Faus Laminate Floors

 

Laminate flooring has become very popular over the last 10 or so years. The manufacturers have greatly increased the quality of construction and ease of installation in these recent years.  A laminate floor consists of a photo of the real product (usually wood,stone or tile) layered and or sealed in a transparent plastic like membrane (usually referred to as melamine) with a core made of MDF (this consists mainly of sawdust mixed with glue and compressed together to give a very dense core.) Most laminated again have a plastic like base which helps sandwich the MDF core and add structural stability. Laminate floors may be installed in many areas that a solid or engineered floor may not. In most cases laminate flooring is suitable for on, above and below grade installations. This floor must be installed over their manufacturer’s recommended underlayment. This underlayment consists of a thin foam pad that is compressed between 2 layers of plastic. This plastic usually has a sticky or taped edge that allows for self sealing to act as a moisture barrier for your floor. Some manufacturers offer lines that include the pad attached to the back of the flooring plank.

A Laminate flooring may be installed over many sub floors thus reducing the amount of floor prep needed. As a floating floor there is more forgiveness than in a glue or nail down floor. Most laminate floors today are click installs- there is no glue needed, the planks simply click together and are self squaring.  This is a floor that most homeowners may be able to install.Before installing any of these products you may consult with one of our flooring professionals to answer questions you may have.
