Choosing flooring in a children's room is quite a task! An incorrect approach in this matter may in the future result in problems such as asthma and allergic reactions in a child, expensive flooring damaged in the first year, rotted floorboards under the laminate and noticeable scratches. That’s why you need to approach this choice with special responsibility if you are not eager to make new repairs every summer.

Children's room: a thousand and one requirements

So, what makes a children's room so different from any other? And why choose flooring Is there always so much attention? The fact is that in this room there is always:

• High dynamic load (children running, jumping, and sometimes with friends).
• Risk of moisture getting on the coating (children draw and drink juice).
• Scratches, chips and abrasions in the most unexpected places (children always play outdoor games).
• “Marble” stains from felt-tip pens ( favorite activity kids).

This is us talking about how resistant to abrasion and stains the coating in a children's room should be. But it also has its own specific requirements:

1. Environmental friendliness. The child should not begin to choke on dust or allergens after a few months.
2. Step cushioning. For young children, too hard a surface is even dangerous to health: it puts a serious load on the spine and the risk of developing flat feet.
3. The coating should not be slippery to avoid accidental injuries.

But, if you put all these requirements together, then, perhaps, there is no such floor covering in the whole world. Each of the types existing today has one or another advantage, and to make the right choice you need to concentrate more not on the advantages, but on what disadvantages you can put up with. In addition, each age has its own requirements.

Overview of suitable traditional floor coverings

Therefore, let's take a closer look at what popular floor coverings for children's rooms are today, what is their composition and installation process, what substances are used during the installation process (an important issue) and much more. Let's go!

Cork – warmth and cushioning

This is by far the most popular covering for children's rooms. Soft, environmentally friendly and quiet - what could be better? It’s just not uncommon for a situation where in one family the cork has only been in use for two years and already looks worn out, while in another it has been serving faithfully for ten years, and the children in both families are equally active. So where, in fact, do so many negative reviews about this coating come from, when along with there are no less laudatory ones?

It's simple: traffic jams are different. Those. You can buy really high-quality material, or you can simply stumble upon a fake. Let's understand all this a little.

So, there is such a thing as a technical traffic jam. It is made from leftovers and used as a backing for laminate flooring. It performs its functions of sound insulation and ride softening well, and it is this material that can be purchased cheaply from unscrupulous sellers under the guise of a full-fledged coating. But in the conditions of an ordinary children's room, such a plug will not last long.

The second type of cork flooring is adhesive. They can be found on sale in the form of tiles, which are attached with glue joint to joint. There are no visible cracks, such a floor is not afraid of moisture, but the very presence of glue confuses many parents.

Cork parquet ( cork laminate) - This is a cork floor made of individual panels. It is already afraid of moisture, and the seams become deformed over time due to the slightest dampness, and therefore is only suitable for the bedroom and living room. If you remember Dr. Komarovsky with his calls to make the air in children's rooms humid and even control it with a hygrometer, you will understand that you will have to forget about cork flooring.

Cork also comes in different installation methods: locking and adhesive, and in the first case, environmentally friendly glue is not needed. But in the second, there is very little cork in the coating composition, pay attention to this fact. Here is one installation option:

Real cork flooring has wonderful advantages:

• Soundproofing. The result is grateful neighbors below.
• Warm. Fewer typical childhood illnesses.
• Step cushioning. A healthier spine for a child.
• Environmental friendliness. There is no fear for all sorts of volatile and dangerous substances.
• Elasticity. Any dents will be smoothed out fairly quickly.

But one of the minuses worth noting is that under cork covering You cannot install heated floors. Moreover, cork laminate can be placed on a heated floor system, but cork sheets cannot. It’s just that this material will allow no more than 20% of thermal energy to pass out, that’s just its property. And the price, of course, is high, considering that the cork is also wear-resistant. And also p The surface of the cork is quite rough, the child will not slip again, but indoor shoes and socks will be washed quickly.

A cork floor lasts for about ten years, and partial repairs are possible - today a special varnish for it is sold. Modern cork floors are no longer just a loose surface terracotta color– they are produced today with beautiful photo printing and in a variety of colors.

Laminate - practicality and impact resistance

This is by far the most popular choice for children's rooms. Easy to clean, looks beautiful, you can put some rugs on top. The laminate is maximally suitable for, it easily tolerates temperature fluctuations and can be installed without any particular difficulties even with the most complex planned designs. Only laminate of the cheap series - from 8 mm - cannot be placed on a warm floor.

And now - about the cons. Let's just say that not everyone puts laminate flooring in bedrooms or children's rooms - more out of fear that this material emits formaldehyde, acrylic and melamine resins. Although the manufacturers themselves do not confirm this information. Therefore, if you are going to lay laminate flooring, buy it only famous brand and ask the seller to look at the relevant quality certificates.

Laminate is also a rather noisy flooring. It likes to creak, fades in the sun and requires a perfectly flat base. Even a cat that just walked around the room can make a sound no worse than heels. And, if you don’t think of high-quality sound insulation for your neighbors below, they will be angry with you. Laminate is also slippery, which is not very good for a child's room.

But there is also a “but”: laminate is compressed cardboard, soaked in glue and coated with melamine resin. Those. For all its appeal, it is not the most environmentally friendly product. But practical and able to withstand the pranks of more than one child.

Today there are so many laminate brands that it’s difficult even for a specialist to understand them. Therefore, if you purchase this coverage, be sure to first go to the brand's website (not the seller's) and look up information about it. As a rule, counterfeits and low-quality products do not have their own website. In the meantime, experts recommend brands such as Quick Step, Kronotex and Egger. Here is the installation of the first one listed:

Parquet board - style and solidity

What is important is the noise from parquet board much less than from laminate, on which even a falling pencil makes a rumble. In addition, you can easily, unlike parquet. By the way, any scratches on a parquet board can be restored using a special varnish and sanding.

Parquet board due to more natural base susceptible to scratches and dents. You need to handle it with care, and you can only use this type of flooring in a child’s room if you have a very neat child. Moreover, environmentally friendly parquet boards are intended more for bedrooms where there is little traffic. Also, parquet boards do not tolerate fluctuations in humidity and air temperature - they quickly shrink and swell.

Bottom line: parquet board is a finicky floor, but beautiful and quite environmentally friendly. For children's rooms - for quiet and neat children who spend almost the whole day in school clubs and prefer active games in outdoors. So, there are also specially created collections of parquet boards for children's rooms - for example, Barlinek Young and some others. Typically, such a floor consists of almost 100% wood, has an antibacterial system and antifungal properties.

Here's what the installation process looks like:

Carpet - comfort and safety

It is not convenient for a child to play on a hard floor - after all, usually during all active activities you have to crawl or lean on your knees. For such children, a warm one is more suitable.

But many modern parents, taught by many programs and the Internet, actively throw out all the “dust collectors” from their children’s rooms, leaving only a sterile, clean space made of plastic and wood. They just forget that children's rooms should not look like research laboratories or operating rooms - comfort is important here. And designers all over the world will agree that the first steps in this direction are textiles and soft materials.

So, modern carpet manufacturers offer many options for color and design, thickness, quality and finish. Choose what you like! After all, literally in a few years, when a grown-up child wants to radically change the interior of his room, this flooring will be quite easy to dismantle.

There are expensive types of carpet that are designed specifically for children and can be safely laid on a heated floor system. And the process of installing this coating is extremely simple:

New products on the market that claim to be environmentally friendly

And now - all about new items for children's rooms, and not only.

Marmoleum - environmentally friendly linoleum

Just five to ten years ago, linoleum in a children's room was considered blasphemy. Not environmentally friendly, sometimes with a noticeable chemical smell, cheap. Although, for the sake of economy, such coverings are still laid in children’s rooms.

But today, thanks to the emergence of its new variety, you can reconsider this option again. This is the covering which consists of 97% natural raw materials. Its main advantages: environmental friendliness, naturalness, antibacterial properties and improving strength characteristics every year. It can consist of the following materials: linseed oil, jute or wood flour, chalk, natural dyes. Styling should be professional, but caring for it is a little more difficult.

Regular cheap linoleum lasts about 5 years, is not durable and cannot be restored in any way. Many who tried to lay it in their hallway or kitchen noted that it was even difficult to breathe in such a room. So linoleum began to be used more in offices and corridors government agencies and rented apartments.

Another good thing about marmoleum for a child’s room is that you can put a thick backing underneath it, and it will be soft and comfortable for a one-year-old baby to walk on. And here is how the standard installation of this natural linoleum occurs:

PVC tiles - will take anything!

You will be surprised, but this material is becoming increasingly popular for children's rooms as well. After all, it's new:

• Feels warm.
• Not afraid of any humidity, dryness, or heat.
• Easily repaired by sticking a new element in place of the damaged old one.
• Withstands heavy furniture well.

This is an ideal option for the noisiest and most active children, who also like to have company. These tiles are easy to repair without having to do anything to the entire floor. It’s easy to wash, even with automatic means, and after a year or two you don’t mind replacing it with a new one with a new design.

Oddly enough, PVC tiles were originally developed for the kitchen, but today those who understand well what it’s like to raise two or three children in one room prefer this option. Speaking of environmental friendliness: PVC tiles are not a natural material, but no harmful substances it does not release into the air. And therefore it can be called environmentally friendly to some extent. Moreover, PVC coatings even have a special hygienic certificate, which allows them to be used in educational and medical institutions, and this already says a lot.

If you buy vinyl tiles that are not the cheapest for your child’s room, they will last you much longer than laminate. By the way, it is called “flexible laminate”. You will be surprised, but it is much more difficult to tear or puncture PVC tiles than linoleum. Such tiles are also resistant to the formation of fungus, mold, rotting processes and fireproof (remember childhood games with matches). Moreover vinyl tiles for the floor, oddly enough, they have good anti-slip properties, which is a definite plus for a child’s room.

As for the environmental friendliness of any PVC coatings, the manufacturers themselves call them as such until they are heated to 30°C. For example, the same warm floor heats up much less.

If you look at the substrate for PVC tiles, then only two options are suitable for it: screed or tightly laid and puttied plywood. Laying such tiles is easy: we simply glue them “joint to joint”, and the finished floor looks like a seamless monolithic parquet or laminate. You will see this in this photo instruction:

And, most importantly, vinyl tiles are superior to cork in soundproofing characteristics!

Soft floor - a new word in technology

Also note the modern soft flooring. It is manufactured according to new technology EVA, and consists of soft granules, painted in the desired color. Typically, manufacturers produce it in the form of individual puzzles with inserts, and you can assemble and lay the floor according to your own design ideas in a matter of minutes. At the same time, it is easy to clean, soft, warm in feel and is always very popular with children.

But sometimes you can also find exotic floors among the offers - made of rare wood or an interesting composition. Here you need to approach it individually, but usually such floors are also not compatible with infrared, electric or water, unfortunately.

That's all the pros and cons of modern flooring for children's rooms. We wish you a good choice!

The desire of loving parents to make the nursery as comfortable and safe as possible for the child is unlikely to surprise anyone. The child spends almost all the time in the nursery while he is at home. And no matter how many upholstered furniture No matter how you furnish the room, the floor will still attract the baby. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to the flooring special attention. Not only is it important appearance, but also the material.

Types of flooring

Modern market finishing materials represented by many various types coverings for any interior. The main thing is not to get lost among this diversity and...

1. Laminate

A practical and aesthetic material that is often used to cover the floor in a nursery. This surface is made of natural wood, is installed quite simply. This is an environmentally friendly material, and therefore is perfect for a nursery.

Difference color range(natural wood shades) and wood-like textures allows you to choose the right option for the design of any children's room. Suitable for use by children of different ages. If the child is wearing socks in the room, it is best to purchase socks with anti-slip footprints. The noise characteristics of laminate flooring are low, so it is recommended to use a soundproofing underlay when laying it.

But with all the positive qualities, laminate also has disadvantages. The main one is interaction with liquids. Frequent wet cleaning and spills of various drinks and other liquids on the floor can render the material unusable in a short time.

The cost varies depending on the quality of the wood of the laminate board and outer covering. Acrylic resins in the manufacture of laminate are the safest for human health.

2. Linoleum

More universal material, which can imitate absolutely any texture and be of any color. Suitable for children's rooms that are designed for children of different ages. Has poor sound insulation.

The flooring for children's playrooms is often made of linoleum, as it has a number of advantages:

• wear-resistant under the influence of a number of factors (wet cleaning, scratches, etc.);
• excellent noise and heat insulator;
• safe for use (if you choose quality material).

The cost can vary both from the thickness of the linoleum and from the quality of its execution. Low-quality material may have foreign odors that are toxic to both children and adults.

3. Parquet and parquet boards

Naturalness, environmental friendliness, appearance - these are the undeniable advantages that are necessary for covering children's floors. Suitable for children of all ages, even the youngest. who spend most of their time on the floor. At making the right choice wood processing can last for a long time even with frequent wet cleaning.

The cost of such a coating is usually higher than other materials, since parquet consists of natural wood and has special ways processing. Laying the covering, although it takes longer, is considered suitable for a child’s room the best option. Also, this coating absorbs steps well and has high noise insulation.

When choosing parquet flooring for a children's room, safety is ensured against allergic reactions to various components of other coatings. Also the parquet has good thermal insulation properties. Non-glossy varnish coating will make it safer and avoid slipping.

Paint has both pros and cons. Among the positive qualities, we can note the practicality of use, the choice of any color, degree of gloss or matte.

The disadvantage is the difficulty of creating a floor, since it is necessary to perfectly flat surface, which must be carefully prepared in advance. Quality is also often an issue. paint and varnish material. More budget options may release toxins long after the paint is applied.

Painted floors do not have soundproofing qualities. Walking on a slippery floor is unsafe if you are wearing regular, non-marking socks. At the same time, this is a cold and uncomfortable surface that will definitely not please the child. Usually, in rooms with painted floors, carpets are used, which add coziness and comfort.

5. Other types

Other, more exotic types of flooring are also becoming popular. This is a cork covering, a massive board,

Arranging living space For their baby, parents think, first of all, about the functionality, as well as the complete safety of the room. In addition, great importance is given to the aesthetics of such a question. If pieces of furniture, wallpaper, as well as special modules for children's physical development are presented today in a variety of product ranges, there are practically no specialized floor coverings for children's rooms. It is for this reason that one has to be content with the classic design.

A child's room is usually not small. And this is where it turns out to combine a place to sleep, an area for games and study. The room in which the child lives must be comfortable and meet his needs. An abundance of shades and textures help the baby in its active development.

The modern floor covering market is diverse. Such a large product range often causes confusion. Let's try to systematize the familiar into a simple system.

Key questions

When choosing a floor covering for a nursery, it is important not to forget about the main points:

• environmental friendliness;
• ease of care;
• complete security;
• possibility of installing heated floors.

Environmental friendliness is very important when choosing good coverage for children's floors. After all, an illiterately purchased coating can release substances that are dangerous to a child’s body.

Safety. Your baby should be able to run and walk safely on the floor, even without shoes. Be sure to check the coating for non-slip properties before purchasing.

Ease of care is an issue that requires serious consideration. After all, kids often dirty not only their clothes, but also the floor. Stains and other types of contamination should be removed without difficulty, and without the use of any harmful chemicals.

The possibility of installing a heated floor cannot be called an important criterion, but today it is quite significant. Heating system does not always fully meet the requirements of caring parents that apply to climatic conditions in the baby's room.

Children often play on the floor, so main task Mom and dad's mission is to provide complete comfort to their precious children.

Now let's consider existing types floor coverings that comply with the listed rules, and let's talk about each in more detail.

Linoleum

If you are looking for something economical to lay on the floor in your baby’s room, then linoleum is what you need. It is easy to maintain, resistant to stress, durable, and lasts for more than 15 years.

The coating can be cleaned with various cleaning products. It can withstand significant temperature changes and the negative effects of the sun's rays. The coating belongs to the category of practically non-flammable materials.

As for the disadvantages, it is important to emphasize:

• wet linoleum is quite slippery;
• Only artificial turf will be affordable. Rubber linoleum costs much more compared to the popular synthetic coating.

In general, a negative attitude towards this coating has been formed since Soviet Union, when they decorated floor surfaces everywhere.

Today linoleum is very different from its counterpart in past years. Now it is characterized by a high degree of environmental friendliness, maximum safety, and the unpleasant aroma disappears quite quickly. For a baby's room, linoleum is perfect to combine with carpet or soft carpeting.

Carpet

It is considered a warm, very soft floor covering and can be an excellent alternative to heavy, large carpets. This coating has high heat-retaining and sound-proofing characteristics. Modern carpet is treated with fire-resistant and antiseptic compounds.

The main disadvantage is that the coating is not natural. This type of soft floor for children's rooms requires regular cleaning, as it quickly accumulates dust. The cleaning issue will be resolved quickly if you buy a modern washing vacuum cleaner.

It is not necessary to cover the entire floor surface of the room with carpet. You can hide a small part, for example, a place for children's games.

Parquet

This floor covering in the nursery, as in the photo, is natural. Parquet is made from natural solid wood. This is a practical and completely environmentally friendly coating. With proper care, this floor will last for decades.

The wood floor breathes, making it pleasant to walk on barefoot. Neither laminate, nor especially linoleum can create worthy competition for it. Parquet has an attractive appearance and is soft on the feet.

However, it is not without its drawbacks. Parquet requires special care. It is important to protect this type of floor from various pranks of children. It is difficult to remove various types of stains from it. In addition, the cost of parquet boards is quite high.

Laminate

Nowadays laminate flooring is increasingly in demand. Its cost is lower compared to parquet, and in appearance it resembles a natural solid floor. This floor is easy to care for, unpretentious in use, and very resistant to the negative effects of mechanical influence. Floor laminated coating It is not difficult to install and does not deform.

This floor is perfect for a children's room, as it is very warm. The range of shades and surface designs are very diverse, which makes it possible to fit such a coating into any interior space.

Cork flooring

This warm covering — best option for the floor of a baby's room. Despite its softness, cork is quite durable, cannot be deformed, does not become dusty, and is environmentally friendly.

There are only a few nuances that can discourage you from choosing - high cost and difficulty in removing stains. However, if applied to a similar floor special composition, then the issue with stains can be quickly resolved.

Tile

This is a hard and durable floor. Floor tiles It is environmentally friendly; on such a surface there is no proliferation of pathogenic microbes. The surface is easy to clean. However, without a warm special floor and carpeting, this floor is not suitable for a room where small children live.

Self-leveling floor covering

This is one of the promising coatings. Of course, the material is artificial, but safe for health. This technology makes it possible to create any design you like.

The floors are easy to clean, but to preserve their original appearance, proper care is essential. Sliding is also considered a disadvantage.

Conclusion

Choosing suitable covering For a children's floor surface, it is important to carefully weigh your capabilities and wishes. It is necessary to evaluate the pros and cons of each modern coating for the floor to choose the most suitable option.

Do not forget that children do not care about the price of an original parquet board or an exclusive carpet in the room where they live. It is necessary that this coating retains children's health and contributed to active development.

If you follow the simple rules that were mentioned today in this article, then you will not be intimidated by the variety of colors and the range of materials offered by a wide range of specialized modern stores.

Photo of floors in a children's room

How to choose the right flooring for a children's room? Which is better - cork, parquet or laminate? Or maybe it's worth putting practical linoleum or soft and comfortable carpet? We will answer these and many other questions.

Flooring for a children's playroom: what should the material be?

When choosing flooring for a nursery, parents should forget about such evaluation criteria as price and ease of installation. You need to focus on other characteristics, namely the following:

1. Environmentally friendly. The material must be natural or, at least, not release toxins and carcinogens.
2. Safety. The coating should not be too hard or slippery, have uneven surfaces, or metal protruding elements (corners, screws, nails).
3. Hypoallergenic.
4. High wear-resistant qualities. Children not only crawl and run on the floor, but also roll cars on it with metal wheels, scratched with different toys.
5. Moisture resistance. The flooring for a children's playroom should not have absolute protection from water, as is required, for example, in a bathroom, but children constantly spill something, which means it is necessary to ensure that a child’s mistake does not become a disaster.
6. Resistance to fading in the sun. As a rule, they try to make a children's room as light as possible, which means that the floors will also be exposed to ultraviolet radiation.
7. Easy to care for and resistant to stains. These characteristics are more important for parents, since babies often draw on the floor with paints and markers, and mothers have to clean the room several times a day.

Laminate

Although it contains synthetic components, it is considered an environmentally friendly and safe coating. It is resistant to damage, easy to clean and retains heat well. Another plus is that recently the price of quality laminate has decreased somewhat due to high competition, but it also looks quite modern.

This flooring for a children's room is ideal option for those who want to install a “warm floor” system.

There are also some disadvantages: laminate can be very “noisy” if it is placed incorrectly or if the backing is too thin; in addition, plasticine is difficult to clean off, it is quite slippery and often fades in the sun. And low-quality laminate emits formaldehyde and harmful resins, so you must definitely ask for a quality certificate in the store.

PVC tiles

The flooring for a children's room should not be made of PVC tiles. This simple rule was previously based on the characteristics of the material: the floor was slippery, cold, and, in addition, synthetics raised concerns about the safety and health of children.

Today everything has changed. Modern PVC tiles are high-quality, comfortable, warm, wear-resistant material with shock-absorbing properties, impervious to high humidity and temperature changes. Despite the fact that the coating is 100% synthetic, it has a special hygienic certificate. It does not deform under the weight of heavy furniture, is easy to wash and clean, and any damaged tiles are easy to replace.

Initially, PVC tiles were intended exclusively for the kitchen and corridor, but in some houses they began to be laid in children's rooms.

Linoleum

This flooring for an economy class children's room is inexpensive and practical. This material is not afraid of water, it has good wear resistance, especially for semi-commercial or commercial ones, and in a good situation it will last for decades. It is very easy to wash linoleum; you can do wet cleaning in the nursery several times a day.

However, many parents do not even consider this option, since such material is considered not environmentally friendly. In addition, wet linoleum can lead to falls, injuries and bruises. Another unpleasant moment is the smell. Cheap, low-quality linoleum smells very strongly even in a huge room. trading floor, and if you put it in small room, then the smell becomes simply unbearable. But this drawback can also be found in other coatings, the manufacturers of which neglected quality standards. For example, carpet or PVC tiles can also have a specific aroma. It is better to refuse such a purchase immediately.

Today in the markets you can find marmoleum or environmentally friendly linoleum. It consists of 95-97% natural substances, it is more difficult to care for, and it is not as durable as other materials. But this coating is safe, and manufacturers are increasing its wear resistance from year to year.

Carpet

Many parents choose soft flooring for their children's room, namely carpet. It makes the room feel cozy and comfortable, and given that babies spend most of their time on the floor, this option seems quite logical. But carpet has many disadvantages: it accumulates electricity, since it is made of synthetics; it collects a lot of dust, which makes it unsafe for children, even if it is made from hypoallergenic materials. I also don’t like this coating high humidity in the room, and for babies, on the contrary, doctors recommend breathing moist, cool air. Carpet is very easy to spoil or stain; plasticine and other substances leave stains on it, so there is a chance that it will quickly lose its original appearance.

Currently, more and more families are abandoning carpet in favor of other materials or making a combined floor (laminate + carpet) with separate functional areas. In addition, it is useful for buyers to know that, in addition to hypoallergenic, there are also antistatic synthetics.

Cork floor

Cork is the best flooring for a child's room. The photo below shows how good this material looks, but it is valued for more than just its attractive appearance. Cork flooring is warm, elastic, with high shock-absorbing properties, which means that children will have less stress on the spine. It is 100% natural and therefore safe. The disadvantages of this material include intolerance to high humidity.

However, there are a lot of negative reviews about this flooring. The thing is that, under the guise of a full-fledged material, unscrupulous sellers (manufacturers) hand over to the buyer a regular screed for laminate flooring, the so-called technical plug. Such a floor will not last even a year, since it has low wear resistance and quickly deforms.

Parquet

Which flooring is best for a children's room? Of course, one that is made from natural materials. Parquet in this regard has only advantages - it is safe, environmentally friendly, warm, and not noisy (compared to laminate). The disadvantages include the fact that parquet is easily damaged (scratches and small irregularities can be easily eliminated). In addition, this material does not like changes in humidity and temperature. And, of course, the cost of finishing is important for parents, and good parquet is expensive.

Warm floors and soft puzzle rugs

The flooring in a children's room is often supplemented with a “warm floor” system. But it cannot be mounted under every material, and in some cases this is simply impossible. In addition, it is not recommended to install electric heated floors in children's rooms. This is due to the fact that the child will be affected electromagnetic radiation. Therefore, in rooms where kids spend a lot of time, it is better to install a water-heated floor.

Recently, more and more often in rooms you can see light colored tiles made of foamed polymer, assembled like a puzzle into a large canvas. This can hardly be called a full-fledged floor covering, rather an alternative to carpet and rug. This material is good in all respects - it is soft, safe, easy to clean, and children enjoy playing with it. In addition, any damaged piece of this puzzle can be removed or replaced.

It is worth considering a number of criteria: it must be environmentally friendly safe, or better yet, made from natural materials, not cold so that the child can play comfortably on the floor. In addition, the coating must be non-slip and not cause serious mechanical damage when falling, and given the games of children, also easy to care for. It is desirable that the material be fireproof, moisture resistant, hypoallergenic and resistant to scratches and chips. Don't forget about aesthetic component, because taste is formed from childhood. What floor coverings meet these requirements?

No. 1. Wooden floor

What could be more natural than wood? This is the most environmentally friendly coating that does not emit harmful substances and cannot cause allergies. Under wood covering usually mean And piece parquet , the difference between which is only in length. To the benefits wooden floor worth mentioning:

Among the disadvantages of this solution it is worth noting:

No. 2. Parquet board

No. 3. Laminate

No. 4. Cork

No. 5. Marmoleum

A natural alternative to artificial linoleum is. The basis of this coating is cork or jute, the rest is sawdust, oils, chalk and other components. This composition allows us to talk about marmoleum as a natural material, but its advantages do not end there. Among other advantages it is worth noting:

• resistance to mechanical damage;
• high rates of heat and sound insulation;
• antibacterial properties due to the presence of linseed oil;
• sufficient softness of the coating, which is achieved through the use of a thick backing;
• resistance to moisture;
• antistatic and fireproof;
• easy to maintain and durable.

Main disadvantage This option has a high price. You will also have to spend money on paying specialists who will carry out the installation competently, since it is difficult to do it yourself - the work requires knowledge of many nuances. If the installation process is not carried out according to the rules, the marmoleum may simply break; this can also happen as a result of improper transportation.

No. 6. PVC tiles

No. 7. Carpet

Carpet is also often used to furnish children's rooms. It is worth noting that carpet does not belong to natural materials, But modern technologies allow you to create material that is not hazardous to the health of the child.

His fans call him a lot of advantages of the coating:

The material also has enough disadvantages, so before choosing it is important to carefully weigh everything:

• the pile attracts dust, which is almost impossible to completely remove, and this poses a risk to the child’s health;
• stains from carpet are also difficult to remove, so this material is very difficult to maintain.

No. 8. Soft floors

One of the most modern options finishing floors in the nursery. More recently, soft floors have appeared on the market, which are made of foamed polymer, completely safe for health. They are sold in the form of modules, often puzzles, and the use of such a coating has a number of advantages:

• soft elastic surface, which is most suitable for active games in the nursery;
• ease of installation and ease of repair. If one of the modules is damaged, replacing it will not be difficult;
• such a coating does not attract dust, is not afraid of water and temperature changes;
• ease of care;
In conclusion

A children's room requires a careful approach to arrangement so that the child grows up in maximum safety. In pursuit of a natural, non-slip and easy-to-clean surface, we must not forget that tastes are formed from childhood, so you should also pay attention to the decorative component of the floor covering. When the child has grown up and already has his own opinion, it would not be amiss to ask his opinion about the arrangement of his own room.
