Gliphtal.Suitable for decoration lovers.May contain multi-colored pattern.Not as durable as the PVC, but it has improved performance for sound and heat insulation.

rubber.It is not difficult to guess from its name, the basic material - a tire.Most often it is a dual-layer - bottom layer is created from shredded rubber and bitumen, the top of the rubber (mainly synthetic).

linoleum Cold welding is not complex in design for linoleum, it is quite possible to implement on their own.

For its implementation will require:

• two lines - one short, the other must be a long.It is best to use iron.
• plywood or fiberboard (rectangular).
• PVC glue.

• Tape mounting type.There should be two-way.

strongly advised to observe safety precautions during operation.Hands should be protected by gloves, try to avoid contact with the adhesive on the skin, and it is desirable to protect the respiratory system from its vapors.For this fit the usual gauze bandage (not necessarily equip oneself in chemical protection suit).

Before you begin, you need to make a few preparatory steps.

1. If our linoleum soft type, it is necessary to align.By not doing so, you risk not only do the "monkey work", but also significantly overpay.The fact that it is not leveled, the seam of linoleum will not adhere to the other part and it causes an increased risk of humidity in the joints.
2. need to make more of the same parts.This is done very simply - one part is superimposed on another lap, then fasten their belt (it is impossible to stuff "fidgeting") and cut.You must first hold a pencil line on which you will cut.
3. next step - sticker adhesive tape on the mating surfaces (only do this in an area where the seams are located).This kind of security measure that allows to protect the site from damage linoleum surface for welding seams.
4. Now you can start to assembly.Parts of the surface which you must be connected, in turn can be glued or simultaneously.It must be done carefully to cover all parts fit snugly together.
5. Apply glue to the joints between the sections of linoleum - this is a cold welding of linoleum.Once it dries, its surplus, which remain on the surface can simply remove knife.This should be done carefully, too, otherwise there is a risk of damaging the surface.
