Whilst laminate floors are great, it is important to be aware of potential drawbacks from lower quality ranges.
Most laminate floors are vulnerable to high moisture because the core or substrate layer is made of wood fibres that consist of pressed together recycled wood waste. Lower-quality material is more porous and water absorption can cause damage via peeling or warping.
It can look unnatural because the print layer will look fake when closely examined. It is important to choose high-quality laminate flooring to prevent an undesirable appearance.
Laminate flooring can sound hollow because of its thinner design. Also, because it ‘floats’ slightly above the subfloor, there may be some resonance in sound if poor underlayment is used.
It’s not Biodegradable. There are many synthetic contents of the floorboards that contain chemicals that pose risks when incinerated.
You can easily avoid all these problems by choosing a recognised brand with test reports. FloorVenue only suppliers certified ranges with a minimum of 20 years product warranty for your peace of mind.
