Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring is a material that is manufactured to give the appearance of real wood or stone without the hefty price tag. It is an economical choice for homeowners on a tight budget who like the look of hardwood or stone. It features synthetic materials that are accompanied by a number of benefits. Laminate flooring is generally water resistant and consists of several layers of material to provide protection to the structure of your floor. The construction of laminate flooring is designed to withstand heavy traffic from an active family lifestyle. It requires minimal maintenance and is an excellent flooring choice for families with children and pets or people with allergies.
Laminate flooring does have several disadvantages. The worst of which include chipping and the inability to be repaired. Generally if laminate flooring becomes damaged, the entire board must be replaced. While greatly enhancing the appearance of your home, laminate flooring does not increase the value of your home as does hardwood flooring.
Laminate flooring consists of four layers. Wear layer-- the clear top layer that protects against scratches, burns, fading, and stains. Image Design layer -- the photographic image of stone or wood in geometric patterns covering the surface including a wide range of patterns, textures, and colors. Inner Core -- provides stability and structural strength while protecting against moisture and indentations. Back -- protects against moisture and helps balance the floor.
