Wooden beauty: laminate floors

In this twenty-first century society, one’s house has become a measure of his/her class and identity. And because of the same reason, people have become more concerned about the appearance of their houses. Flooring is indeed an impeccable factor that makes the interior view of a house. Flooring options which are dashing in appearance and easy on the pocket are not easy to find. A Laminate Floor is one such option.

Laminate flooring consists of many layers which are held together by strong chemical adhesives. It usually contains a wooden smooth layer under a protective synthetic layer. The protective layer ensures that the flooring is immune to attacks from termites and other insects.

Houses with laminate floors are on the rise because of their low cost and durability. They cost comparatively less and at the same time enrich the interior view with the elegance of a wooden floor. Since they are made of various layers of synthetic stuff, they are far more durable than ordinary hardwood floors.

They are also hygienic than the conventional wooden floors and some laminated floors come with an antibacterial/antimicrobial resin coating on them.

They are also easier to install. They come in form of tongues and grooves. The installing process involves interlocking the different planks and sometimes an adhesive is also used to hold the planks strongly in place.

Even though they can be easily maintained, particles of dust and dirt can scratch their surface over long periods of time.

Laminate floors will indeed be a wise option for a customer who wants a combination of class and elegance which fits inside his decent budget.
