Environmentally friendly material has the following criteria;

a. non-toxic, before and after use

b. in the manufacturing process does not produce substances harmful to the environment

c. can connect us with nature, in the sense we are getting close to nature as a natural impression of the material (e.g brick reminiscent of soil, wood in the trees)

d. can be obtained easily and close (does not require any fees or process a great move, because it saves fuel energy to move materials to the construction site)

e. materials that can naturally decompose easily

f. etc.

environmentally friendly material according to the above criteria for example, bricks, cement, natural stone, local ceramics, wood, and so forth. Whether or not environmentally friendly material can be measured by these criteria or of one of the criteria only, such as wood that increasingly hard to come by, but when used sparingly and correctly can make us feel closer to nature because it reminds us of the plants.

Vinyl, Flexural and Not Noisy

Your thirst will motifs unique and diverse textures of floor covering materials can be found on vinyl. PVC-based material (material for plastic) has a flexible nature and not noisy. The secret motive of its wealth lies in printing technology that accompanies the production process. So that the motif can be chosen according to taste and texture very similar to the original.

Flexible physical properties make it easy to apply and comfortable to step on. This material is also equipped with anti-scratch material. However, to maintain the durability of the touch face must be kept sharp objects because these materials are still not as hard as natural stone or ceramic.

Material Composition Composer

From the form of the material, vinyl is available in the form of sheets (PVC) and tile (box such as tiles). While the composition of the constituent materials can be distinguished in homogeneous vinyl (top and bottom layer of PVC) and type of printing.

Homogeneous vinyl has a thickness of 2 mm and relatively more brittle. While the types of printing has a thickness of about 3 mm and consists of 3 layers (PVC in the lowest layer, the mold pattern / color, and coating the top layer).

Can Polished Birthdays

If your vinyl looks dull / dirty, remove the dirt in a layer of polish with a special chemical liquid using a lap. After the dirt and layers of polish up, apply a new layer of polish and vinyl floors will be shiny again.

Similar but different. That vinyl and laminate. In view both of them hard to distinguish because the motive is created and printed at the plant. Both are only distinguishable on its core material, ie material that is on the second layer.

The core of the laminate is made from MDF or HDF, which is the wood fibers are compressed. While the core for the vinyl is made from synthetic fibers (plastic material) is fireproof and non-flammable.

From the type of material at its core, the vinyl has a better resistance to water because the vinyl does not have the character of wood at all (not soft and not porous and impervious to water).
