Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring is made by compressing multiple layers of material together using heat and pressure. The layers typically include a high-density fiberboard at the core, a decorative layer that mimics the look of hardwood or tile, and a protective top layer that resists wear, stains, and fading.

The process starts with the fiberboard core. Then coated with a layer of melamine resin, which acts as a moisture barrier and helps to prevent warping.

Next, the decorative layer printed onto a paper or vinyl film using a high-resolution printing process. This layer then bonded to the fiberboard core using heat and pressure.

Finally, a top layer of clear melamine resin applied to the surface of the laminate flooring serves to protect it from scratches, dents, and other types of damage.

The resulting laminate flooring is durable, easy to clean, and made available in a wide variety of colours and patterns. Making it a popular choice for both residential and commercial flooring applications.

What is Laminate Flooring?

Laminate turns out to be a type of floor that turns out to be several layers of materials. The top layer usually has a printed pattern that resembles wood, stone, or tile. This layer serves as clear protective layer to prevent scratches and wear. Below the top layer is a high-density fiberboard or particle board core layer which provides structure and stability to the plank. Underneath the core is an attached underlayment, which helps cushion the floor and absorb sound. Laminate is a popular choice for homeowners due to its durability, affordability, and ease of installation.

In conclusion, the quality of laminate flooring board is determined by the AC rating. AC1 being the worst quality and AC5 being the best. We recommend that use floor with a minimum of AC3 rating. Finally, this will ensure that your flooring will look good for years to come.
