This type of flooring is a very good alternative to laminated parquet or solid parquet since it perfectly imitates this type of covering while being less expensive. With laminated parquet floors, you have a solid, easy-to-maintain, and stylish floor, all for an affordable price.

Laminate flooring: what is it?

First of all, despite the name "laminate flooring", it is important not to confuse engineered parquet and laminate flooring. Engineered parquet has a layer of hardwood called facing, while laminate floors do not contain any hardwood.

Composition of laminate flooring

Laminate flooring is made up of 3 main layers:

The top layer: This is the visible part of your floor, which is composed of a layer of resin that provides strength to this type of floor. This layer will allow the coating to resist scratches and shocks and does not contain any volatile organic compounds (0% VOC). This top layer also contains a decorative layer (decorative sheet) that defines the style of your floor and will allow you to obtain the desired atmosphere within your home. Using cascada laminate can further enhance the decorative appeal of your space with its unique and stylish patterns.

The middle layer: It constitutes the heart of a laminate floor. It is an HDF (High-Density Fiberboard) panel composed of recomposed wood fibers (chipboard). These are wood particles that have been agglomerated using a binder, under pressure and high temperature. Quickstep incizo profile Knutsford can be used to complement this layer, providing additional stability and a seamless finish.

The bottom layer: This is the layer that is in contact with your old floor. This is called the counterbalancing layer and ensures maximum stability for your laminate sheets Knutsford by absorbing the natural deformations of the wood.

The advantages of laminate flooring

Laminate flooring is not a coincidence. It has many advantages that make it a top-of-the-range floor covering.

A durable coating

First of all, it is a solid coating, very resistant to scratches and impacts. In addition, thanks to its counterbalancing layer, the stability of this type of coating is durable. For an extra touch of durability, consider using Quickstep Incizo Knutsford for its exceptional durability and finish.

Easy

What could be more annoying than cleaning after a long day at work? With laminate flooring, you can save time. Indeed, it is a very easy floor covering to maintain since a sweep for dust and a damp mop to remove stains will be enough. However, you will not be advised to use any type of steam cleaning because this type of flooring does not like humidity. The cascada Knutsford collection, for instance, offers a variety of finishes that are not only easy to clean but also resistant to everyday wear and tear.

An easy-to-lay floor

You won't need to call a professional to install your laminate flooring. Thanks to the clipping system, it will be easy for you to install it yourself in one click without too much effort. In addition, this type of installation allows you to save time and money since you won't need to buy glue and let it dry after installation. But the main advantage of clip-on laminated slats and tiles is that your floor is removable. This gives you the option of taking your floor with you when you move. It is also possible to change the tiles or slats individually when one of them is damaged.

In summary, laminate flooring provides an economical combination of easy care, durability, and fashionable design. It's a great option for any interior because of its versatility and ease of installation. For a wide selection of high-quality laminate options, visit Floor Land for your next flooring project.
