Laminatbeläge

Laminatbeläge, often referred to as laminate flooring, are a popular flooring option known for their durability and affordability. They are constructed from multiple layers fused together through a lamination process. The core layer typically consists of high-density fiberboard (HDF), providing structural integrity and resistance to impact. Above this is a decorative layer, usually a high-resolution image of wood, stone, or tile, which gives laminate its aesthetic appeal. This decorative layer is protected by a transparent, wear-resistant overlay, often made of melamine resin, which shields against scratches, stains, and fading. The bottom layer is usually a balancing or moisture-resistant backing.

The installation of laminate flooring is often straightforward, with many systems utilizing a click-lock mechanism that allows planks to be easily joined together without the need for glue or nails. This makes it a suitable choice for DIY projects. Laminate is versatile and can be installed in most rooms of a house, including living areas, bedrooms, and even kitchens and bathrooms, although specific water-resistant variants are recommended for high-moisture environments. Its ease of maintenance is another key advantage; regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional damp mopping are usually sufficient to keep it clean. While resistant to many forms of wear, deep scratches or significant water damage can be difficult to repair on individual planks.
