Tarkett linoleum

It was time for repairs in the new apartment, the choice of material for the floor, we chose Tarkett Idylle Nova Atlanta-1 Linoleum. In those characteristics, the Application Class for residential premises is indicated 23, i.e. high, and high resistance to the effects of furniture legs and heels.

We purchased this linoleum for the entire apartment, from rolls of different widths, and laid it in compliance with all the technologies, that is, they first flooded the floor to perfect evenness, then let it rest for several days, then glued to the floor. In one room, 6 meters wide, 2 pieces were connected, 2.5 meters wide and 3.5 meters wide. Then, during operation at 3.5 meters, dents appeared from a simple stool that stood in front of the computer, but this was not observed in the kitchen area (where the width is 2.5 meters), although there are much more chairs there, plus a table.

And with the naked eye you can see the difference between these two pieces, 3.5 meters without a pronounced texture, smooth, glossy, the remaining pieces are matte, there is a texture. We made a complaint to the store about replacing a defective product, a piece was cut off for examination.

After 2 months, I just called the director of the store’s director’s office and said that according to the results of the examination, linoleum meets the stated criteria. I attach a photo so that everyone can make sure that visually it is even visible that linoleum is different. And we can only guess about whether the examination was carried out in good faith, if so, why such defects occurred. By the way, only the director of the store of the manufacturer’s representatives came to our house.

In general, think a hundred times before taking Tarkett flooring, if you get a marriage, it will be very difficult to prove it to you.

pieces of different widths have different quality

It is unrealistic to prove and replace marriage

Bought Linoleum firm Tarkett Divia 5. Fully discharged. This is a waste of money. On the linoleum, there are residues, dents, stains, even dents remain from sand. I am not kidding. The child rolled on a scooter visible strip on linoleum. It is not possible to erase anything. This is despite the fact that the child weighs 13 kg, and the scooter has silicone wheels. A plastic toy fell on linoleum, a dent remained. In general, I was disappointed. I do not advise anyone.

Beautiful appearance.

Not practical, does not wash well, dents, cuts remain ...

We bought the Tarket Energy Boy 3 linoleum in the store Manager in Saratov. Immediately into the whole house, and regretted the very next day .... The persistent disgusting smell does not disappear for five days, and the back side smells of fiberglass smells .... We are afraid to lay ....

Did not notice

The disgusting smell of burnt technical oil

We bought Tarkett Force Friza1 linoleum, put it in the corridor and in the living room, the drawing is like a tree, it looks very natural, it pleases the eye. The worker who laid said that the linoleum is of high quality and no problems arose with it. We also have no complaints, but the price has adequately turned out. By the way, I did not feel any specific smell. Most likely we will also put him in another apartment.

looks good

did not reveal

I really do not advise you to take linoleum of this company and briefly tell you why. Having decided to expand the living space in our city, we exchanged a 2-room apartment. an apartment for three rubles. After the purchase, they decided to limit themselves to minimal repairs in the kitchen and bathroom, it was decided not to touch the floors. In the whole apartment, and this is almost 80 sq.m. the Tarket linoleum was lying, the name was learned when they began to lift it from all sexes. Yes, it looks decent linoleum, it looks like a laminate, the texture of a dark wood. What they immediately noticed - in the apartment there was a sour chemical smell, usually the apartment smells so right after repair. Checked with the previous owners, they laid linoleum 5 years ago.

The smell alerted right away, but it's not so bad. After the first night in the apartment, a breathing began at night. It became really hard to breathe. Suspicions first lay on linoleum, although it was not believed that this could be. Prior to that, he lived in more than one quartile with linoleum as a floor covering and there were no problems. There was nothing left to do but try and find out the reason.

We tore off this Tarket and laid a laminate, unforeseen waste, but there was no choice. As a result, the smell disappeared and the apartment immediately began to breathe normally, the breath was gone. It was lucky that they immediately understood the reason. It’s good that an adult managed to understand the reason, but imagine if you had a baby, you brought him home, he began to breathe and you would not even know why. I left a couple of pieces of this rubbish for memory, I really want your hands to bring this miracle for examination, to find out how dangerous substances are contained there.

Looks good

Poisonous odor

Most of those Russians who started repairs in their own apartment, already on the second day dreams of finishing it. The absolute majority of those who have at least once seriously encountered it will agree with such statements. Everyone wants to carry out repairs as quickly as possible and with the lowest financial costs. And for this you need the smallest amount, as many repair operations in the apartment as possible to carry out independently.

Repair or replacement of the floor in residential premises in this regard is markedly distinguished by its complexity and high cost. I always thought so, until I met Tarkett linoleum in one of the building materials stores. My wife and I, deciding to save money, made decisions from the very beginning in the corridor, to lay linoleum in the kitchen and bathroom. Searched for more than one month. But all the time I came across some unfortunate material: too hard, with an unpleasant odor, faded, slurred shades.

And when he saw Tarkett linoleum in the flooring pavilion, he fell in love immediately. At first, he took him for some kind of ultra modern laminated panel.

The external surface texture is effectively made. Flexibility, like carpet, and about the same light weight. Upon purchase, I learned from the seller that not one component hazardous to health is included in the chemical formula of the material that forms its basis.

Not found.

It turned out to be very difficult to choose linoleum, as later practice showed. Firstly, we needed a linoleum of light tones, close to white. Secondly, I really wanted him to not be thin and soft. Only Tarkett linoleum corresponded to these two conditions. The linoleum from the Force collection looked very good on the sample. We chose Sorbona 5.

Having rolled it on the floor, linoleum turned out to be darker than on the sample. In principle, this is even good, since it will not get very dirty. As a result, it turned out a gray-white color, which does not look dirty at all (Fig. 2).

Now our linoleum is already a year old. In principle, linoleum is worth the money, so we never regretted our purchase.

Pros and cons see below.

Yes, Tarkett linoleum is really strong and thick, lay flat and does not form waves anywhere.

It does not show much dirt.

Looks very good on the floor and blends with white furniture.

Tough, so it's pretty hard to push. For example, there are no traces of chairs. Heavy furniture, of course, will leave a mark anyway.

When a glass carafe fell on linoleum, such a trace remained (Fig. 1).

Linoleum is painted, for example, with colored vegetables, if they are not removed on time.

It does not wash well, as it has a very raised surface: all dirt gets stuck on it if you wash the floor with an ordinary rag. By the way, it is much better to wash such a floor with a sponge, which comes complete with a mop.

It is inexpensive, and such a relief linoleum is washed much better and faster.

In the odnushka that we recently sold, we had the Dublin 2 linoleum from the Discovery collection. The apartment was very small, maybe that's why we managed to lay it in all the rooms in one direction of the drawing, along the walls. It looked very beautiful and complete - there were no sudden transitions when in one room it was like this, and in another it was different. All guests confused this linoleum with laminate, asked what kind of brand. The pattern really reminds laying with a laminate.

We lived on the 1st floor, and before laying Tarketta in the off-season, the floor was cold. I don’t remember why, but when they did the repair, we didn’t lay the liner under the linoleum (maybe we decided to save money, or didn’t want to mess around). But even without the substrate, the floor became noticeably warmer. The fact is that this linoleum itself is quite thick, plus it has a warmed base. Thanks to this, it is soft and warm, it is pleasant to walk on it even barefoot.Although its softness is both a plus and a minus: traces of furniture legs were everywhere where something stood. But this is solved - it was possible to put gum under the legs. By the way, once the apartment was flooded (the shut-off valve broke), and in horror we thought that all the dampness would be absorbed into the linoleum and would poison our life for a long time. But not a drop of water passed under linoleum!

But they made a mistake with the kitchen. This linoleum has a ribbed surface, and grease spots accumulated on the floor near the sink and stove. I tried to clean them, and manually, and with various chemicals, and scraped with a knife - hellish work! The spots did not get out.

Now we have a new apartment, and again the repair. Without a doubt, we will again choose Tarkett linoleum, only from a more recent collection. But for the kitchen - definitely smooth.

Great appearance, high quality, thick, can be laid without a backing, soft.

Leaves traces of furniture legs, not suitable for the kitchen.

The task was to change the flooring in the room, corridor and in the kitchen. In the room there is a chair on casters near the computer and we needed material that can withstand the constant movement of the chair, in the hallway and kitchen, as always, the heaviest load therefore needed a strong coating.

I began to look for options. The laminate did not inspire confidence in me at all, the kitchen has a 100% chance of water getting in, and I have already seen with my friends that untimely cleaned water does with it. In the corridor, however, there is sand, which is also fatal. Therefore, I looked towards linoleum, but not domestic, but semi-commercial.

As a result, it was decided to purchase the Tarkett semi-commercial linoleum. To begin with, I laid it in the kitchen. Linoleum was selected on a foamed substrate with a protective layer thickness of 0.3 mm.

Then the room was made up. Linoleum was chosen here already on a felt substrate and with a protective layer 0.4 mm thick. It shows itself perfectly. There are no marks from the chair or scuffs near the front door. And more than 5 years have passed. The hallway was covered with the last. Linoleum was bought here, similar to what was laid in the kitchen, with the same strength characteristics. But there was a problem with an uneven base, so I had to put fiberboard sheets on the old twisted boards and thanks to the foamed substrate I managed to get a fairly even coating.

Durable - in terms of strength, everything is fine, there are small dents only from the legs of the refrigerator. It is the dents that the coating surface itself was not damaged. Quite practical, thanks to the substrate is able to smooth out small irregularities. It has a pleasant appearance and many of its options, it is not so scary to injure various objects, because the surface is elastic.

In terms of practicality, there are drawbacks, since it has a cramped surface with imitation of wood, the dirt likes to clog into grooves and is difficult to wash from there - therefore it is better to choose the kitchen with minimal embossing.
