Laminate flooring

Repair done 13 years ago !!! The floor was everywhere laid with a laminate, except for the bathroom. I don’t remember the company, but the quality was not the worst and the price was not the lowest. Now after so many years I want to say that there are pluses, but there are minuses too! And I don’t want such a flooring !!!!

Looks like a tree

It gradually swells if periodically water falls on the same place.
The paint is gradually washed off.
In winter, the apartment was 25-30 degrees, he began to dry up, gaps appeared.
Where there are gaps, gradually shy.

My friends laid the Russian laminate Kronoshpan. Bought at a low price. And regretted. Not only does he chip, the joints do not match. So it also smells. We also have a laminate in the apartment. At first there was a sharp smell of sawdust with the addition of some kind of chemistry. Now, after six years, there is still a smell, but less. I was interested in its composition. Why does it smell like that? It turns out the top layer of the laminate — melamine resins contain formaldehyde. This is poison. It is toxic, causes cancer, asthma, allergies, diseases of the ENT organs, disorders of the nervous system. If possible, lay a natural wooden floor or parquet

nice

harmful, low-quality

We saw friends laminate under the tiles in the kitchen, really liked it both externally and to the touch. But they did not even remember the company, so they went to choose a laminate for the tile, one can say blindly.We bought floorwood and are very satisfied, it has been lying for almost a year, I like it very much, it’s beautiful, it’s not cold to walk barefoot and there is no damage. I advise everyone!

beautiful, decent price, cool quality

not

It seems to me that laminate flooring is chosen only from cheapness. But, precisely because of the low price, you should not expect super strength from it. Also, it has much lower performance than other wooden coatings. The material is not waterproof, which virtually eliminates its use in the kitchen. Not having much money, but it was urgent to change the floor in the bedroom, my wife and I settled on the laminate. We chose a laminate of 31 classes. We decided that if you still save on the laminate, then you can leave everything as if. Buying a laminate, laying cost about $ 230. Room 18 meters. Did two years ago. We think that he will serve us for ten years.

not too durable, short life

Using laminate flooring

I want to say a good word about laminate flooring. We put it in two rooms a year ago.

The class was chosen by 33 - they read that it is the most durable for apartment conditions. For the price we arranged - at 730 rubles. per sq. meter.

They took a dark color (I don’t remember the shade anymore). They put it on a cork substrate (2 mm thick). True, not themselves - called the master. We were afraid to put it wrong. We read that with unprofessional styling problems can begin (expansion, creases, and so on). It’s better to pay a professional than redo everything later.

They took an imitation of a wooden board. So the guests do not immediately understand that the floor is not wooden! There are no creases or scratches. True, we do not move furniture in batches, everything is in place. It looks like a brand new floor!

Yes, I also forgot to say that it does not fade at all. Although the rooms are sunny.

I wash it regularly with a microfiber cloth and water. Press a little - and go. Granddaughters come, sometimes they pour water all over the floor. It's okay for now. I think this is because the seams are well sealed.

The seams master insulated sealant, sorry, did not record how. Somehow I didn’t think. And now in the kitchen we want to lay a laminate. The husband thinks to try it himself. We'll have to find information about sealants on the Internet.

About the dust. Many complain that dust is very visible on a dark laminate. It's all about static electricity. I bought an antistatic agent for the laminate, add it to the water to clean the floor. The problem is resolved. And instead of a broom I use a vacuum cleaner.

I myself did not use the laminate as a floor covering, and six months ago my friend decided to make repairs in the apartment: I decided to lay the laminate on the floor. I bought Chinese, some unknown company name. Told her not to take cheap - did not listen. He says that 400 rubles per square meter. not cheap for her! She invited a specialist, he began to lay this laminate, and there not all the plates fit well together. Well, somehow laid. And the mood is not so rosy from the repair. In the apartment, a smell appeared, specific, as if it smells of medicine. I'm worried: suddenly her allergy will begin.

Then another disorder: a kitten from a window sill dropped a flower pot and spilled water. The hostess did not immediately come and cleaned everything. On the laminate floors appeared a slightly noticeable dent from the blow and stains. It’s good that the cover didn’t warp! Here you have the quality of the goods!

I don’t know how long she will have this laminate. But I don’t want to buy Chinese laminate, I’ll better save more money and take high-quality goods.

Low price

Low quality, joints - not all locks match, specific smell, low impact resistance and moisture resistance.

We put the finishing point in the repair 2 weeks ago. Initially, the problem was to choose a suitable flooring for the hall, as well as the bedroom. The builders suggested using parquet, but after consulting with my friends and visiting several outlets, I decided that the laminate would be the best option.

Laminate cannot be called expensive flooring, and it is captivating. It is impossible not to mention the affordable price and excellent quality indicators of the laminate. The finished board consists of 4 layers, and the top is made of acrylic resin, which increases the wear resistance of the floor. Please note that if your home has a working chair on wheels or a guest table, which is constantly displayed, the laminate will not always cope with these “loads”. By the way, such a coating is quite simple and convenient to care for.

When deciding on the choice of flooring on the Internet, I came across an interesting video in which recommendations on choosing a laminate are clearly given.

The main thing is that I can afford such a floor. High quality and reliable. This flooring is relatively durable. Care for such a floor and do not have to.

I could not note any bright minuses. Here, rather, it all depends on personal preferences.
