Next is the printed
layer, where images of wood, stone, and tile are taken with 3D
photography, so they're clear and vibrant with knots, swirls, raised
grains, veining variations, bright colors, and lively patterns. You
can get anything, whether you want the latest trends or classic
favorites. Micro beveling and embossing add depth, dimension, and
textured appearances such as wire-brushed, hand scraped, weathered,
and distressed.
The material is cut
into planks for added realism, but you also prefer, into groutable,
tile-sized pieces. At the top is a thick, clear melamine coating (the
wear layer) that protects the floor from scratches and scuffs. Keep
in mind that there are always two measurements, including plank/tile
and wear layer thickness.
Mainly associated with
wood looks, laminate has long been a favorite. A new version has a
unique construction that makes it spill-proof, eliminating concerns
about absorption and staining. It's now suitable for any room,
including kitchens and baths where it was once avoided because of
moisture issues.
“The
installers went above and beyond to do a great job, ripping out 40
years of subflooring, installing as requested, and even fixing a
broken appliance in the process." This was on one of our
reviews, and this is the kind of superior service that results in our
consistently receiving 5-star ratings. To
