USC Laminate Flooring
LAMINATE FLOORING
For the last decade or so, laminate flooring has become the flooring of choice for many American homeowners. It's become especially easy to install, easy to maintain, and relatively cost effective. Scandinavians, however, have been using laminate floor coverings for several decades and Sweden's Pergo brand has become the common name used for describing laminate floors in general.
Using the same techniques as for laminated countertops, flooring comprises layers of different materials that are bonded together using heat and pressure. From the bottom up, laminates have what is called a balancing backing bonded to a core layer—often medium density fiberboard (MDF) and occasionally high-density fiberboard (HDF). The pattern is a printed photograph of the material it simulates within a resin or plastic layer; the potential is limitless, but usually looks like various woods, stone, or tile. Finally, the top is wear layer of durable aluminum oxide which is impact, stain, heat, and fade resistant.
