Maintenance of natural linoleum in residential premises


The maintenance of natural linoleum in residential spaces is a particularly important topic for those who want to keep their home healthy and aesthetic. Choosing natural linoleum is not just an aesthetic choice, but contributes significantly to the healthiness of the home. Natural linoleum is made from organic materials such as linseed oil, resin, wood flour and natural pigments, making it an environmentally friendly choice. It does not contain harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde or phthalates that can affect indoor air quality. Therefore, choosing natural linoleum contributes to the creation of a healthier environment for the inhabitants of a new house or apartment.

Natural linoleum offers numerous advantages compared to other types of flooring. Compared to parquet or tile, linoleum is warmer to the touch, making it ideal for apartment complexes and apartment complexes. It also has high durability and excellent wear resistance, making it suitable for high-traffic areas. Another important benefit is that natural linoleum is easy to maintain and clean, making it a practical choice for new homes. Furthermore, linoleum has antistatic and antibacterial properties, making it ideal for families with children or pets.

Surface preparation before installing natural linoleum is essential to ensure optimal adhesion and maximum durability. It is important that the surface is clean, dry and uniform. Our team of experts at RATGROUP SRL takes advantage of Columbus professional sanders to level any existing floor imperfections. We also use cutters for support layer to adequately prepare the support. These characteristics allow us to ensure that every residential project benefits from the best conditions for installing linoleum.

Correct natural linoleum installation techniques are essential to obtaining a quality final result. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use high-quality adhesives such as LET IT GO OR Janserto ensure optimal fixing. Our team is experienced in using these products and knows how to apply them correctly. For example, in a recent project for a residential complex in Bihor, we managed to install natural linoleum throughout the building, meeting all quality and durability standards.

Daily maintenance of natural linoleum is essential to preserving its long-term appearance and functionality. We recommend using a damp rag and mild cleaning solutions to avoid damaging the surface. It is also important to avoid using abrasive products or aggressive detergents which can damage the finish of the linoleum. Our team offers tips and tricks tailored to each customer so they can keep their floor in tip-top condition.

Recommended products for cleaning natural linoleum include specially formulated solutions that do not contain harsh chemicals. For example, Wakol offers excellent products that help maintain the shine and integrity of the material. It is important for new homeowners to be aware of these options to protect their investment in the long term.

When it comes to removing stubborn stains from linoleum, it’s essential to act quickly. Using a mild cleaning solution and a soft cloth can help remove stains without damaging the surface. In a recent project at a hospital in Passau we managed to remove oil stains from linoleum using simple techniques and suitable products, thus demonstrating the effectiveness of our method.

Humidity and temperature play a crucial role in maintaining natural linoleum. It is important that the humidity level in the rooms is maintained between 40% and 60% and that the temperature is constant to avoid expansion or contractions of the material. These aspects are fundamental especially in the case of new homes, where climatic conditions can vary considerably.

Reconditioning natural linoleum is a process that may become necessary after a period of heavy use. This could include applying a new coat of natural oil or a specialized product to revive the appearance of the floor. Our team has experience in this field and can offer customized services for each individual customer.

Using natural oils to maintain linoleum brings numerous benefits. They help maintain the elasticity of the material and give it a shiny appearance. Natural oils also protect against wear and stains, thus prolonging the life of the floor.

UV rays can have a negative impact on natural linoleum, causing it to discolor over time. Owners are advised to use curtains or shutters to protect the floor from direct sunlight. Furthermore, we can offer customized solutions for the protection of linoleum according to the specificities of each home.

Comparing the costs of natural linoleum to other types of flooring over the long term shows that, although the initial investment may be higher, maintenance costs are significantly lower due to the high durability of natural linoleum. This makes linoleum an economical, long-term choice for owners of new homes or apartments.

RATGROUP SRL has created numerous successful projects with natural linoleum, demonstrating our expertise in the sector. For example, we worked with Mercedes Benz Autohaus in Munich to install natural linoleum in their showroom, where we used professional Bosch and DeWalt equipment to ensure flawless execution.

Current interior design trends with natural linoleum include bright colors and varied textures that match modern decorating styles. New homeowners can opt for warm or cool shades depending on personal preference and the overall style of the home.

When it comes to choosing natural linoleum colors and textures, it’s important that they match the style of your home. For example, a modern apartment can benefit from light tones and rich textures, while a traditional home can be accented with darker colors and more robust textures.
