Advantages of Laminate Flooring
Choosing laminate can, in most cases, be more beneficial and practical for your family than buying natural product. Here are the facts you need to know about laminate's benefits.
Static-free
Every Quick-Step® floor undergoes unique, permanent astatic treatment. Annoying discharges when touching conductive materials are a thing of the past. This makes the floors ideal for offices, stores, etc.
Allergy-friendly & Hygienic
Thanks to the closed surface structure of Quick-Step® and the closed joints between the boards, there's nowhere for dust to creep. The sealed surface also prevents bacteria accumulating on the floor. As such, Quick-Step® is the hygienic floor covering par excellence. It's ideal for toddlers. Moreover, the perfect laying and finishing of your Quick-Step® floor means it's easy to clean. Dust mite and other allergy-causing organisms cannot survive on clean laminate floor and this will help you protect your home from allergens. This is extremely important for people suffering from as asthma or dust allergies.
Wear and scratch-resistant
Quick-Step® is a laminate with an exceptionally resistant top layer. Heavy furniture, heels or office chairs on soft castors will make no permanent impression.*
Quality construction
The base layer of a Quick-Step® floor is a watertight, glued HDF board (High Density Fibre Board). This is covered with a design layer and a transparent overlay against wear and tear. Underneath, a barrier layer stops rising damp and prevents the boards from deforming.
The design layer is a photo of wood or tiles that is printed on paper. This paper is submerged in melamine resin. This is covered with a very strong and transparent protective layer. The melamine layers are pressed on the HDF board in a press, under high pressure and temperature. In addition, a wood or tile structure is also pressed into the top layer. For example, the oak designs have a wood texture that coincides exactly with the wood pattern. The highly refined printing technique means that you can hardly tell the difference between the photo and real wood. So you can have a "wooden floor" in your home without sacrificing valuable trees. In addition, you don't have to worry about the disadvantages of a wooden floor.
