For many years, linoleum has been one of the most common flooring materials, which is due to its practicality and good performance characteristics. True, in fairness it should be noted that the latter largely depend on the model of the product and its quality. Therefore, it is not surprising that many people are interested in how the quality of linoleum is determined in a store before purchasing?
Below I will tell you what to look for and how to test the coating to purchase quality product. Of course, we will not consider testing methods that require special equipment or laboratory conditions.
Determining the quality of the coating
First of all, it should be said that there is no linoleum that is completely unsuitable for use as a floor covering. Only the scope of application of the models differs.
Thus, some types of coating are intended for use in residential premises, while others are intended for use in offices and all kinds of public institutions. Therefore, next I will tell you how to choose linoleum for an apartment or house, i.e. for residential premises.
So, when choosing, you need to pay attention to the following points:
Below we will take a closer look at all these nuances.
Parameter 1: smell
One of the main requirements for finishing materials, including floor coverings, is environmentally friendly. In the case of linoleum, environmental friendliness is evidenced by the absence of a sharp chemical odor.
If you smell a strong odor, it means that toxic substances were used in the manufacture of the material. As a rule, industrial coatings smell unpleasant, the main requirement for which is high strength and resistance to abrasion. In residential premises, of course, you should not use such material.
When purchasing, you should smell the roll, not the sample.
The fact is that samples are often processed special compounds, resulting in no odor.
Also, proof of the safety of the coating is the presence of international environmental labeling. True, not all domestic models have it. Therefore, its absence does not mean that this is a toxic product.
Option 2: pattern and color
If you want to purchase high quality linoleum, you cannot help but pay attention to its design. It should be expressive and clear. If the drawing does not contain clear contours, this indicates that high quality products, respectively performance characteristics perhaps they also leave much to be desired.
In addition, when considering the surface of the coating, you need to pay attention to some other points:
- corrugation– if it is missing, the floor can turn out to be quite slippery and, accordingly, dangerous;
- colors– it is better to use a coating of calm natural tones. In this case, the material will not fade in the sun in a short time, and the eyes will not get tired of it. For example, wood-look linoleum is an excellent option;
- presence of peeling areas– if the transparent film begins to peel off in some places, you should refuse to purchase such a product, as the canvas will quickly become unusable.
The good quality of a product is often indicated by the presence of the manufacturer's trademark.
Parameter 3: thickness
When choosing a coating, be sure to pay attention to the cut.
As a rule, the canvas consists of three main layers:
- protective – is a protective transparent coating that provides the material with resistance to abrasion and other mechanical stress;
- the front layer is the main layer, the thickness of which also determines the strength of the fabric;
- substrate - provides thermal insulation. The backing can be foam or felt. It should be noted that the foam base is more practical and durable.
As you might guess, linoleum good quality must have a sufficiently thick first and second layer, on which the performance of the canvas depends. There are sometimes models on sale that feel quite thick to the touch due to the backing, but their protective layer is very thin. It is better to refuse to purchase such a product, since such a coating may simply begin to tear during operation.
When choosing a canvas, you should crumple its edge with your hands or press on the surface with your fingernail.
If the surface is not deformed, then the product is of good quality.
It must be said that there is also single-layer linoleum (homogeneous), which does not contain a backing. A special feature of this material is its increased thermal conductivity. So he is excellent.
Parameter 4: strength and abrasion class
The quality of the coating is often indicated by the class of wear resistance and abrasion. The wear resistance class is marked with two numbers:
| Number location | Designation |
| First | Talks about the purpose of the material:
|
| Second | Characterizes the level of permissible load intensity. According to this parameter, the coating is divided into four types:
|
If you come across class 21 linoleum, then keep in mind that it is the least wear-resistant and is only suitable for use in rooms with low traffic, for example. But linoleum of the 23rd or 24th class can be laid even in the hallway.
Also an important indicator of durability is the abrasion group. According to this parameter, the product is divided into the following types:
It must be said that the abrasion group, unlike the strength class, does not depend on the thickness of the material. Of course, the above figures are conditional and were obtained during testing of the coating in laboratory conditions. But, in any case, this parameter indicates the durability and strength of the product.
Parameter 5: Cost
Often the indicator of quality is the cost of the material. Of course, if the coating is expensive, this does not guarantee its quality. However, the highest quality linoleum cannot be cheap.
Therefore, below I will give the cost of some well-proven models, which will allow you to navigate the price:

Here, in fact, are all the instructions for determining the quality of linoleum, which I wanted to introduce you to. Of course, it should also be taken into account that the performance qualities of the coating largely depend on the material from which it is made. On our portal you can find detailed information about the types of linoleum and their features, which will also help you make the right choice.
Conclusion
Determining the quality of linoleum yourself is not at all difficult. The main thing is to approach this issue responsibly and pay attention to each parameter of those described above.
See the video in this article for more information. If some aspects of the choice are not completely clear to you or you have doubts when purchasing, ask questions in the comments, and I will be happy to answer you.

PVC linoleum
The basis of such a floor covering is a woven or non-woven base with thermal insulation properties. It is worth noting that today even domestic products are created taking into account the latest European technologies.
Advantages:
- presence of dielectric properties;
- low thermal conductivity;
- environmental friendliness;
- resistance to rotting;
- large selection of shades and patterns;
- ease of installation.
Flaws:
- sensitivity to elevated temperatures;
- instability to alkalis and various chemical solvents;

Synthetic linoleum
There are three types of such flooring:
- Commercial – intended for office premises. It is quite durable and wear-resistant. The service life is approximately 20 years.
- Semi-commercial - can be used in apartments and offices. The service life ranges from 7-20 years.
- Household ones are quite thin and cheap. Used in residential areas. The service life is a maximum of 5 years.
Glypthal linoleum
It is created by applying alkyd resin to a special fabric base.
The advantage is considered to be excellent heat and sound insulation properties, the disadvantage is fragility and complexity of installation.
Colloxylin linoleum
The basis of this floor covering is nitrocellulose.
The advantages of this type are elasticity, non-flammability and moisture resistance. Disadvantages include a tendency to shrink and sensitivity to temperature changes.
Linoleum relin
This linoleum consists of two layers: crushed rubber with bitumen and a mixture of pigment, rubber and special filler.
The advantage of Relin linoleum is considered to be increased moisture resistance and elasticity. The disadvantages include the presence of harmful volatile substances in the coating, which is why such material is not recommended for laying in residential premises.
Marking and thickness
To find out how to choose linoleum for an apartment, you need to understand the labeling. The first digit has the following meanings:
- 1 – rooms with low traffic;
- 2 – apartments;
- 3 – offices;
- 4 – various production facilities.
The second number in the marking is the expected load. One is considered the lowest, and four is the highest. Accordingly, class 23 or 24 is suitable for the hallway, and class 21 for the bedroom.
It is also necessary to pay attention to the protective layer, namely its thickness. This indicator should be at least 0.25 mm.
If the linoleum is laid on a perfectly flat surface, then you can take a thin material. Otherwise, greater thickness will be required.
Linoleum for an apartment
For residential premises, natural or synthetic material. To choose the most suitable option, it is worth considering in which room it will be used.
Hallway
This room is different high level cross-country ability. Therefore, it is better to choose a coating with a thickness of at least 3 mm. The protective layer of material must be at least 0.25 mm.
If you choose the maximum thickness, then an attractive appearance linoleum will remain unchanged for a very long time.
For the hallway, a semi-commercial variety is usually chosen. Experts recommend taking only PVC coating. It is characterized by increased strength and resistance to rotting.
Kitchen
Some apartment owners prefer not to rack their brains over the question of how to choose linoleum for the kitchen.
They immediately buy semi-commercial coverage, which is intended for medium and high traffic areas. Also suitable for this purpose household linoleum, the basis of which is foamed polyvinyl chloride.
Natural flooring is often chosen for the kitchen. Its main advantage is long term operation, as well as maintaining the main characteristics and original appearance. This coating can be washed with various detergents. All kitchen stains can be removed very easily.
Living room
The traffic in this room is average. Accordingly, linoleum with a thickness of 1.5-2.0 mm is suitable. The thickness of the special protective layer must be at least 0.15 mm.
As a rule, in the living room there is a high probability of various mechanical damages, so it is advisable to use inexpensive material based on polyester.
White linoleum for the living room is not considered the best option. This color can be safely used only in the absence of pets and small children.
Children's
If children live in the apartment, the choice of linoleum should be taken very seriously.
Since babies often crawl on the floor, you should purchase natural material. In this case, the thickness of the coating should be at least 3 mm, because in a children's room the likelihood of various damage to the linoleum is very high.
The protective layer must have a foam base and a thickness of at least 0.25 mm.
Bedroom
Those who do not know how to choose linoleum for the bedroom often mistakenly buy thick material.
In fact, a coating with a thickness of about 1.5 mm will be quite enough, because there is a low level of traffic here. The base of the bedroom cover can be polyester or foam. The thickness of the protective layer should be 0.15-0.2 mm.
If your budget allows, you should pay attention to natural materials. Firstly, it is more durable, and secondly, it has antimicrobial properties.
Many consumers are interested in how to choose high quality linoleum. This is not difficult to do if you take into account certain nuances.
First you need to decide for which room you need the material. Based on this, a list of required characteristics is created. In order for linoleum to fit into the interior, you need to carefully choose the shade and pattern.
- Be sure to smell the coating before purchasing. Strong smell indicates the presence of harmful substances in the composition. High quality material doesn't smell at all. In addition, it does not have a greasy sheen, and the design itself looks very distinct.
- The width of the canvas should correspond to the size of the room. Despite this, the material should be taken with reserve, because sometimes you have to adjust the pattern or trim the panel at the joints. It is also worth considering all thresholds, ledges and niches for batteries.
- The coating must comply with safety standards. The material that has passed the examination has a certain marking. In addition, the seller must provide an appropriate certificate.
It is necessary to check the quality of the panels only in rolled form. This will help determine the presence of bumps, waves, or peeling of the film. If these defects are found, such coating is considered defective. It's not worth buying.
- When choosing linoleum, you need to think in advance whether it will be possible to bring the entire roll into the room. It is also worth deciding on the method of transportation.
- In order for linoleum to retain its original appearance longer, you should purchase a coating with a protective layer.
- Panels cannot be folded in half. It is also prohibited to place tape on upper layer, because it will leave a trace on the surface. If the roll was rolled upside down at the time of purchase, it must be additionally wrapped in protective film.
Linoleum, which is one of the most popular materials for furnishing floors in residential premises, is very widely represented in many trade enterprises, which allows you to decorate the interior in strict accordance with the tastes of each homeowner. Knowing how to choose linoleum correctly, you can choose a version of this universal floor covering that would both suit personal preferences and have excellent performance characteristics.
So, what points should you decide on when choosing linoleum? Let's talk.
The first question: where do we put it?
Since the linoleum options offered for sale differ significantly in their qualities, depending on the installation location, they can be divided into the following groups:
- for flooring - here it is best to use linoleum made of polyvinyl chloride: the high durability of such a material, the possibility of processing it chemicals, which is especially important when it comes into contact with fats, allows you to maintain the cleanliness and beauty of the floor covering. The presence of a protective top layer increases the degree of resistance to mechanical stress and aggressive substances;
- floor covering in living rooms It is better to make it with multilayer linoleum on a foam base: the presence of increased noise and heat insulating properties ensures the maintenance of the required temperature in the room and the absence of extraneous sounds.
The pattern for the kitchen is preferably discreet, but in the rooms you can already select a pattern on the linoleum to suit your taste: floral, “like parquet” - any options in the living room will look great, emphasizing the individuality of the room, its style and the owner’s taste.
Question two: what is the optimal width of the roll and what are its other dimensional characteristics?
When deciding which linoleum to choose for your apartment, you should pay close attention to the width of the roll. The standard sizes are in the range of 1.5-4.0 m with a step of 0.5 m. The material consumption when laying on the floor largely depends on the width, as well as the degree of complexity of cutting and quantity (they still have to be sealed!).
Typically, the length of one sheet of linoleum in a roll is 3 m or more, which allows you to cut a piece of the required length and thereby minimize material consumption during installation.
The thickness of the coating can also vary significantly: from 1.6 to 5.0 mm. The average thickness of linoleum intended for laying in a living room can be considered 2.5 mm.
Binder material - question three
When choosing linoleum that will be installed in rooms with high traffic (corridors, rooms without carpets), you should choose options that are as resistant to abrasion as possible. All types of alkyd linoleum with high levels of heat and sound insulation perfectly retain their original qualities and appearance. However, their low resistance to moisture makes this option not very suitable for the kitchen.
The most resistant to moisture is considered to be linoleum made from PVC. It is represented quite widely on the shelves of trade enterprises. As practice shows, the slightly higher cost of this type of flooring is a direct consequence of its improved qualities.
Color solution
The variety of colors of linoleum pleases the eye, but also makes it difficult to choose. Linoleum with a simple pattern (like parquet, in squares) is the easiest to cut. In this respect, imported production options differ from domestic brands in positive side. The convenience of their installation lies in the fact that the pattern on imported linoleums is often applied in such a way that the opposite edges of the roll have a pattern that is a continuation of itself.
The basic rule for choosing a pattern when choosing linoleum is that a large pattern looks most impressive in large rooms, and a small pattern will “play out” in small rooms.
Matching wallpaper and color range floor covering creates a harmonious impression of the room. Therefore, when choosing, it is necessary to take into account the prevailing color in the room.
When deciding which linoleum is best to choose, you should follow the following tips from professionals:
- You should buy slightly more linoleum than is required according to the measurements of the room being designed.
- Having a quality certificate can protect the buyer from low-quality fake, having low hygienic and operational properties.
- You can check the quality of the selected type of linoleum in the following way: crush a small sample of it in your hand. In the absence of creases, pronounced cracks and loss of brightness of colors, we can safely say that the product is of high quality.
- Selecting coating samples based on foamed PVC will ensure a longer service life of linoleum due to the absence of its contact with concrete slab floor.
- The clarity of the applied pattern and the absence of blur also indicate the high quality of the material.
A rating compiled by experts of the main brands of this flooring will undoubtedly help you guide you when choosing linoleum.
