Advantages of Laminate Flooring
Many people dont understand what laminate flooring truly is, however they do know about Pergo flooring. Pergo was the first company to produce and sell this type of flooring in the United States. Now there is more than 30 other brands of laminate flooring. Laminate flooring is comprised of three separate layers. The top layer is a tough aluminum oxide photograph of wood, stone, or brick. This layer is adhered to the core, which is usually MDF (medium density fiberboard). This core layer is adhered to a layer of plastic laminate backing, which protects the entire plank against moisture, making it possible to install laminate flooring over concrete and below grade floors. Possibly the larges benefits of laminate flooring is its cost-effectiveness as well as its easy to care for surface. Because laminate flooring is tongue and grooved, it can be installed in nearly any room that has a firm floor surface. Other benefits include that it is more moisture tolerant than cork or other flooring materials. However, not all laminates are moisture tolerant therefore, make sure that the manufacturers warranty does cover moisture. In addition, laminate floors usually include lifetime warranties against most problems and defects, which makes it perfect for homes that have a lot of traffic. If you want the look of hardwood but have a sub-floor, which is not compatible for real hardwood floors, then consider installing laminate flooring.
