First choice for renovation and refurbishment on old coverings manufacturer classical wood parquet and Cork parquet are on alert, because the new vinyl-design parquet floors take away from massive market share them. This of course has its reasons: vinyl flooring deceptively genuine mimics the look and feel (texture) real wooden floors and stone floors. They are much easier to clean, robust and cheaper compared to real”floor coverings. After vinyl floors contain today no harmful plasticizers and exhibit very low emissions (fumes) (material used in human medicine), is a decision for these floors in many cases on hand. In our comparison, we tested the product features of the main manufacturer Witex (Elastoclic), cortex (Vinatura), whether Jet pile (Expona Clic) and Profilor (vinyl flooring).

The vinyl design engineered hardwood flooring can be installed in most cases without applying a PuTTY layer from similar bumps on an existing hardwood floors or tile floor. The easy-to-use Clic systems allow each it only some technically gifted, to install this vinyl flooring and even, for example, in the excerpt from a rental apartment to uninstall again for further use or reuse. In this comparison cortex Vinatura vinyl flooring has in addition a cork middle class, as well as a cork girder, which provide for a joint-gentle comfort and acoustic separation or insulation against the subfloor. Vinatura vinyl Designboden distinguishes itself with its two layers of Cork from other vinyl floors, by he gives you a decisive advantage of the health of the spine and joints. So an even better sound insulation and a pleasant surround is also (no clatter”such as laminate flooring without soundproofing) reached.
