Laminate flooring is created through a combination of several processes; for the most part, high pressure is used to push together various materials to create the laminate flooring that will be put in place. Once a laminate floor is fitted, it creates an impressive flooring option that is easy to maintain in terms of cleaning and returning to its original shininess. For example, 12mm laminated wood flooring offers superb protection and creates a warm room due to its thickness. One of the best suppliers of laminate flooring is www.irwintiles.ie/wooden-flooring/laminate-flooring/12mm-laminate, and a visit to their website for options is always worthwhile.
The first part of creating laminate flooring is to set a melamine resin base that protects it from any dampness rising through it. The second stage involves dense fiberboard. This fiberboard will make up the core of the laminate flooring and provide it with the strength and base needed for the other levels.
This in itself would give us a plank of pretty low aesthetic value, so a photographic image or representation of wood or stone, depending on your preference and desires, is layered on top of the fiberboard core. This then gives the impression that natural planks, or planks, have been laid but at a fraction of the cost to yourself and the environment. This design is also protected with a layer of Resin to reduce scratches and wear and tear. All levels are then pressed together to create the laminate flooring plank.
