Laminate
Flooring is the one of the hottest flooring products being sold today.
For those consumers who want a floor that is meant for active lifestyles,
is easy to keep clean, and is fairly inexpensive, a laminate floor may
be exactly what they are searching for.
For those of you
who are wonde ring what is a laminate floor, it is really a combination
of special resins (melamine), paper layers, fiber core, and a print
film that are all fused together into a solid mass. Although they appear
similar to a Formica countertop, they are really much more durable and
scratch resistant. Due to it's construction and components, laminate
flooring will not stain, fade from sunlight, and the finish is extremely
impact resistant. These floors have precision tongue and groove edges
for securing the planks together with specially formulated glue, and
they are always floated over a thin plastic padding.
Typical Laminate Floor Construction

A.
WEAR LAYER: Using heat and direct pressure the wear layer
is literally fused to the high-density core and is transparent
This allows the beauty of the design layer to shine through.
B. DESIGN LAYER: The source of the flooring's beautiful patterns.
C. HIGH-DENSITY CORE: The high-density core is highly impact
resistance.
D. TONGUE & GROOVE: Milled to minute tolerances, the attachment
system provides an exceptionally precise fit.
E. BACK LAYER: The backing helps lock out moisture and provides
structural stablility.
F. UNDERLAYMENT: The flooring underlayment helps deaden noises,
so the floor sounds like real wood when walked upon. |

One
of the really exciting things with laminate flooring is that a few
of the manufacturers have been able to recreate some of the old
historical hardwood flooring styles, like rough sawn barn oak, American
chestnut, knotty pine, and several others. These floors can really
add to the charm and feel of a room, without breaking your pocket
book. Some of the manufacturers also offer laminate floors in ceramic
tile patterns. |
