linoleumpõrandad

Linoleumpõrandad, commonly referred to as linoleum, are a type of flooring made from natural, renewable materials. Its primary ingredients include solidified linseed oil, pine rosin, ground cork dust, wood flour, and mineral fillers such as calcium carbonate, all of which are typically produced on a jute or canvas backing. Linoleum is known for its durability, resilience, and antimicrobial properties, making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial spaces.

The production process for linoleum involves oxidizing linseed oil, which then creates a viscous material called linoxyn. This linoxyn is mixed with other components and pressed onto the backing material. The resulting flooring is then cured. Unlike vinyl flooring, which is a synthetic product, linoleum is biodegradable and has a lower environmental impact due to its natural composition. It is also naturally anti-static and anti-microbial, resisting the growth of bacteria and fungi.

Linoleum is available in a wide range of colors and patterns, from solid hues to intricate designs, offering versatile aesthetic options. Its maintenance is relatively simple, typically involving regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional damp mopping with a pH-neutral cleaner. Proper sealing and maintenance can ensure a long lifespan, often exceeding 30 years. Linoleum's inherent resilience means it can withstand heavy foot traffic and resist wear and tear effectively.
