Features of commercial linoleum
Commercial linoleum is used for arranging floors that often have to be subjected to high mechanical stress. The material for the production of such linoleum is durable polyvinyl chloride with a certain amount of additives. With the help of modern technologies, it has become possible to produce a material that can withstand a load of up to 5 tons per 1 m².
It is worth noting that commercial linoleum can be homogeneous (homogeneous) and heterogeneous (multilayered). The first type is a baseless elastic canvas, the thickness of which is not more than 3 mm. The material has a durable decorative pattern. In the second version of the coating, the thickness reaches approximately 6 mm. Regardless of the type, this linoleum has high performance characteristics:
