IVC Linoleum

One of the options for practical and reliable flooring is linoleum. This material is an artificial coating based on PVC, sold by the meter and unpretentious in the care.

The Belgian company IVC has established itself in the Russian market with the most positive side. High-quality equipment, experience of staff and quality control allow it to produce coatings with high performance. Founded in 1997, IVC provides consumers with high-quality material, which will solve both the issues with the arrangement of industrial premises, and a smaller scale.

There are usually specific requirements for flooring. For some, this is beauty; for others, durability is important; for others, it’s just practicality and the desire to save time and money.

IVC linoleum is such a product that can satisfy each requirement individually or all at once.It can be combined with a beautiful appearance and high-quality coating, and ease of use. Linoleum is supplied in rolls ranging from 1.5 to 4 meters in length, they can be up to 30 meters.

Some of the types of such material can fall on a special glue, fixing it securely on the floor, thus avoiding the formation of kinks and waves, for example, at the points of contact between furniture wheels and the floor. Other species fall on the entire surface as a single segment without any additional funds, without having unnecessary joints and gaps in their surface.

Usually linoleum is presented as a multilayer coating that has at least three layers:

• The foundation;
• Color layer;
• Protective layer.

Components may be added that make it more attractive for certain conditions and requirements. The exception is homogeneous linoleum, which is a uniform coating throughout the thickness. It is more often used for floors in rooms of average and big passability.

In addition to the main layers, additional layers are used in the quality coating. They give the material additional properties that improve their characteristics:

• Reinforcement - an additional layer, most often in the form of a grid, located between the two layers at the base of the coating. It gives strength to the web, making it more resistant to deformation due to heat, loads and ordinary stretching.
• Thermal insulation - a layer designed to ensure the safety of heat in the room, helps to avoid the transfer of cold from the concrete base. It looks like the material from the bottom side of the coating, can be woven and non-woven. It also contributes to a smooth installation with small uneven floors.
• An additional protective layer is also an obvious advantage over a conventional layer. Gives linoleum additional properties. It can be dirt-repellent, anti-bacterial, antistatic, or combine in itself these qualities.

The material of the Belgian manufacturer has a number of distinctive properties. This can be considered:

• the top layer of Quick Clean - dirt protection, facilitates cleaning the floor in the room;
• Super Guard, which increases the life of the flooring;
• lower layer Comfort Foam, which serves to increase the heat and sound insulation in the room.
