For example, in a bathroom, it is better to opt for a tiling or a vinyl than for a parquet floor because of the projections of water. In an entrance or A corridor, given the passage, you will also have to choose particularly resistant floors. " In the kitchen too, resistance is essential due to the many trampling or the risks of bringing objects. To judge the resistance of a soil, rely in the UPEC classification, U as wear, p as punching, e as water, c as chemistry (CTSB standard). In the case of the kitchen, the tiles must be classified U3.
