Laminate Flooring
“Laminates” (Imitation wood look) are more popular, due their affordability, they come in various thicknesses and wear categories, the thickness is normally there to give the product more stability, the wear layers are normally very similar. Since “laminates” were introduced, most of the inferior products have been eliminated, due to the fact that initially the “Click” system was of a very poor quality, where expansion and contraction occurred the planks dislodged from each other. No less than an 8mm thickness of laminate should be purchased. Even though there are some laminates that boast being water proof, I suggest keeping them out of kitchens and bathrooms. They are quite noisy to walk on and reasonably warm.
