Laminate flooring offers natural looks and more
Wood-look laminate flooring brings the
color and eye-catching wood grain pattern of domestic and exotic wood
to a room. Laminate tile enhances room decor by adding the look of
the finest stone flooring. Marble, slate, granite, and travertine are
popular. Ceramic look laminate is also available, and wood-look tile
provides an alternative to planks. You can find laminate flooring and
much more at Flooring Superstores Calgary. We offer a large selection of wood,
stone, and ceramic look laminate.
Resist & repel water
You have a choice between standard and
waterproof laminate brands regardless of the look you prefer. Water
needs to be cleaned up immediately if you install standard flooring.
Because of its design, water will pool on the surface rather than
soaking into the flooring. So clean-up is easy, and the planks or
tiles are not damaged. Waterproof laminate repels water for the
amount of time that is specified in the manufacturer's instructions.
Usually, water can remain on the floor for about one day before
damage may occur.
Flooring composition
Laminate planks and tiles have a
backing, core, image, and wear layer molded together during the
lamination process. The fiberboard core layer is made of wood
byproducts, and therefore, the flooring is warm underfoot even if it
is cold outside. The high-tech wood, stone, or ceramic image is
protected from staining and scratching by the transparent wear layer.
This built-in aluminum oxide coating is the hardest finish produced
for the final coating on floors. Textures, such as a hand-scraped
wood look, add authenticity.
AC Rating
When
comparing laminate planks or tiles, look for the abrasion coefficient
rating to judge the durability of each product. An independent entity
assigns the AC rating after the product undergoes many tests.
Laminate flooring is subjected to all types of daily wear and tear
typical of the average household. It's tested for its resistance to
heat, impact, moisture, moving furniture, foot traffic, and more. If
the flooring fails a test, it is not given an AC rating. AC3 is
appropriate for any residential space, while AC4 - AC6 is suitable
for commercial applications.
