[ WHAT IS LAMINATE FLOORING? ]
Laminate flooring layers
Laminate flooring offers a wide selection of designs that offer the look and feel of beautiful hardwood, ceramic tile, and slate. It is actually a composite that’s designed to endure more-than-average wear and tear. A direct-pressure manufacturing process fuses four layers into one extremely hard surface.
The four layers are :
BACK LAYER
FIBERBOARD CORE
DECORATIVE LAYER
WEAR LAYER
BACK LAYER
The back is reinforced with melamine for structural stability and moisture resistance.
FIBERBOARD CORE
Ultra-dense core board provides impact resistance and stability. It also features an edge sealing treatment that provides even further structural stability.
DECORATIVE LAYER
Providing the floor’s beauty, the decorative layer is actually a highly detailed photograph that gives the laminate the appearance of wood or tile.
WEAR LAYER
The melamine wear layer is a tough, clear finish reinforced with aluminum oxide, one of the hardest mineral compounds known to man, to resist staining, fading, surface moisture, and wear. The resulting floor is a technological breakthrough. There’s no staining, no fading, and no wear through. And our glue-less installation makes installing your new floor easier than you ever thought possible.
Other noteworthy features:
- Laminate flooring is incredibly durable and stain resistant. Such problem spills as nail polish, grease, and mustard simply wipe off.
- Patented tongue-and-groove locking technology eliminates unsightly gaps at the seams.
- Ultra-durable flooring planks can be taken apart and reassembled if necessary.
- No waiting – you can walk on your floor immediately after installation is complete.
