dimensions

Indications of good old friends of length, width and thickness to help create the exact requirements. The first two are needed for the calculation of the area, and the third for the determination of wear resistance, respectively, the quality of future sex. Moreover, the view that the thicker the better, is wrong.

See the facial layer thickness, instead of the total. It is responsible for the amount of grinding.

Standard ordinary housing: total - 13-16 mm, the top layer - 4mm. 2-3 scraping period between such surface be able to withstand. If the entire thickness of less than 10 mm, then the processing is not possible. This "one-time" option. The maximum values ​​of 6-8 mm top layer for very large loads. On these floors to dance but to march need in home use unjustified budget spending.

Color and design

5 main kinds of natural cover:

• from red to brown;
• yellow;
• from pink to red;
• dark;
• light coloured.

The good news is that all shades - natural. It means any natural combinations thereof. Canonical pair of brown / beige good in conservative styles. For a glamorous decoration black enough. Fashionable provence support linen and white color scheme.

Miksuya texture of cloth, it is necessary to take into account the technical characteristics of different wood: the ability to shrinkage, hardness, etc. Close to these parameters materials prolong the service life of flooring, polar - short-lived.

wood shade changes stain, varnish, oil tinting. In addition, toning removes stains, dirt, stains. But to use the secret weapon should be very careful. Before you paint the entire area, you must be trained on individual plates.

light shades

It has long been known that light colors visually expand the space. Give ambient air atmosphere, visual transparency. Small rooms are no longer psychologically crush nearest wall, and more and more like in the studio. Golden oak flooring, sanded to a smooth one-dimensional surface, covered with several layers of varnish becomes like a frozen water surface, reflecting the luminous glare of the sun. Does the possibility of such poetics of looking at the floor of linoleum, though very practical?

White maple, birch, hornbeam, pear, olive born in cold color temperature. They are best placed on the sunny side of the house. Larch, beech, alder, on the contrary, will increase the degree of perception, where natural light is not enough. By the way, cool shades of wood universal approach to the furniture of any color.

dark shades

It would seem, black-stained oak, as the night hides all sins. Nothing like this. Scratches, chips, spots on the dark is more visible than in the light. Beat senseless, but can be prevented by replacing the current gloss to matte. However, this measure does not affect the dust. Rubbish treacherously seen on any darkened background.

If the light pushes the frame, the dark narrows. For this reason it is not recommended to do black floors in small spaces. If no other way, you should try to choose a less prominent structure installation. Eyes comfortably accept small volume without snowy elements.

Brown lacquered floors mutenii have excellent reflectivity, beating this quality with the help of lamps and other accessories, you get private looking glass.
