Protection layer and room class
The protective layer, also known as the clear coat, is responsible for the durability of linoleum. It safeguards the pattern from scratches and wear. For families with children and pets, a thickness of 0.3–0.5 mm is optimal. This thickness is sufficient to prevent nails and toys from leaving marks. Be sure to check for the presence of PU lacquer—it prevents dirt from soaking in and makes cleaning faster.
The second parameter is the room class. This is not a characteristic of the linoleum itself, but rather an indicator of how intense the wear and tear expected in the room is. Class 23 is suitable for kitchens, entryways, and children’s rooms (high wear). If there are several active dogs in the house or children who constantly play, it’s better to choose a higher class—31–32. For bedrooms and living rooms, where the floor is usually not subjected to heavy stress, classes 21–22 are sufficient.
Balance between Comfort and Durability
The thicker and softer the flooring, the more comfortable it is to walk on. However, there’s a nuance: overly soft linoleum may develop indentations from heavy furniture. For home use, it’s better to find a balance by choosing flooring with a total thickness of 2.5 mm and a protective layer of 0.3–0.5 mm. This ensures comfort underfoot while still providing good load-bearing capacity.
Scratches from claws and marks from furniture
Scratches from claws are superficial marks. They are less noticeable on matte textures and surfaces with a thick protective layer. Dents from chair wheels or table legs are more serious damage. To avoid these, use special protective pads under furniture and a mat under an office chair. These simple measures will preserve the floor’s appearance for many years.
Tip: For homes with children and active pets, it is advisable to choose flooring with a protective layer of 0.3 to 0.5 mm.JUTEKS factory’s product range includes collections with various properties, allowing you to select the appropriate flooring for each room based on its usage requirements. The materials undergo strict quality control, and their safety is verified by certifications — which is especially important for families with children.
Maintenance and Use
Modern linoleum is easy to maintain in daily use. Warm water and a mild cleaning agent without aggressive components are sufficient for regular cleaning. Abrasive powders, soda, and chlorine can damage the protective layer, so it is best to avoid them.
To extend the life of the flooring, place a dirt mat at the entrance door—it will capture most of the dirt and sand. It’s better to move heavy furniture only with pads or special covers on the legs.
By choosing linoleum based on these criteria, you can create a practical interior that can withstand any child’s play or pets’ activities while maintaining an aesthetic appearance.
Modern linoleum offers vast possibilities for design: from soothing natural tones to striking textures and classic geometry. The key is to choose a variant that complements your style, so that the floor becomes more than just a practical background—it transforms into a vital part of the interior design.
