Vollboden

Vollboden is a term used in Germany to describe a type of flooring. It generally refers to a floor covering that is installed as a single, seamless piece or with very minimal seams. This can include materials like linoleum, vinyl, or certain types of rubber flooring. The key characteristic of Vollboden is its continuous surface, which is often chosen for its hygienic properties and ease of cleaning.

The installation of Vollboden typically involves preparing the subfloor to be smooth and even, after which the chosen material is laid out and adhered to the surface. In some cases, heat welding or special adhesives are used to fuse seams together, creating an almost entirely seamless finish. This makes Vollboden a popular choice for areas where hygiene is paramount, such as hospitals, laboratories, and kitchens.

Beyond its practical advantages, Vollboden also offers a wide range of aesthetic possibilities. It comes in numerous colors, patterns, and textures, allowing for diverse design options. The continuous nature of Vollboden can also contribute to a sense of spaciousness in a room. While often associated with commercial or institutional settings, Vollboden is also utilized in residential spaces for its durability and low maintenance.
