what is laminate flooring?

Laminate flooring is a high quality photographic image of wood. This is placed onto a HDF core board and is coated with a tough melamine wear layer. It is this wear layer which makes laminate flooring extremely hardwearing and much less liable to scratch than a real wood finish and makes laminate ideal for those with a busy homes and lifestyles.

Installation is also easy thanks to the click systems available, the planks just click together with no need for glue, nails etc. Laminate flooring is ideal for use in all rooms of the home or office.

When you choose a laminate floor you need to be aware of the different grades and construction methods available. Laminate is graded from AC1 - AC6 with the latter being ideal for use in very heavy commercial installations.
