Laminate flooring is hard-wearing and a popular choice for many households, available in many styles to suit any taste you can create a warm and inviting space. We here at Easy Step Flooring are here to guide you to make the right decision.
Laminate flooring is a wood-based product made up of layers that are bonded together in the pressing process. The surface layer is often textured to replicate wood flooring.
- Top Layer – this is a transparent paper layer that gives resistance to wear and tear, exposure to sun, impact and water.
- Décor Pattern Layer – this is where the design is printed usually this is a photograph of the wood or stone the laminate is replicating.
- High Density Fibre layer – This layer adds stability and strength to help moisture from seeping through, this layer also carries the click system generally the thicker the HDF layer the stronger the click system
- Backing Layer – This backing protects the moisture from below and also acts as a balancer for the paper on the upper face to prevent warping.
Reasons for Choosing Laminate Flooring:
A laminate flooring has durability and high resistance because:
- The high-density backing board means that it is impact resistant and not deformed by the weight of the furniture.
- The surface makes it resistant to stains and will not fade from exposure to the sun.
Maintenance Free:
Laminate flooring is easy to clean and maintain:
- For everyday use, all you need to do is broom, vacuum or mop and to keep it looking perfect it requires a damp wrung out microfibre mop, no polishes or waxes of any kind are needed.
- Stains don’t normally settle on this type of flooring except the most common ones like wine, fingerprints, grease can be simply washed off with a damp cloth. Stubborn stains such as paint can be cleaned with acetone on a rag or vinegar which acts as a cleaning agent and will break down any stains.
Cost Effective:
If you love the pattern and texture of wooden flooring but don’t want to spend too much money then a laminate floor is a great alternative. Over the years the type of designs has changed we find it tricky to identify laminate flooring compared to real wood flooring.
Hygenic:
If you suffer from allergies caused by dust or asthma laminate flooring is a fantastic option the dirt and dust are simply easy to clean especially when compared to carpets where the dust can settle.
Easy to Install:
Installing laminate floors that are fitted with a click mechanism makes it really easy to install even if you aren’t a DIY expert. The laminate boards simply click together and locked in place effortlessly just like putting a jigsaw puzzle together!
