Laminate flooring trends have
maintained their status as the staple go-to wood flooring
alternative for residential use.
Incredible advancements are being made in
laminate flooring technologies, thus creating the best laminate
flooring that can resemble solid hardwood more accurately than
ever before.
Laminate flooring,
also called floating wood tile in the United States, is a multi
layer synthetic flooring product fused together with a lamination process. Laminate flooring simulates wood (or sometimes stone) with a photographic
appliqu?layer under a clear protective layer. The inner core layer is usually composed of melamine resin and fiber board
materials. Laminate flooring has grown significantly in popularity, perhaps because it may be easier to install and maintain than more traditional surfaces such as hardwood
flooring. It may also have the advantages of costing less and requiring less skill to install than alternative flooring materials. It is reasonably durable, hygienic (several brands contain an antimicrobial resin), and relatively easy to maintain. |
