How to choose laminate correctly?
Laminate remains one of the most popular floor coverings. Its range is so wide that it can be difficult for us to choose the right material without a professional, so it is important to be familiar with some details ourselves.
It is interesting to know how many and what types of laminate floors there are, and in which case which one should be used?
The main distinguishing features of laminate are class and thickness. When laying it, it is necessary to take into account the mentioned characteristics, so that the floor does not lose its shape, does not get wet, and does not have to be replaced soon, which is associated with additional costs.
At the same time, it is important to consider the quality. For detailed information about laminate and selection methods, we contacted the construction and repair materials company "Citadeli". According to their advice, one of the most durable and quality laminate manufacturing brands is KASTAMONU, which is trusted by many customers around the world.
As for the main characteristics of the laminate, according to "Citadeli", there are 6, 7, 8, 8.3, 10, 10.3 and 12 mm thick laminate floors, which we choose according to the surface: if the surface is perfectly straight and not moist, then we can use any thickness of the floor, and in the case of an uneven surface, it is recommended to use 10, 10.3 and 12 mm thick laminate. It should be taken into account that laying the laminate floor on an uneven surface leads to breakage of its fasteners.
The second characteristic is class. The more wear-resistant the surface is, the higher the class of the laminate floor is. There are 31st, 32nd, 33rd class laminate. The class is selected depending on the load on the floor. More specifically: class 31 is recommended in rooms with non-intensive load - bedroom and office; Class 32 laminate is ideal both in residential areas with intensive and non-intensive loads, as well as in medium-load commercial areas; Class 33 is recommended for residential and commercial areas under intensive load conditions.
