Laminate Floors

Laminate is type of flooring made of a laminate material. It mimics the look of traditional woods and stones while offering easy installation and lasting durability for a much cheaper cost. It can be difficult to find differences between wooden floors and laminate flooring. What appears to be a natural wood grain pattern is really a thin layer of decor paper (a photographic image) under a tough-as-nails protective film that is glued and pressed to a high-density backing board.

Interior Solutions offers laminate flooring in an array of wood effects (the most popular option) as well as natural stone and ceramic.

Laminate floorings main advantages are that it is easy to install is very hardwearing and relatively inexpensive compared to real hardwood or natural stone flooring. It's durable (about 20 times stronger than a countertop) and is water-resistant, offering use in bathrooms, break rooms, cafeterias, receptionist areas, even in high end offices, in addition to high traffic areas. Unlike most hardwoods laminates are quite dent-resistant.

Laminate flooring is a floating floor, which means it does not fasten directly to the sub-floor, which avoids the costly need of major resurfacing of the primary floor. Instead the planks are clicked together. This enables the floor to be fitted fast and with no real mess. You can walk on your laminate floor straight away.
