The word “laminate” is from English. Translated, it means multilayer material. The method of manufacturing the laminate came from Sweden, it was there that it began to be made and used for the first time.
The laminate has several very important qualities for the flooring: it is durable, differs in strength, the simple styling, unpretentiousness. Laminate also has qualities such as color resistance, resistance to various types of external exposure, increased wear resistance, thermal conductivity, heat resistance, noise insulation. But how the material would not be good, there is still a drawback. During the manufacture of the laminate, not environmentally friendly materials are used. However, he cannot do any harm to human health.
Consists of four main layers laminate. They are superimposed on a friend to a friend, which form a single. Each layer performs its functions and is responsible for certain qualities of the laminate.
Layers are connected by means of very high temperature and pressure. In this case, the pressure can be high or direct.
Laminate laying does not require special skills. It can be laid even on your own. It will be enough to read the styling manual and clearly follow all the points. By the way, the floor must be washed, cleaned, leveled and, most importantly, dry. There are two ways to lay laminate – adhesive and key. If the adhesive method is used, then it is necessary to wait for some time to dry for the glue. The keyboard is very beneficial – if necessary, the laminate, laid in this way can be disconnected and put in another place. The laminate method can either snap each other or drive.
There is a certain classification about which the wear resistance of the laminate is determined. But it is better to determine the quality of the laminate on the warranty period. The longer the term, the more laminate will last.
