Types of Laminate and Parquet
Laminate and parquet come in a wide range of varieties, differing in material, thickness, locking system, wear resistance class, and design. The choice of a particular type depends on the room’s characteristics, the intensity of use, and personal preferences.
Laminate
Laminate is a multi-layer material composed of several components that mimic the appearance of wood. It is known for its high durability and resistance to mechanical damage.
Let’s look at the main types of laminate:
- Click-Lock Laminate: This is the most common type, which is easy to install without using glue. The locking system provides a secure connection of panels and allows for the quick replacement of damaged elements.
- Glue-Down Laminate: This type requires the use of special glue to connect the panels. It provides a more robust connection, making it ideal for high-traffic areas.
- Beveled Edge Laminate: Beveling is the chamfered edge of the panel, giving the flooring a more natural and aesthetic look. It helps to hide minor imperfections in the installation and creates a parquet floor effect.
- Embossed Laminate: This type of laminate has a textured surface that imitates natural wood. Embossing adds extra volume and depth to the flooring, making it more attractive.
- Photo Print Laminate: This innovative type allows for the creating of unique designs and patterns. Photo printing can imitate various textures and patterns, allowing you to choose a laminate that perfectly fits your interior.
Parquet
Parquet is a natural flooring made from wood. It is known for its high aesthetics and durability but requires more meticulous care.
Let’s examine the main types of parquet:
- Solid Wood Parquet: These are full wooden boards made from a single piece of wood. Solid wood parquet is very durable and long-lasting, but its installation requires a professional approach.
- Engineered Parquet: This type consists of several layers, with the top layer made of natural wood. Engineered parquet is more resistant to temperature and humidity changes, making it ideal for rooms with underfloor heating.
- Parquet Boards: This is a variety of engineered parquet that features a click-lock system for easy installation. Parquet boards can have various textures and finishes, allowing you to choose the perfect option for your interior.
- Herringbone Parquet: This type of installation involves laying the boards in a herringbone pattern, creating an impressive and stylish look. Herringbone parquet can be made from both solid wood and parquet boards.
- Beveled Edge Herringbone Parquet: Beveling on herringbone parquet boards adds depth and volume to the installation, as well as helps to hide minor imperfections.
