Production technology
And what is a Haro laminate? This is a special panel for the manufacture of which a fiberboard or chipboard is used, supplemented by several layers of paper. It is impregnated with special melamine resin, and all layers are then pressed together under the influence of elevated temperature and significant pressure.
We can say that the laminate is pressed paper, covered on top with another layer with a pattern or some kind of ornament. The surface of the material provides reliable protection by applying a special film.
There is also a so-called cork laminate, the structure of which consists of special ceramic elements, and the front side of the floor covering is varnished.
Features of German Laminate
Laminate Haro (customer reviews confirm its high level of quality) regularly undergoes laboratory tests and various tests. For example, the material is checked for impact resistance, resistance to minor mechanical influences (scratches), wear resistance, the degree of sound insulation and moisture resistance, sensitivity to light and many other parameters. All studies are carried out in strict accordance with the current European standard EN13329.
In addition, a special taber test is carried out, during which the face coating of the laminate is pressed with a special abrasive tool equipped with a grinding wheel with certain operating parameters. In the process, the number of revolutions of the circle is calculated until the surface protective layer of the material is completely erased. The norm is the number of revolutions in the range of 6-20 thousand. This indicator acts as the main characteristic of the laminate.
It is also worth noting that the company offers more than 40 shades of this coating. Thanks to such a huge assortment, everyone will be able to choose the most suitable option for their interior. It will be useful to know that Haro products comply with all European standards and are carefully monitored at all stages of production.

Laminate disadvantages
Just note that they are few. The main thing is a low degree of moisture resistance. Do not confuse this parameter with moisture resistance, since they have significant differences between themselves.

The coating itself is allowed to be washed, but only very carefully and with the use of appropriate detergents.
