The word “laminate” is translated from English as “multi -layer”. Laminate is mainly made of fiberboard (wood-fiber plate) of bars, the length of which ranges between 1.3-1.6 meters, and the width, as a rule, is 20 cm. The thickness of the laminate can be from 6 to 14 millits. There are also laminate coatings of a square shape.
The upper layer of laminate (Overlay) is a coating made of melamine or acrylate resin. It is designed to protect against spots, scratches and similar mechanical damage, as well as from direct hits of sunlight. The upper layer of the laminate can be either single -layer or multi -layer. You must understand that the number of layers depends on how strong the coating will be. It is for this reason that you should take into account the conditions in which the flooring will be used, what is the cross -country ability and much more. Only in this case can you get a really high -quality result. Laminate laying should be done by professionals.

The next layer is decorative. It serves as a decoration and is made from natural materials that are resistant to ultraviolet radiation (stone, wood). In the event that there is a redevelopment of the premises, then you should take into account this fact. After all, you must understand that only the correct combination of various materials, as well as their harmony will allow you to get a really high -quality result.
The main layer, as a rule, is made from the fiberboard high (6-8 mm to thickness) density. In addition, laminate fiberboard differs from the usual high degree of water resistance and strength.
The lower layer of the laminate protects the entire structure from temperature and humidity drops.
In addition to the main layers, the coating may include additional, the purpose of which is to improve the properties of the laminate. For example, an additional layer can be laid between decorative and basic as additional protection against damage.
The main properties of the laminate:
• abrasive strength;
• resistance to long -term pressure;
• immunity to the influence of household chemicals;
• resistance to fading and the effect of ultraviolet radiation;
• immunity to active heating (from heating devices, smoldering cigarettes and so on), inexhaustibility and the ability to lay on heated floors;
• simplicity of assembly (styling) and further care (cleaning).
