Discover the benefits of Laminated Floors
Many people will be of the opinion that the appearance of the laminated floor
resembles hardwood flooring. In reality it is not so. But there is a
strong reason for the people to think like that. Many advertisements that
showcases the laminated flooring is having wood grain pattern. This makes the
people to think that laminated floors are nothing but fiberboard core laminated
by hardwood veneer.
But in fact the laminated flooring is actually a paper printed with
exceptional high quality photo image. The image can be anything such as wood,
marble, terrazzo, terra cotta, ceramic etc. Then this printed-paper is laminated
to high-density fiberboard. Then protective coating seals the surface.
In most cases aluminum oxide is used for protective coating. This way an
inexpensive attractive looking flooring material is prepared. The best laminated
floors should be at least 12 millimeter in thickness. The person who walks on
these laminated floors will have a feeling that he is walking on the hardwood
floor. These laminated floors can even mimic the sound of the hardwood floors.
These laminate floors are resistant to scratch stain and water. These floors
will not fade or dent that easily when compared with hardwood floors. These
laminated floors are more durable than the hardwood floors and the maintenance
is easy and trouble free. Since these laminated floors are water resistant, they
can be used in bathroom, kitchen and other places where occasional water
spilling is expected. High-end laminated floors are very effective in handling
heavy traffic and come with life time warranty.
There are some cheaper laminated floors are available in the market which can’t
be used in places like bathroom, kitchen etc. the seal on the top of the
laminated floors go off soon in some cases. Once that happens, the only option
left is replacement of that portion with new one as damaged floor will not serve
its purpose. One thing is very sure whatever may be thing said about laminated
floors , the look, elegance and the warmth of the hardwood floors will be
certainly missing in laminated floors. |
