When laminating, each material is made in different layers. Heat, pressure or adhesives are used for this. Lamination is used to increase strength, durability, insulation (especially in northern areas where temperatures are low year-round), and attractiveness.
A laminate floor is a multi-layered floor covering made by laminating, giving it the appearance of wood, stone and sometimes tile. Wood floor laminate is gaining popularity compared to modern finishes such as hardwood floors due to its ease of installation (very suitable for the DIY designer), hygienic properties, cost-effectiveness and maintenance. Enjoy the warmth of wood in your home without having to install a real wood floor in your home. The aesthetic quality makes for a hassle-free and hassle-free experience. Wood floor laminate has an advantage over traditional flooring techniques such as:
Durability:
Wood laminate floors are much more durable and less prone to scratches, wear, staining and moisture than hardwood floors, which are quite easily scratched, stained and damaged. This makes cleaning easier and ensures a good look.
Cleaning:
Another advantage of laminating your floor is that stains, dust and any stuck dirt particles can be removed simply and easily. The floor has a shiny appearance, so it doesn’t need much cleaning either, saving you time.
Inexpensive;
Laminate floors have the advantage of being made from compressed synthetic materials and composite wood. An image is then overlaid on the base of the wood species whose appearance you want to simulate. This obviously cuts the cost by half compared to actually installing real wood, which is relatively expensive and more difficult to install.
Still looks the same after a long time:
Even sunlight and UV rays do not fade the shine of the laminate floor! In addition to the antiseptics, the additional chemical application as UV protection ensures that it is less prone to fading.
Although wood floor laminate has many good qualities, it has one small disadvantage compared to modern wood floors. A laminate floor is not easy to repair. If you opt for separate planks and pieces, it might be a little easier to swap them out, but due to wear and tear there is a good chance they won’t match the overall flooring.
