Waterproof laminate flooring: A sturdy all-rounder
 Jan 21, 2021|View:613|Share to:

Laminate flooring still faces a great deal of unfair bias. First and foremost: Laminate flooring is definitely not made of plastic, meaning that it is not ‘artificial flooring’ like vinyl. In fact, laminate flooring is made from 100% natural materials, particularly wood, (decor) paper and resin. This means that it is a natural, sustainable flooring, like parquet.

Laminate flooring is available in many different wood decors and other designs; the selection is practically endless, and waterproof laminate flooring manufacturers are always updating their product ranges to suit the latest trends. These decors are not only made in a wood look; they are also available in imitations of many other materials, such as stone or tile.

Today's high-quality laminate flooring no longer has anything in common with the laminate flooring that was on the market in the 1990s – they look nothing alike, and they do not even have the same technical properties. Like ready-made parquet flooring, laminate flooring is constructed from multiple layers. In the middle is high-density fibreboard; a stabilising backing forms the bottom layer, and the top layer is made of decor paper impregnated with melamine resin. This resin is also what makes the laminate flooring so durable and easy to maintain.


The high-quality premium variant of laminate flooring with extra scratch-resistant Diamond Pro is probably the best choice for children and pets, as it the most durable. And loud laminate flooring is also a thing of the past. The HDF middle layer makes the planks relatively heavy, so they do not vibrate easily. An integrated or separately installed sound-absorbing cushion makes laminate flooring even quieter. Incidentally, laminate flooring can also handle getting wet. Water-tight joints and a bulge-resistant middle layer ensure that mop water and spills will not cause any damage. Waterproof laminate flooring can even be installed in bathrooms!
