Alas, the life of linoleum from the owners almost does not depend. You can lay it on a perfectly flat floor and walk around the house on tiptoe, but if you miss it with a choice, after a couple of years it will still be covered with scratches and dents and lose the old gloss. And it will always be on the conscience of the manufacturer who has not taken care of the protection and increase the wear resistance of the coating. However, you also have to decide: are you ready to pay a little more per square meter in order to forget about the problems with the floor for the next 10-20 years? If yes, then you need linoleum from well-known manufacturers, who in their work use the latest technology to guarantee maximum durability and durability of coatings.
