This provides greater durability and accuracy of visual cover, but the production is quite harmful to the environment.

In wet areas (bathroom, WC, garage), vinyl floors have to be glued, as over time under a tile, laid in a locking manner, from the flowing water may appear fungus and odor.

Vinyl flooring is a great choice for those looking for a decent option of replacing the flooring in the living areas and ceramic tile in wet areas.
