Laminate Flooring
· Faux: Impregnated, printed decorative paper, depicting wood, stone or ceramic.
· Laminate flooring has a hard multilayer coating of decorative material and wood materials such as high density fiberboard (HDF).
· Laminate surface is durable and easy to clean. It is recommended for hall, entrance area and home with children, but not for bathrooms and wet rooms loaded.
· It is cold to the feet. Its resin layer conducts body heat faster (lower thermal insulation).
· Its surface is cannot be sanded, but the minor damage can be repaired.
· This flooring is susceptible to electrostatic charging.
· It is recommended to use underfloor heating floating installation.
· Its height of the soil in the test is about 7/25 to 2/5 inch.
· The prices of laminate per square meter in the test are around 13 to 36 dollars.
· Its warranty for private use in the test is between 5 and 15 years.
Engineered Wood Flooring · Engineered flooring is a natural wood with a wear thickness of about 1/8 to 4/25 inch and is made of real wood such as beech, maple, oak, cherry.
· It has multi-layered structure of different types of wood and wood-based materials such as high density fiberboard (HDF).
· Engineered wood flooring has a natural, sensitive surface. It is recommended for living and sleeping area, but not for wet contaminated areas.
· It is warm underfoot. Its timber manages the body heat worse (better insulation).
· Engineered wood surface can be sanded about three times depending on its wear layer and damage.
· This flooring has significantly lower electrostatic charging.
· It is recommended in underfloor heating large area bonding.
· The height of the soil in the test of engineered wood is about 1/2 to 3/5 inch.
· Its prices per square meter in the test are between 40 and 67 dollars.
· It has a warranty for private use in the test of about 15 to 30 years.
Tips: Pros and Cons of Laminate Laminate flooring is made up of impregnated decorative paper, wood, stone or ceramic maps. Its surface is made of resin. It can use underground in several layers of wood materials such as high-density fiberboard (HDF). And Laminate is often used with an integrated, bottom glued-impact sound insulation.
Pros of Laminate Flooring
· Robust and easy to maintain
· Good for floor heating
· Available in many designs
· Cheap: 13 to 36 dollars per square meter
Cons of Laminate
· With poor thermal insulation
· Cold to the feet
· Loads of static electricity
· Cannot be renewed
Pros and Cons of Engineered Hardwood Engineered flooring has a wear layer of natural wood like beech, maple, oak or cherry. Its layer is usually sealed with paint with a thickness of about 1/8 to 4/25 inch. This can use underground in several layers of solid wood or wood materials such as high-density fiberboard (HDF).
Pros of Engineered wood flooring
· It has well integrated sound insulation.
· A natural surface
· Good insulation: warm underfoot
· Invites hardly electrostatically
· Can be sanded and renewed
Cons of Engineered wood flooring
· Expensive: 30 to 50 euros per square meter
· With a sensitive wood surface
