Plank Laminate Flooring
One of the main advantages of plank laminate flooring is its durability. It is highly resistant to scratches, dents, and fading, making it a popular choice for high-traffic areas in homes. It is also relatively easy to install, as it typically comes in click-together planks that can be easily fitted without the need for glue or nails.
Plank laminate flooring is also known for its affordability compared to hardwood flooring. It offers a cost-effective alternative to achieve the look of real wood without the high price tag. Additionally, it is easy to clean and maintain, requiring simple regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional damp mopping.
Overall, plank laminate flooring is a popular choice for homeowners who want the aesthetic appeal of hardwood flooring with added durability, affordability, and easy maintenance.
Herringbone Laminate Flooring
Herringbone laminate flooring is a type of laminate flooring that is designed to replicate the classic herringbone pattern commonly found in traditional hardwood flooring. The herringbone pattern consists of rectangular planks arranged in a zigzag or V-shaped pattern.
One of the main advantages of herringbone laminate flooring is its versatility and aesthetic appeal. The herringbone pattern adds a sense of elegance and sophistication to any space. It can be used to create a focal point or to enhance the overall design of a room.
In summary, herringbone laminate flooring offers the timeless and sophisticated look of a herringbone pattern, combined with the durability, affordability, and easy maintenance of laminate flooring. It is a popular choice for homeowners who want to add a touch of elegance to their space without the cost and maintenance requirements of traditional hardwood flooring.
Laminate Flooring FAQ's below:
What is a laminate floor made of?
A laminate floor is a layered floor, with most laminate floors consisting of four different layers, as the illustration above shows:
A - The top layer makes your floor resistant to stains, wear, impact, scratches, burns and household chemicals. It consists of several melamine layers pressed onto the HDF core board in a press under high pressure and temperature. The surface layer is finished with a wood or tile texture/structure called 'registered-embossed'. This undoubtedly means that the surface structure is perfectly harmonious with the design.
B - The second layer is the design layer, which defines your floor's authentic look. The design layer is a high-resolution photo of natural wood or tiles reproduced with highly sophisticated printing techniques and finished with melamine resin. The perfect design and surface structure make the wood or tile imitation look significantly real and natural.
C - The third layer is a high-density core board consisting of refined wood fibres and high-quality melamine resin. It is a re-composed wood-fibre board which essentially uses all parts of the tree. Furthermore, the board is very homogenous in composition and has very technical characteristics. It's exceptionally durable, stable and has markedly highly moisture resistancy.
D - A moisture-resistant backing layer guarantees a perfectly flat board that will not cup or bow when properly installed and maintained.
Why Choose Laminate Flooring?
Laminate flooring can now be used in every room in the house. Even for kitchens and bathrooms, there are waterproof options with extra protection.
Laminate flooring can cope with scratches, playing children, stiletto heels, the shock of heavy, falling objects and even scorch marks. At the present time, modern laminate floors are so hardwearing that they are increasingly fitted in public places with high footfall.
Even the texture of natural timber, such as the knots, cracks and flaws, can be perfectly simulated in laminate flooring. You can choose every type of timber in nearly every possible shade and plank dimension.
Thanks to the protective top layer, laminate floors are effortless to keep clean. Dirt cannot penetrate the wood, and a regular clean with a dry or lightly dampened fibre cloth will suffice to keep your floor in perfect condition for decades.
