What is Laminate Flooring?

Laminate flooring is a versatile and cost-effective flooring option known for its durability and stylish appearance. It comprises several layers carefully engineered to provide a sturdy and attractive flooring solution. Here's a breakdown of the layers that make up laminate flooring:

Wear Layer: 

• The topmost layer of laminate is the wear layer, often made of aluminum oxide or melamine resin.
• It protects the floor from scratches, stains, and fading caused by sunlight.

Decorative Layer:

• Beneath the wear layer lies the decorative layer, which features a high-resolution image of wood, stone, or tile.
• This layer creates the realistic appearance of the flooring.

Core Layer:

• The core layer provides the laminate floor with structural integrity and stability.
• It is typically composed of high-density fiberboard (HDF) or particleboard.

Backing Layer:

• The bottommost layer, known as the backing layer, is a moisture barrier and enhances the floor's stability.
• It helps prevent warping and ensures the longevity of the flooring.

Professional Laminate Flooring Installation

Anywhere you can install engineered hardwood, you can install laminate. Laminate’s durability allows it to be installed in kitchens and entryways. Laminate can replicate the look of natural hardwood so that you can install it in bedrooms, living rooms, and hallways, and your guests won’t be able to tell the difference unless you tell them.

Laminate floors are available in a floating floor system and must not be glued down. Floating floors are fast and easy to install; you can walk on them the same day. Laminate flooring requires very little maintenance compared to hardwood flooring. Regular sweeping and vacuuming are the best ways to care for laminate floors. Spills should be wiped up immediately; occasional mopping with manufacturer-approved products is recommended.
