Floor in the bedroom

In the convenience and comfort of the bedroom floor plays a special role. The coating is chosen not only according to the pattern, but also depending on its durability and peculiarities of care. Someone more important is the performance of the floor, so that it is durable and easy to wash, and to someone the naturalness of the material and how pleasant it is, if you walk barefoot.

To make a home comfortable and comfortable, flooring must meet certain requirements:

• strength;
• wear resistance;
• soundproofing;
• evenness of the surface.

The bedroom, unlike the living room, is not so passable, so the coating can be softIt’s less likely to get dirty, however, for those who make special demands on the air in the bedroom and make daily wet cleaning more suitable tile. The floor in the bedroom should be warm so as not to catch a cold. If the increased requirements for stylistic unity, then the coating is selected in the context of the design decision. Sometimes the determining factor is the price.

Consider the well-known coatings and original alternatives, their composition, materials and method of installation on concrete slabs.

This carpet gives a soft and warm surface. It can be made from both natural and synthetic materials, the length of the pile is different (from 2 to 10 mm), the pile can be either even or in the form of loops.

Indicators of quality carpet:

• pile has one level in height;
• at a bend the carpet is not strewed;
• villi do not fall out when trying to pull them;
• The letter “L” in red on the package indicates that the carpet has passed the quality test.

The advantages of carpet may be more significant than its disadvantages, especially for those who love a warm floor:

• the air gap in the pile of the material retains heat;
• the coating absorbs noise;
• the length of the segment is determined by the size of the room, which allows you to lay a roll without connecting seams;
• the abundance of ornaments allows you to show imagination and choose a picture to your taste;
• material slowly wears out.

Feature of care: For effective cleaning, cleaning with a vacuum cleaner is required once a week and cleaning with special cleaning agents - once every six months. It is not scary if you spilled tea or coffee on the floor, for cleaning it is enough to wet the stain with a solution of vinegar and rinse.

Laminated board according to the officially patented Hornitex technology is created by compressing with the help of high pressure and temperature the following elements: 2 ground boards made of wood fiber, resin, film and decorative paper. The task of the laminate is to create an artificial analogue of the floorboard, it looks just as beautiful, but not so expensive. However, the imitation of parquet is justified not only by the price, but also by the fact that the operational properties of the laminate are better. For example, it is more moisture resistant and fire resistant, resistant to sunlight, it is harder to scratch. Different types of laminate design mimic the plank floor, floor tiles and artistic parquet.

For laying large format boards, ideally smooth surfaces are required if the floor is not completely level, you need to either level it or choose smaller size boards.The choice of a board with a chamfer improves the quality of installation and leaves no room for the occurrence of cracks between the boards, which is not only inconvenient, but also dangerous.

Parquet is glued from several types of wood planks. The top layer is made of valuable breed, and the bottom - from coniferous. The wooden surface is warm and pleasant to the touch. The floor in the bedroom is a choice for several decades, so the flooring, despite the fact that it is 2-3 times more expensive than laminate for 1 square. meter, may be a better solution. Parquet is a durable material and can last longer than laminate with proper care and periodic scraping, which gives the flooring a new look.

The tile - a covering strong and moisture-proof, maintains the big weight. Disadvantages: cold to the touch coating does not give a feeling of comfort, if the feet are wet, you can slip on it, any objects that have fallen on the floor, are immediately beating. This coating is ideal only when installing the heating system "warm floor".

Modern synthetic material has several advantages:

• tile laid on the glue basethat prevents the possibility of divergence of the junction points;
• material can serve 10-20 years;
• moisture resistant coating maintains wet cleaning in any quantity;
• has excellent thermal insulationwarmer than ceramic tiles in winter.

Cork is the bark of cork oak, which grows in the countries of the Mediterranean Sea, the main suppliers are Spain and Portugal. The advantages of cork coating are:

• naturalness;
• elasticity;
• hypoallergenic;
• the cork does not let in the cold coming from the concrete under it;
• cork floor is not afraid of wet cleaning.

Material Disadvantages:

• you cannot put sharp objects on it, there may be dents from the legs of the chair and heels;
• high price;
• small objects can be accidentally pressed into the surface by stepping on them.

Cork based coatings are of different types, which can be put in different ways:

• Cork laminate pressed from wood fiber board and the top layer of cork chips (agglomerate). Boards are equipped with locks, with the help of which they are easy to connect when laying, after the installation is completed, the floor must be covered with a special varnish. However, this coating is not completely natural.
• A more natural option is installation of natural cork veneer on glue. The laying process requires knowledge and experience, such a floor is durable.

Professionals emphasize that the floor should be selected to the doors and baseboards. It is not so easy to buy quality doors that are suitable for the price, and therefore it is more logical to select the remaining elements for the doors. The next step is the selection of the plinth.

To pick up the shade of the floor is better not in color to the door, but in contrast. Why not in tune? Furniture should be chosen in tune to the baseboards and doors, shades, of course, will be different, because the palettes of manufacturers do not match. If you try to make furniture, plinth, door and floor of the same color, firstly, all the objects will merge, and secondly, the slightest differences in shades will be evident.

The best color combinations of design elements of the room:

• dark color doors, baseboards and furniture are in contrast with the light flooring;
• light color doorsplinths and furniture in contrast with the dark color of the floor;
• with white furniture You can combine the floor in ivory, black doors and baseboards.

The need for a warm floor in the bedroom is determined by the temperature of the air in the room, as well as by whether you live in a city apartment or in a private house. If the apartment is well heated, when the floor is heated, the air becomes drier and this can have a bad effect on the mucous membranes of the body.If you live in a private house that is difficult to heat and the air has high humidity, then if you have the opportunity to make a warm floor, this is a good decision.

For marking coatings suitable for underfloor heating, there is a special badge on the package. It is best to conduct heat will be ceramic tiles, and laminate and parquet - 1.5 - 2 times worse.

Self-leveling polymeric floors are applied to the concrete surface by pouring diluted composition, preliminary preparation of the surface is required, the floor dries out for several days.

Duplex floor - This is the creation of a podium on the surface.The decision is justified, from the point of view of design, in the bedroom a podium can be useful for installing a bed. The second level is chosen not only for design reasons, but for the sake of heat, inside the podium can be laid insulating materials.
