Laminate Wood Flooring Advantages and Tips
Laminate wood flooring is a multilayer composite flooring material fused together with a hard lamination process also called laminating. Laminate wood flooring mimics real wood with a fine photographic realistic layer beneath a clear protective coating. The core layer most often consists of melamine resins and polyurethane foam layers. In most cases, this layer can be tinted to create different color shades depending on the application.
Laminate wood flooring such as that from Irwin Tiles has a high-density core board bonded to a melamine backing which creates a durable, scratch and stain-resistant surface. The boards are UV protected so that they can withstand high intensity sunlight even when the room is well lit. They are available in a variety of colors, finishes and sizes. In addition to being easy to install, laminate wood flooring resists scratching, fading and warping because of its durable top layer.
Some laminate floors are pre-finished to provide a solid, clean surface ready for installation. In addition to its durability and cleanliness, many homeowners choose laminate wood flooring because it is easier to clean than tile, carpet or wood flooring, and it is more affordable. Laminate floors are available in all the styles and colors that homeowners want. There is also a wide range of prices, so it is easy to find a laminate floor that is affordable and appropriate for the room.
