What can be cooked from squid: quick and tasty

A modern children's room. It should be safe, reliable, beautiful and warm. Give preference to environmentally friendly materials - taking care of your baby's health is more important than worrying about the cost of coverage.

Basic requirements for floor coverings for children

The room where small family members live is significantly different from other premises of an apartment or house. Parents have to consider a large number of factors when equipping children's floors. For the nursery, the following nuances can be noted:

High level of dynamic load. Kids jump, run, play a lot.
There is a high likelihood of liquid contacting the surface of the coating. It can be juice or water for painting.
During outdoor games, chips, scratches and abrasions may appear on the surface.
One of the favorite childhood activities is drawing with felt-tip pens. But the marble streaks left by these stationery do not adorn the floors at all. Therefore, the floor in the children's room must have high level resistance to stains and abrasion.

Certain requirements are also imposed on the quality and performance characteristics of materials:

Environmental Safety. Coatings that release toxic fumes into the air can cause your child to develop asthma or allergic reactions.
Amortization of steps. Experts do not recommend equipping too hard floors in the children's room. They are quite dangerous for the health of babies. A hard surface can provoke the development of flat feet and will be a serious strain on the child's spine.
The floor in the nursery should not be slippery.

Finding a floor covering for a children's bedroom that would satisfy all of the above points is quite difficult. Manufacturers offer potential buyers a large selection of flooring materials, but each of them has its own special advantages and disadvantages. When choosing suitable option parents should focus their attention not only on the pros, but also on those shortcomings with which they are willing to accept. Remember that the choice of coverage is also influenced by the age of the child. For example, for babies, it is better to choose washable materials, and older children can lay a carpet with a long, fluffy pile on the floor.

Parquet for the nursery

This is perhaps the most the best way from the point of view of environmental safety. But it is also one of the most expensive. Parquet is made of natural wood and has the following advantages:

a wide variety of colors, textures and shapes;
excellent wear resistance;
low level of thermal conductivity;
excellent sound insulation.

Parquet boards damaged during operation can be repaired and put in order without complicated dismantling. But for all the advantages listed above and the absence of disadvantages, parents will have to pay a decent amount.

Laminate in the nursery

The material is made from compressed wood waste, interconnected with resin. From above, the coating is laminated with a film. It is relative a budget option, among the advantages of which are:

practicality;
strength;
beautiful appearance.

As for environmental safety, everything here depends on the price category of materials. If you give preference to the cheapest laminate, then you can find melanin-formaldehyde resins in its composition. A quality laminate that costs a little more is completely safe for babies. It is best if the coating is based on an advanced acrylic resin.

Cork floor in the nursery

Cork is a useful and environmentally friendly coating. The material has bactericidal properties. The advantages include:

strength;
moisture resistance;
softness;
ease of care.

According to orthopedists, cork floors are the best floors for a children's room. This elastic material is able to reduce the stress on the skeleton of the baby, which is taking its first steps. But cork is an expensive material that not all parents can afford.

Linoleum in the nursery

This material is the most popular among buyers. The high demand is due to its low price. On sale presented the widest choice design and color solutions... There is one that is made only from natural, high quality materials. Experts advise using this option for a children's room. Cheap linoleum is toxic and can harm a child's health.

Carpet in the nursery

It is considered the softest, warmest and most comfortable coating. If you put a carpet in the room, then the baby will be able to spend a lot of time playing on the floor. But when choosing a children's carpet, you need to be careful and prudent. Carpets are not suitable for children with allergies or asthma. The disadvantages include the fact that the coating is difficult to clean. If parents choose carpet, then preference should be given to models with a short pile. Kids love baby floor rugs that feature fairytale characters, cars or nature.

In the children's room, you can combine floor coverings. For example, on linoleum or parquet flooring, you can lay a small rug on which the child will play with his favorite toys.

We present you with design know-how floor coverings for children: a revolutionary invention, environmentally friendly and comfortable soft floor for children's rooms.

Important! EVA flooring in modern European preschools is installed more often than wood flooring or.

Not surprising! Indeed, in case of an accidental fall on such a floor, the baby simply has no chance of getting various injuries. But the soft EVA floor not only received the well-deserved recognition for this.

Security. The soft cover for the nursery, made using EVA technology, has all the necessary certificates confirming its absolute harmlessness to humans. This floor is odorless, environmentally friendly and very pleasant to the touch.
Mobility. The EVA cover consists of individual modules that are easy to assemble and disassemble. If desired, the soft floor can be moved to another place and even taken with you on a trip.

Comfort. The modular coating has good thermal insulation, similar to that of a "warm floor". Modern floor construction dampens all noises and perfectly dampens falls, which is very important for young children.

Wear resistance. Soft EVA floor tolerates moisture well, exposure to household chemicals. It is easy to clean, does not fade, is resistant to high / low temperatures and withstands any test with plasticine and paints. You will not see footprints, sharp claws of cats or dogs on such a coating.
Hypoallergenic. EVA layer does not accumulate static stress even after long-term walking on it. Therefore, such a coating does not attract dust at all - this perfect material will protect children from the appearance of various allergens.

A colorful world of childhood for your child!

Now, young researchers will have something to do on the floor. The soft floor for children's playrooms is produced in the form of colorful, bright puzzles, different in color and texture. These are letters, numbers, butterflies, interesting animals, entertaining figures, leaves, fairy-tale characters, landscapes of nature. They can be used to compose original drawings and compositions.

Attention! Choose a puzzle floor according to the age of your baby. An EVA layer can have small details that a young explorer will definitely taste.

Enterprising parents from soft modules collect cozy houses for their crumbs, interesting large cubes, even playpens and toy boxes.

On a note! For older children, manufacturers offer jigsaw puzzles, road rules, a map of the world. If you wish, you can change the pattern of the EVA floor every day and create new ones for babies. exciting activities that will develop his thinking, memory, logic, fine motor skills and motor activity.

Idea! Let's connect imagination and make a multifunctional honeycomb covering from an ordinary soft floor. We need an ordinary, standard set of puzzle carpet, but in such a way that there are twice as many puzzles in it than are needed to arrange the room.

With the help of a sharp knife, we will turn half of the modules into an original honeycomb structure and glue the honeycomb puzzles onto ordinary ones. After installation, we will get an amazing design, and healing dried ones can be glued into the resulting cells

Choosing a floor in a children's room is a challenge! The wrong approach in this matter can in the future turn into such problems as asthma and allergic reactions in a child, an expensive coating spoiled in the first year, rotted floorboards under the laminate and noticeable scratches. That is why such a choice must be approached with special responsibility, if you are not eager to make a new renovation every summer.

Children's room: one thousand and one requirement

So, what makes a children's room so different from any other? And why is the choice of flooring always given so much attention? The fact is that in this room it is always:

High dynamic load (children run, jump, and sometimes with friends).
Risk of moisture on the coating (children draw and drink juice).
Scratches, chips and scuffs in the most unexpected places (children always play outdoor games).
"Marble" stains from felt-tip pens (favorite activity of kids).

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

Environmental friendliness. The child should not start suffocating from dust or allergens after a few months.
Amortization of steps. For young children, too hard coating is even dangerous to health: it is a serious load on the spine and the risk of developing flat feet.
The surface should not be slippery - to avoid accidental injury.

But, if you add all these requirements together, then, perhaps, there is no such floor covering in the whole world. Each of the species existing today has one or another advantage, and for the right choice you need to focus more not on the pros, but on what flaws 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 are popular floor coverings for a nursery today, what is their composition and the process of laying, what substances are used during the installation process ( important question) and much more. Let's hit the road!

Cork - heat and shock absorption

Today this is the most demanding coverage for a nursery. Soft, eco-friendly and quiet - what could be better? It's just not uncommon for a situation when in one family the cork has lain for only two years and already has a tortured appearance, while in the other it has served faithfully for a dozen years, and the children in both families are equally active. So where, in fact, do so many negative reviews about this coverage come from, when alongside there are no less laudatory ones?

It's simple: the cork is different from the cork. Those. you can buy really high quality material, or you can simply stumble upon a fake. Let's take a little look at all this.

So, there is such a thing as a technical plug. It is made from leftovers and is used as a backing for laminate flooring. It performs its functions of soundproofing and softening the course well, and it is it 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 traffic jam will not last long.

The second type of cork floors is glue. They can be found on sale in the form of tiles, which are attached with glue joint to joint. The cracks are not visible, such a floor is not afraid of moisture, but the very presence of glue confuses many parents.

Cork parquet (cork laminate) Is a cork floor made of individual panels. It is already afraid of moisture, and the seams are deformed over time due to the slightest dampness, and therefore is suitable only 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 parquet.

Also, the cork can be different in the way of laying: lock and glue, and in the first case, low-ecological glue is not needed. But in the second and even the cork itself in the composition of the coating is very small, pay attention to this fact. Here is one of the styling options:

Real cork flooring has great advantages:

Soundproofing. The result is grateful neighbors from below.
Warmly. Less common childhood illnesses.
Step cushioning. A healthier spine in a child.
Environmental friendliness. There is no fear for all sorts of different volatile and dangerous substances.
Elasticity. Any dents will heal quickly enough.

But of the minuses, it is worth noting that a warm floor cannot be installed under the cork cover. Moreover, you can put cork laminate on the underfloor heating system, but cork sheets cannot. It's just that this material will let out no more than 20% of the thermal energy, such is its property. And the price, of course, is high, considering that the cork is also wear-resistant. And also n The surface of the cork is quite rough, the child will not slip once again, but home shoes and socks will wear off quickly.

The cork floor has served for about ten years, and its partial repair is possible - today a special varnish for it is being sold. Modern cork floors are no longer at all like one loose terracotta surface - they are produced today with beautiful photo prints 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 nice, you can put some kind of rugs on top. Laminate flooring is maximally adapted for, it easily tolerates temperature fluctuations and fits without any particular difficulties even with the most complex conceived schemes. It is impossible to put only a cheap series laminate on a warm floor - from 8 mm.

And now - about the cons. Let's just say that not everyone puts laminate flooring in bedrooms or children's rooms - more because of the fear that this material releases 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 from a well-known brand and ask the seller to look at the relevant quality certificates.

Laminate flooring is also quite noisy. It loves to squeak, fades in the sun and requires a perfectly flat base. Even a cat that just walked around the room can make a sound as good as heels. And, if you do not think over high-quality soundproofing for the neighbors below, they will be angry with you. Laminate is also slippery, which is not very good for a nursery.

But there is still such a "but": laminate is a pressed cardboard impregnated with glue and covered with melamine resin. Those. for all its attractiveness, it is not the most sustainable product. But practical and able to withstand the pranks of more than one child.

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

Parquet board - style and solidity

Importantly, the noise from the parquet board is much less than from the laminate, on which there is a crash even from a falling pencil. Moreover, you are lightweight, unlike parquet. By the way, any scratches on a parquet board can be repaired - with a special varnish and polishing.

Parquet board, due to its more natural base, is susceptible to scratches and dents. You need to handle it with care, and such a floor can be made in a children's room only if you have a very neat child. Moreover, it is environmentally friendly parquet board intended more for bedrooms, where there is little traffic. Also, the parquet board does not tolerate fluctuations in humidity and air temperature - it quickly shrinks and swells.

Bottom line: parquet is a finicky floor, but beautiful and quite environmentally friendly. For children's rooms - for quiet and tidy children who spend almost the whole day in hobby schools, and prefer active games on 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.

And here's what the styling 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 moving undertakings, you have to crawl or lean on your knees. For such children, a warm one is more suitable.

But many modern parents, taught by dozens of programs and the Internet, are actively throwing away all the "dust collectors" from children's children, 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 colors and designs, thickness, quality and workmanship. 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, it will be quite easy to dismantle this floor covering.

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

Market innovations with a claim to sustainability

And now - all about the novelties for children's rooms, and not only.

Marmoleum - eco-friendly linoleum

Just five to ten years ago, linoleum in a children's room was considered sacrilege. Non-ecological, sometimes with a well-perceptible chemical odor, cheap. Although until now, for the sake of economy, such a coating is laid in children's rooms.

But today, thanks to the appearance of a new version of it - - you can revise this option again. This is the cover which is 97% natural raw materials. Its main advantages are 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 needs to be professional, and caring for it is a little more difficult.

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

What marmoleum is still good for a child's room is that you can put a thick substrate under it, and it will be soft and comfortable for a one-year-old baby to walk. And here's how the standard styling of this natural linoleum works:

PVC tiles - will take everything!

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

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

This is an ideal option for the noisiest and most mobile children, to whom the company also loves to drop in. These tiles are easy to repair without having to do anything with the entire floor. Easy to wash, even automatic means, and after a year or two, it's not a pity to re-stick it to 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 is like to raise two or three children in the same room prefer this option. Speaking of environmental friendliness: PVC tiles are not a natural material, but they do not emit any harmful substances into the air. Therefore, it can be called environmentally friendly to some extent. Moreover, PVC coatings even have a special hygienic certificate, which makes it possible to use both in educational and medical institutions, and this already says a lot.

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

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

If you look at the substrates for PVC tiles, then only two options are suitable for it: a screed or tightly laid and putty plywood. It is easy to lay such tiles: we just 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 terms of sound insulation characteristics!

Soft floor - a new word in technology

Look also at the modern soft floor. It is made using the new EVA technology, and consists of soft granules, colored in desired color... Usually manufacturers release it in the form of separate puzzles with inserts, and in a matter of minutes you can assemble and lay the floor according to your own design idea. At the same time, it is easy to clean, soft, warm in sensations and is always very popular with children.

But sometimes you can also find exotic floors among the proposals - from rare wood or an interesting composition. Here you already need to be approached individually, but usually such floors are also not compatible with infrared, electric or water, unfortunately.

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

A good host always pays special attention to the living space of his child. Indeed, the most stringent requirements are always applied to the quality of the repair performed in this particular room. And this is especially true for the flooring. Linoleum or parquet, board or carpet, tile or laminate - any floor covering in a children's room will be subject to increased operational stress. Let's figure out which floor in the children's room would be better to do?

Consider the most common flooring options for a nursery.

Laminate in the children's room

Laminate is a beautiful modern finishing material, which today is more often than others used to equip the finishing flooring. Wear-resistant, reliable, easy to install - considered almost ideal solution in terms of price and quality ratio. However, if you decide that it is he who will be in your baby's room, then you should know the main disadvantages of the laminated product.

Hydrophobicity

For a laminate, hydrophobicity is both its alpha and omega. Anyone who wants to point out the Achilles heel of laminated flooring will recall this very weakness. Yes, the laminate can be of better quality and more moisture resistant, but if your child decides to take the "initiative" and organize "wet" cleaning in the room, flooding the floor with water directly from the bucket - the coating cannot be saved.

Synthetic origin

Not everything is "clean" in laminate and in origin. Whatever one may say, it is still synthetic, and not natural material... And synthetics can only be relatively safe for human health.

Material price 300-3000 rubles / m 2
The price of laying is 250-300 rubles / m2;

Parquet board in the children's room

A parquet board made of natural wood in a nursery looks much more preferable than a synthetic laminate, but it also costs several times more. Of course, in terms of environmental friendliness, natural material is always in the lead, but this product is not ideal either. So the service life of a parquet board is only about 10-12 years, and if we take into account the increased operational loads that children are subjected to, then these figures can be safely divided in half. In addition, like laminate, parquet is hydrophobic, although to a lesser extent.

Material price 1000-7000 rubles / m 2
Installation price 500-700 rubles / m2

Parquet in the children's room

Ecological cleanliness
Low thermal conductivity
Good sound insulation
Artistic potential
High wear resistance
Long service life
Not afraid of water

If the parquet is damaged during operation, then it can most often be repaired without time-consuming dismantling.

But for all these bonuses you have to pay and pay dearly! Prices for parquet works, as well as the construction materials themselves, are among the most expensive among all possible in this target segment.

Material price 650-2500 rubles / m 2
(plus toners, adhesives, varnishes)
Turnkey laying price from 1350 rubles / m2
1. Plywood laying 200 rub / m2
2. Plywood scrapping 100 rub / m 2
3. Parquet laying from 500 rubles / m2
4. Standard scraping 150 rub / m2
5. Additional grinding RUB 100 / m2
6. Putty 100 rub / m 2
7. Toning 100 rub / m2
8. Application of varnish or parquet oil 100 rubles / m2

Linoleum is another material that has been used since Soviet times as a floor covering for different types premises. There are two main types on sale.

Homogeneous
Heterogeneous

The first type is of higher quality and wear-resistant, the second has a more attractive cost. Both are not afraid of water, have a huge "life" and require minimal maintenance.

Unfortunately, with such indisputable advantages, linoleum still remains a plastic. Its main constituent component, polyvinyl chloride, is not an example of environmental friendliness. Therefore, it is not recommended to install such coatings in rooms where children permanently reside. After all, linoleum is an office option for arranging the floor.

Material price 250-1250 rubles / m 2
The price of laying is 100-300 rubles / m2

Carpet is one of the modern flooring materials. It is used both in office and residential premises. It is just a huge non-removable carpet. Possesses excellent heat and sound insulation qualities, excellent decor properties. In addition, quality samples of this material are wear-resistant and quite durable. And if we also take into account the pleasant sensations during direct contact with this product, then it may mistakenly seem that it is ideal for a nursery.

Alas, this product also has its drawbacks. The fact is that such a "carpet" covering is very capricious in its care and has an unpleasant property to accumulate dust, dirt and various bacteria. And this, despite the environmental friendliness of the material itself, is very dangerous for a young, fragile organism. As a conclusion, it is not recommended to lay carpet in the nursery.

Material price 150-700 rubles / m 2
The price of laying is 250-350 rubles / m 2

In principle, there is no special floor covering specially designed for children, and each owner chooses exactly the technology that he likes best or the cost of which best correlates with the size of the budget allocated for the renovation. But nevertheless, certain information about the specifics of the use of a particular material in the children's room is simply necessary to know in order to make the optimal decision on which floor is better to do in the children's room?

Specialist comment.

There are a number of criteria to consider: it must be environmentally friendly safe, or better made from natural materials, not cold so that the child is comfortable playing on the floor. In addition, the cover 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. Do not forget about aesthetic component, because the taste is formed from childhood. What kind of flooring meets these requirements?

# 1. Wooden floor

What could be more natural than wood? This is the most environmentally friendly coating that does not emit harmful substances and is not capable of causing allergies. Wooden flooring usually means and block parquet, the difference between which is only in length. The advantages of a wooden floor include:

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 this. The basis of this coating is cork or jute, the rest is sawdust, oils, chalk and other components. Such a composition allows us to speak of marmoleum as a natural material, but this is not the end of its advantages. 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 substrate;
resistance to moisture;
antistatic and fire safety;
ease of care and durability.

The main disadvantage of this option - high price... You will also have to spend money on the payment of specialists who will competently carry out the installation, since it is difficult to do it on your own - the work requires knowledge of many nuances. If the laying process is not carried out according to the rules, the marmoleum can simply break, the same can happen as a result of improper transportation.

No. 6. PVC tiles

No. 7. Carpet

Carpets are also often used to furnish children's rooms. It should be noted that carpet does not apply to natural materials, but modern technologies allow you to create material that is harmless to the health of the child.

His fans call many advantages of coating:

There are also enough cons of the material., therefore, it is important to weigh everything carefully before choosing:

the pile attracts dust, which is almost impossible to remove completely, and this carries a risk to the health of the child;
stains from the carpet are also difficult to remove, so this material is very difficult to clean.

No. 8. Soft floors

One of the most modern options for finishing floors in the nursery. More recently, soft floors have appeared on the market, which are made of foamed polymer, which is completely safe for health. They are sold in the form of modules, often puzzles, and the use of such a coating has several 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, it will not be difficult to replace it;
such a coating does not attract dust, is not afraid of water and temperature changes;
ease of care;

The children's room requires a careful approach to the arrangement so that the child grows up in maximum safety. In pursuit of naturalness, non-slip and easy-to-clean surface, it is necessary not to forget that tastes are formed from childhood, therefore, it is worth paying attention to the decorative component of the floor covering. When the child has grown up and already has his own opinion, it will not be superfluous to ask his opinion about the arrangement of his own room.
