Quality Laminate Flooring Services

Laminate floors typically constructed of 4 layers: backing, core board, decorative and wear layers that are laminated together in a high-pressure process to create beautiful, durable, water-resistant and even waterproof floors. The bottom layer, backing layer, is a melamine plastic layer that lends dimensional stability to the plank and help guard against moisture from the sub-floor. The next layer is the core board, which is made from high-density fiberboard or particle board that may contain plastic resins to support and enhance moisture resistance functionality. These layers are toped with the very important decorative layer, print film layer, that gives the laminate plank its unique look, and finally, the wear layer that provides protection, scratch and stain resistance.

These days most wear layers have aluminum oxide as well as melamine resin to create exceptional durability for your laminate floors. Most laminate floors require a plastic underlayment to help the floor to float freely over the subfloor.

No mess, quick and easy to install laminate flooring option that requires a plastic underlayment to seal out the moisture and help the floor to float freely over the subfloor like most laminate floor types. Also, you might need to add a noise reduction underlayment or vapor barrier before installing the new laminate floors. This type comes in a variety of styles, shapes and textures that simulate and mimic tile, natural stones and hardwood floors; moreover, some models provide a real hardwood veneer instead of printed layer giving it a hardwood-like look and feeling.
