Each room, the construction finish attaches a peculiar interior view. An important role is played by sexual coating. One of the newest finishing materials is a commercial linoleum. Despite his youth, he has already found great use. The main feature is wear resistance, it means that the laying of a commercial linoleum can be carried out in public places where optimally strict operating conditions are acceptable (service life will be about 25 years).

This type of coating was designed specifically for use in places with a large accumulation of people, where there is a serious load on the floor covering. Used in hotels, gyms, airports.

If we talk about his advantages, then there is another plus - this is the technology of laying a commercial linoleum, it is not very complex and easily feasible.

Types of commercial linoleum

There are two types of this material manufactured by the manufacturer who are completely different from manufacturing technology, as well as on their own texture and scope.

The homogeneous type is coated with a polyurethane layer with a thickness of about 3 mm, has the form of a uniform structure with the same pattern. If the top layer is erased, the coating still will not lose its color. As for coloring, the technology of production is still limited, and the linoleum is produced only three colors: in krapinka, marble and monophonic colors.

The advantages of homogeneous coating will be enough to overlap the only color flaw. It has such positive qualities as:

• high strength;
• Excellent antistatics;
• wear resistance;
• does not require much care;
• Simple laying.

This type of coverage due to its indispensable qualities has found its use in rooms where equipment sensitive to static electricity is located, it can be electronic equipment or computer equipment.

The heterogeneous type of commercial linoleum according to the manufacturing technology is opposed to the first, since its structure has the form of a multilayer sheet, the top layer of which is covered with polyurethane spraying. As the basis of this canvase, the reinforcing glass cholester is taken, fused along with several PVC layers. Production technology in this way allows to achieve many diverse colors and shades.

Linoleum with a multilayer structure is used in rooms requiring increased sound and thermal insulation.

Preparatory work

After the choice was made in favor of one of the species, the surface on which the linoleum should be laid, it is necessary to prepare. If the foundation has significant defects, they need to be eliminated, otherwise the service life of the sexual coating will be significantly reduced. When eliminating defects, all hills are stitched, and small irregularities and cracks are maintained by sandpaper or climb.

Linoleum calculation scheme.

1. Installation of commercial linoleum, in contrast to simple species, is produced by sticking it to the base, and the glue is desirable to apply to the opposite direction of the material.
2. For the best effect, the surface on which the linoleum is required is subjected to primer using two layers. It can be styled not only on a concrete surface, such a linoleum can be mounted on a parquet and wooden board, as well as on the tile. In these cases, they need to be sewed to chipboard. Whatever the surface, it should be without dust, smooth and dry, only under the observance of these conditions, the linoleum will fall uniformly and firmly.
3. Before starting the rolling of the canvas, it is necessary that it lay down in the room where the laying will occur, about a day. After the required time passed, it is required to be unzipped throughout the room, observing the scan of approximately 2 cm and on the walls somewhere 5 cm. Then we leave the material for deception so that all wrinkles and waves are disclosed.
4. If the surface of the linoleum is completely discharged, you can proceed to trimming. The cutting segment is made strictly at an angle between the floor and the wall. The jokes cut through the line at once in both layers, in order not to leave the slots.

Continuation of the process - laying

Linoleum trim diagram.

1. On the allowances along the walls in the corners, cuts are initially made to the floor, and then the resulting tongues. In order not to spoil the material, you need to work carefully and carefully. It is necessary to constantly observe the uniform laying of linoleum. If extra centimeters are cut off when performing work, it can lead to irreparable consequences.
2. After trimming, ready-made canvas need to be bent longitudinally and on the base to apply a special adhesive tool for fixing the commercial linoleum. It is strictly prohibited to use any other formulations, since the coating may not be seized with the base, and bubbles are formed under linoleum.
3. For the uniform and economical distribution of the adhesive composition over the surface of the base, it must be applied by a special spatula with teeth and a teeth step from 1 to 2.5 mm. You need to apply glue by semicircular movements, holding a spatula under the inclination at 30 °.
4. After the adhesive make up the adhesive composition, it will be given 20-30 minutes to aging and evaporating extra moisture. Upon expiration of the desired time, the canvas are glued starting from the middle.

In order for the linoleum tightly pressed to the base of the floor and the bubbles were removed, the rolled rolling with rollers weighing 50-60 kg, the movement of which produce across and starting from the center to the edge. The non-flip band is also rejected and produce the same actions.

Some features of laying

After the installation of a commercial linoleum, the adhesive composition is given time (usually day) for polymerization. And after day, welding of seams begin. Usually this procedure is performed by hot welding. It is carried out with the help of a cord that comes complete with rolls of commercial linoleum. The cord is fused into the joints.

This work is performed in such a sequence:

1. In the junctions between the canvas, you need to cut the chisel to the groove.
2. With the help of a vacuum cleaner, you need to remove the remaining crumbs of the material from the resulting recess.
3. Measure and cut the cord for the entire length of the joint.
4. You need to go to a special nozzle welding cord and arrange it above the deepening.
5. The welding machine warms up to 400 ° C and the cord is fitted by moving the nozzle.
6. The final stage is the pruning of excess material. It is held in two stages. The first includes trimming the uncomfortable polymer with an arcuate knife. After complete cooling of the mass, it is cut smoothly with a surface level.

When performing joints, it is also possible to be extremely attentive, as the poor-quality made seam cannot protect the linoleum from the moisture from entering it, which is detrimental for the coating itself. This is especially important when laying a heterogeneous type, as it has a thermal insulation substrate, which smoothes irregularities. This layer makes linoleum thicker and increases depreciation properties.

After the laying of the commercial linoleum is completed, it is necessary to view the coating for the remnants of glue or air under linoleum. If everything is mounted according to the rules, then mount the plinth and the threshings.
