Laminate belongs to the youngest flooring. Almost 30 years have passed since the creation of the first samples of the laminated coating. During this time, the material managed to like it so much that 10 percent of all people who install the new floor prefer it. Moreover, many of them plans to buy a laminate in Minsk in the OTDDELOCHNYE-MATERIALALAMINATPAN online store.

The second layer performs a decorative function. It is specially impregnated and processed furniture foil or paper. In fact, this layer sets the appearance of the laminate. On paper or foil, manufacturers print any patterns and images, simulating wood, diamond, sand, white stone or the surface of other beautifully looking materials.
The third layer is made of chipboard. It has the largest thickness and is designed to give the strength and stiffness of the lamellas. Depending on the purpose of the laminate, manufacturers can use various types of chipboard. It is on this layer that the already mentioned spikes and grooves are located.
The fourth layer is designed to protect the chipboard from moisture located above it. In addition, it stabilizes the geometry of the entire laminated board. As a rule, it is made of paper, which is impregnated with resins. Also, unrefined paper can serve as a material.
Modern manufacturers produce material using the following technologies: direct pressure laminate and high pressure laminate.
The first technology allows you to produce material with a rather thin laminated layer – 0.2-0.4 mm. This layer is only a laminated film.
Thanks to the second technology, lamellas with the composite upper layer are delivered to the market. In addition to the laminated film, it includes a layer of corundum or aluminum oxide. Due to this, the thickness of the upper layer increases to 0.5-0.9 mm. And at the same time, operational properties are growing.
