The semi -commercial linoleum is designed for styling in household and commercial premises with medium operational loads.
The consumer and technical characteristics of a semi -commercial linoleum are largely similar to the similar characteristics of household linoleum, designed for styling in residential premises, but there are several differences.
Firstly, the semi-commercial linoleum has a thicker protective layer (0.3-0.6mm), which protects it from exposure to the wheels of office chairs and shoes and allows you to maintain the original appearance for a long time.
Secondly, manufacturers add components to the decorative layer of linoleum, allowing to obtain a structural surface with anti-slip properties. And this is important for flooring in a public room with medium and high patency.
Thirdly, a semi-commercial linoleum is produced only on a foamed substrate obtained by a chemical way. Such a substrate gives linoleum good acoustic and thermal insulation properties.
Fourthly, the introduction into the upper layer of carbon threads gives semi-commercial linoleum antistatic properties.
Differences from commercial linoleum can be divided into positive and negative, positive differences include:
-A variety of selection of colors and design,
-Simplicity of laying,
-more affordable price.
Speaking of negative differences, we must not forget that this type of linoliums is significantly inferior to commercial linoleum in relation to wear resistance and strength, so it is better not to use it in rooms with high operational loads.
Thus, it is a floor covering that is perfect for all residential, as well as commercial premises with an average intensity of patency and operational loads.
The service life of a semi-commercial linoleum is 10-20 years.
