Technologies do not stand still, and new materials appear on the market, including flooring. One of these latest coatings is vinyl tiles, the main characteristics of which are high wear resistance, strength and excellent decorative qualities. Vinyl tiles are produced using two technologies that determine the type of coating-quartz-vinyl and pressed tiles.
Materials for vinyl tiles
1. Quartz-vinyl tiles are made of vinyl and natural quartz with fillers. Quartz sand gives tiles exceptional strength. Such tiles withstand temperature changes, resistant to chemical influences and fire, it is impossible to slip on it. Basically, quartz-vinyl tiles are used to lay the floor in industrial and public premises, but can also be used in residential apartments and houses-in the corridor or in the kitchen.
2. The basis of pressed tiles is resin and vinyl, and various fillers give the coating certain properties, for example, plasticity or tightness. The surface of such a tile is covered with a decorative film and a layer of protective substance, which increases the durability and strength of the coating.
Advantages of vinyl tiles
The vinyl tile has a square or rectangular shape, and the dimensions can vary flexibility and plasticity allows you to significantly simplify the laying process, and, unlike the laying of ceramic tiles, vinyl tiles do not form the clearance and subsequent special grouting. It is important that this type of tile is moisture resistant and can be used in bathrooms.
In addition to excellent physical properties, vinyl tiles are characterized by the quality of decorative. Modern graphic technologies allow you to transmit on the surface of this coating the texture of wood, ceramics, sea pebbles, grass and so on. At the same time, the drawing persists for a long time, does not fade and does not erase.
The increasing popularity of vinyl tiles is due to its affordable price, high operational qualities and a variety of design. All this allows you to use it as flooring both in residential premises and in public and industrial, where the floor experiences increased loads.
