LAMINATE FLOORING

LAMINATE WOOD FLOORING –
Laminate flooring consists of a top layer of decorative printed film which is fused to a protective abrasion resistant film on the top. This is then fixed over a base of high density fibreboard. Various designs can be printed on the top layer due to which there is almost an unlimited variety of designs available, including all exotic varieties. The planks are available in various sizes from 150-200mm width and around 2m in length. Today, even extra long planks of upto 3m length are also available. The thickness of the planks are around 8-10mm. The thing to be kept in mind is that laminate floors are artificial products and are not natural wood.

INSTALLATION
The planks are fixed using an interlocking system of tongue and grooves and are laid over an underlay of 0.2mm thick alkali resistant poly-ethylene sheet i.e, a floating floor, to provide for the expansion and contraction due to temperature variations. There are special skirting pieces and also special trims to provide at the end of the flooring.
In case the area is larger than 12m along the length of the plank or more than 8m along the width of the plank, an expansion provision has to be provided in between the floor to be secured with that of a dilation profile – as per Pergo
AREAS OF APPLICATION –
Common areas of residences, High resistant laminates may be used for high wear commercial areas although their durability cannot be ensured.

  2. Moderate to strong winds blowing from the southwest to south will prevail over northern and Central Luzon and coastal waters along these
    areas will be moderate to rough. The effects of what
    they see, read and hear are having a devastating affect
    on our society today. It's more than just doing the right things or being involved in a good opportunity.

  5. Information that informs the public and makes them good citizens is the kind of
    quality information that one can be proud to call news, and if it
    ever goes completely out of style, may the Lord help us,
    for it will be the end of civilization as we know it.

  6. If a wide search is made on the internet, services can be utilized easily that are provided by
    them. But unlike their blank counterparts, custom lanyards also can proclaim a marketing or motivational message to customers and
    employees. Every now and then, new stars emerge and disappear in the blink of
    an eye and every smallest detail about the same becomes
    important celebrity news.
