Laminaatpõrandat

Laminaatpõrandat, commonly known as laminate flooring, is a multi-layered synthetic flooring product fused together with a lamination process. The core of laminate flooring is typically a high-density fiberboard (HDF) or medium-density fiberboard (MDF) layer. Above this core lies a decorative layer, which is a high-resolution photographic image of natural materials such as wood, stone, or tile. This image is protected by a transparent, wear-resistant layer, often made of melamine-infused resin. The underside of the flooring usually has a moisture-resistant backing to prevent warping.

Laminate flooring is known for its durability, resistance to scratches, stains, and fading, making it a popular choice for homes and commercial spaces. Its installation is typically straightforward, often employing a click-lock system where planks interlock without the need for adhesive. This ease of installation contributes to its affordability. While it aims to mimic the appearance of natural materials, it is important to note that laminate flooring does not possess the same feel or acoustic properties. It is also susceptible to damage from excessive moisture, which can cause the core to swell. Maintenance usually involves regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional damp mopping.
