Complete Guide to Laminate Flooring

Are you looking for flooring that is easy to install, maintain, looks good and also long lasting? Then don’t look beyond laminate flooring. One of the key reasons contributing to the popularity of this type of flooring is its ability to mimic other types. For example, one can print natural flooring materials such as ceramic tiles or hardwood planks with ease.

One of the key characteristic property of laminate flooring is its durability. This innate toughness comes from the makeup of the flooring material. Several layers of different materials are brought together in the case of this type of flooring. They are bound together using heat, pressure, as well as adhesion. This entire process put together is known as lamination.

You will be surprised to know that even though laminate flooring can be made to look like hardwood floor, they actually don’t contain any wood. In fact, the laminates are created using a combination of different types of resins, as well as a variety of fiberboard particles.

Types of Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring can be divided into different types based on the installation, as well as surface types. Let us take a look at them one by one.

1. Glueless – Click

   This is one of the most popular types. As the name suggests, the entire installation can be done without the help of a glue. A pre-attached underpad is what aids the easy installation

2. Glued type

   The joints are glued together in this type. The strong bond makes for a tough floor. The cost would be slightly higher than that of the glueless type.

3. Pre-glued

   The joints in this type come with a readymade applied glue. The glue is moistened and activated before installation.

4. Smooth

   This type of laminate flooring looks just like hardwood. You can also choose between the high gloss and low gloss varieties.

   This type is durable, as well as offers an antiqued look to the floor.
