Laminate flooring

Pergo flooring project

Laminate flooring is type of flooring made of a laminate material. Laminate flooring is made to look like natural products such as wood flooring or natural stone, yet is made up of either synthetic materials (usually melamine resin) or of synthetic materials combined with natural and recycled ingredients and covered with an attached decorative applique including an aluminum oxide finish.

Laminate flooring has a dense inner core and a glued-on layer or fused layers of outer material. Many types of laminate flooring simulate wood, but some look like marble or granite. A popular alternative to other hard surface products, high-quality laminate flooring resists staining, wear, and fading much better than wood and natural stone while providing unique looks and appeal. It is durable (about 20 times stronger than a kitchen countertop[1]) and is water-resistant, offering use in bathrooms and kitchens in addition to high traffic areas. Unlike most hardwoods, laminates are quite dent-resistant.

How to Choose a Pattern of Laminate Flooring


Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Laminate Floorings
Step1
Have an overall look in mind - light, dark, medium, oak, pine, solid red, stone, etc. - before you shop. Make this choice based on the decorating mood you want to set: light and airy, warm and cozy, energetic and playful, formal and elegant, rustic and casual, whatever.
Step2
Consider that wood and stone laminates, though closely resembling the real thing, are man-made and usually should not butt up against the genuine article, because the artificial material will look less desirable. For example, don't install a faux-marble (or oak-look) laminate floor in the family room that meets up with a genuine marble (or oak floor) in the entryway.
Step3
Remember that patterns with graining or other types of shading will not show soil as quickly as solids. Very dark patterns (which also will darken the room) and very light ones also will cry out for cleaning more quickly.
Step4
Note that a laminate floor with a light texture - mimicking stone or wood, for instance - will look more like the real material and be less slippery when damp.
Step5
Be attuned to optical illusions and choose accordingly. A long strip pattern in flooring, when run with the length of a long, narrow room, will exaggerate the bowling-alley effect; in a square room, the long strips will give the room a rectangular feel.
Step6
Bear in mind that laminate flooring will last for many years, so you probably should avoid anything trendy or with such a strong pattern that it will be difficult to, say, replace the wallpaper, draperies or other furnishings. Charcoal-gray wood grains, florals and bleached parquet, for example, may not offer the long-term versatility of more classic patterns, such as natural oak or maple, taupe faux ceramic-tile and tan stone.
