting upgraded, with more protective properties added, which shows on both polyurethane and acrylic surfaces.
