Laminate flooring is modern flooring. It is widely believed that this artificial substitute for natural parquet is very expensive and unreliable. In addition, many believe that it is afraid of moisture, and six years after installation will require replacement. Until recently, everything was just that. However, today the leading manufacturers of building materials offer their customers high quality laminate. Its service life is within twenty or more years. How can the buyer determine the highest quality laminate? To do this, you need to clarify its wear resistance class. This parameter of the flooring is affixed only after the so-called taber test. Belonging to one or another class will indicate the quality of the coating.

The next, fourth layer, the thickest. This is a stabilizing plate made of fiberboard of increased strength. This layer determines the dimensions of the laminate itself, which is 6, 8, 10 and 12 millimeters thick. The larger the data dimensions are, the better the quality of the lock, cut along the perimeter.And the last, the bottommost layer is kraft paper. This is the protection of the stabilizing plate from moisture. In some grades of laminate, a substrate is still glued to the lower layer. This increases the price of artificial parquet.
Classification
Laminate, like all types of building materials, is divided into certain types. According to this classification, artificial parquet happens:
- moisture resistant (for rooms with high humidity);
- ordinary.

Also, in order to determine which laminate is the highest quality, it is necessary to consider it from the side of the long end. The product should be perfectly straight. The presence of any bends on it is evidence of improper or very long storage. It is especially harmful to overexert ordinary panels in a warehouse. But for a moisture-resistant laminate, a long shelf life is not a cause of deterioration.
If, as a result of a long stay in a warehouse, an ordinary laminate absorbs moisture, then after laying such boards dry out. Their surface swells and becomes covered with ugly spots, and cracks appear at the joints.The choice of the country of origin
