Tarkett linoleum - technical characteristics and properties of all collections

When going to the store to buy linoleum, many ask Tarkett products from sellers - after all, everyone has heard about its quality. However, seeing how diverse the range of these floor coverings is, you can think about it. After all, they differ not only in design, but also in important technical parameters. This article will help you understand and choose Tarkett linoleum - the technical characteristics of which we describe in detail.

What types of linoleum Tarkett manufactures and what are their features

This manufacturer has been operating in the flooring market since 1886. In Russia, he is the leader of the popularity rating. After all, linoleum, produced by the international company Tarkett, is distinguished by beauty, environmental friendliness and special resistance to wear. It serves an unusually long time without losing sight. Today, the following types of Tarkett linoleum are produced:

• of household type;
• of commercial heterogeneous type;
• of commercial homogeneous type.

TARKETT household linoleum

This coating is very universal - it is most in demand in the Russian context. Buyers like its modern and stylish look, reliability and practicality. They are especially attracted to colors and textures that artfully imitate natural materials. After all, it is much easier to lay linoleum than to make floors from tile or laminate. And visually it looks almost the same.

By the way, laying this floor is not difficult. And special care is not needed, so you can use Tarkett household linoleum in any residential premises. We also note his absolute safety for human health.

TARKETT commercial heterogeneous linoleum

This type of flooring is suitable for rooms where the load on the floor is large. Such a linoleum upper protective polyvinyl chloride film is thicker than that of domestic. And its base is particularly compact. Thanks to all this, the drawing is not erased for a long time, and the floor does not lose its attractive appearance without requiring special care.

TARKETT commercial homogeneous linoleum

This type of flooring is a leader in strength. It is suitable for any public space with the highest maneuverability. The word "homogeneous" in the title means that the material is completely homogeneous - from the bottom to the surface. So during the entire service life, you can repeatedly restore the coating, giving it an initial appearance. Homogeneous commercial linoleum is ideal for schools, hospitals, clinics.

What is semi-commercial linoleum TARKETT

In addition to domestic and commercial linoleum in Russia, there is also semi-commercial. But in fact, in Europe, this type of linoleum is not. The thing is that semi-commercial linoleum is still the same household linoleum, but the technical characteristics of semi-commercial linoleum Tarkett are significantly improved, but slightly inferior to commercial type linoleum.

What parameters are distinguished in linoleum, what they mean and what is affected by

Class

All floor coverings have different resistance to wear, by which they are classified. There are two digits on the label, indicating wear resistance class. The first digit is the type of room (2 - domestic, 3 - office, 4 - production). The second digit (from 1 to 4) is the type of load (from low to very high). Here's an example: 32 grade linoleum is designed for an office space with an average load. To make it easier, the manufacturer on a roll place an icon with houses and people - so completely understandable.

Total thickness of linoleum

This characteristic determines two things. The first is how well the sounds muffle our flooring. The second is the thermal insulation ability. By the way, thicker linoleum will not only save more heat. On it, thanks to the depreciation and walk more comfortable.

Thickness of the working (protective) layer

This parameter determines how quickly the floor covering will lose its appearance. Protective transparent PVC film protects the pattern on linoleum from erasure. The greater its thickness, the longer the floor will please the eye. However, the quality of the protective film plays a role. The company Tarkett has its own technology in its manufacture, allowing to achieve a lot:

• If the top film is of type EXTREME PROTECTION, then the strength of the coating increases 7 times (relative to household linoleum).
• Protection TITAN creates a lacquer layer.
• TUREX embossed protective coating is designed to maximize imitation of natural natural coatings (wood, stone, tiled).

Weight of one square meter

After weighing a piece of linoleum (or by reading the data on the marking), you can understand how dense and durable it is. This is important - after all, we not only walk on the floor in slippers, but we also put heavy furniture on it, we roll tables and bedside tables equipped with castors.Usually the material weighs from 2 to 5 kg (square meter).

Length and width of rolls

These things need to be known before purchasing - having selected the optimal dimensions of the roll, you can get rid of unnecessary connections, as well as cut pieces and waste. Therefore, you should purchase linoleum, knowing the exact size of the room where it will be laid. Rolls are sold in lengths from 20 to 30 m, and their width is more diverse - from 1.5 to 5 m.

Resistance to moisture

According to European standards, the designation E is adopted for water resistance. So , coating type E2 says that cold welding can be used, and type E3 - that hot welding will be needed.

Use in combination with underfloor heating

This is important - the fact is that not every floor will be suitable for floor heating. Manufacturers took care of this - linoleum, which is suitable for this, has the marking "warm floor" on the label.

Resistance to furniture on casters

To prevent the protective film from wiping off prematurely when the computer desk is moved on wheels, choose the appropriate floor covering. It's simple - you need to buy linoleum, which has a wheel pattern on the label. As you can see, the manufacturers took care of the customers here too.

Lightfastness

This characteristic is determined according to EN 20105-В02. Its level is calculated in points - from 1 to 8. Linoleum usually has 6 points of lightfastness.

Abrasion

This parameter is in grams per square meter. It should be noted that for this part the characteristics of Tarkett linoleum are very impressive (they will be shown in the tables below). The abrasion group depends on the protective coating and is determined according to the European standard EN660-1. To determine the abrasion group, a piece of linoleum is exposed to abrasive, and according to the result a certain group is assigned to it:

• Group T - PVC 100% - the most durable material with low abrasion.
• Group P - the average degree of erasure.
• Group M - high degree of erasure.
• Group F - a very high degree of erasure.

Residual deformation

This parameter adjusts the norm of EN 433 - for this, it is pressed onto the die coating for 150 minutes. For linoleum residual strain values ​​≤ 0.17 - ≤ 1.33 mm.

Change in linear dimensions

This parameter is indicated in%. In accordance with the rules, it should be no more than 0.4%.

Lifetime

A manufacturer like Tarkett gives its products a good guarantee. With domestic use it is 15 years.
