| 畳 Tatami | 柔道でもおなじみのたたみ。 代表的な日本スタイルの部屋。イグサという植物を編んで作られている。イグサの香りは鎮静作用があり、 畳みの部屋にいると心が落ち着く。防音性がある。If you are familiar with Judo, you may have heard of 'tatami'. It is the traditional type of flooring used in Japan, and is a kinitted mat made of a plant called Igusa (rush). Igusa is said to have a gentle calming scent, so tatami rooms are ideal for relaxing in. As an added benifit, tatami is soundproof! |
| フローリング Flooring | 木板でできている床。見た目はきれいだが、 傷つきやすく防音効果があまり期待できない。'Flooring' is made of wooden board. Although is tends to look neat, it scratches easily, and it not soundproof. |
| クッションフロアCushioned floor | 表面がビニールで覆われているため、
火に弱い反面、耐水性は優れている。爪を立てると薄っすらと跡がつく柔らかい床。 Cushioned floor is floorboards covered in a type of plastic. Since it is rather soft, it won't hold up well in a fire. On the plus side, it's waterproof. |
| じゅうたん Carpet | 防音効果が高く肌触りが良いが、
日本は湿度が高いため、ダニの温床となる心配がある。また、汚れやすく賃貸物件にはあまり使われない。
Carpeting is effectively soundproof and, of course, very comfortable. On the down side, since Japan is so humid, carpet owners need to be wary of ticks and other bugs breeding in their flooring. Carpet is also very hard to keep clean. These two reasons are why rental rooms with carpeting are so rarely found in Japan. |
