Laminate is one of the most popular flooring. Therefore, there is nothing surprising in the fact that we come back again and again. Here again came the right time to talk about some new products of the season.
Bestseller coating
Those who wish to receive detailed information about the laminated flooring (this is so correctly called this material) we recommend contacting the articles "Live on the floor!" and "laminate secrets". Let us only briefly remind the basic properties of this reliable and quite affordable coating (8 per 1m2).
The laminated coating is rectangular or (less often) square modules having a multilayer structure: lower protective layer (impregnated with resin or paraffin paper, as well as plastic); waterproof wood-fiber plate (as option- HDF); several layers of kraft paper impregnated with synthetic resins; Paper with a decorative pattern (typically by imitating wood or stone texture) and the upper protective coating of melamine or acrylic resins.
Installation is carried out on glue or a much more common impressive way. In the second case, the so-called castle compound is used when the modules are connected (as if snapped) due to special grooves and ridges (groove-cream design). Naturally, with this method of laying, the replacement of the modules does not cause any problems.
In general, the laminate refers to the discharge of unpretentious coatings resistant to mechanical loads (furniture on wheels, calays of pets etc.) and household chemicals. Proper care for it is in the most common wet cleaning. True, water streams HDF plates are still contraindicated, so until recently it was not recommended to use this type of coating in rooms with high humidity.
Laminate samples include the fact that after 5-10 years, when the coating is naturally generated, it cannot be bought as natural parquet. However, we note that cheaper materials just exist so that they can be quickly and without much shocks for the family budget to replace new, more relevant in their physicomechanical properties and (importantly!) Decor.
It is about these new items represented by some well-known manufacturers, such as Pergo (Sweden), Unilin Flooring (Quick Step Trading Stamp, Belgium), Tarkett and HDM (Germany), this year, and will be discussed further.

New season
Traditionally, the laminated coatings cannot be used in rooms with high humidity: in the bathroom, in the kitchen. It is clear that firms engaged in the production of laminate, try to overcome similar difficulties. HDM specialists this year have developed the first absolutely waterproof floor coating Aqua Floor (it corresponds to the wear resistance class 31). The andoblinting surface, and the carrier plate made by special technology, can be exposed to frequent water impacts. The decor of the collection mimics the texture of the tree (tick, pine, wenge, beech), and along the entire length of each panel there is a rounded Kant, so the coating acquires the form of traditional wooden flooring. The UniLin lock clique system allows you to install without the use of glue. The coating has antistatic properties, resistant to ultraviolet rays, suitable for floors with integrated heating. The cost is 1M2- about 30.
Another novelty from the same manufacturer - the Superglanz collection. This is a really "supercussion" laminate, the surface of which has excellent reflective properties. Unusual color solutions in combination with mirror glitter allow you to create an original decorative effect. In general, the collection simulates the most luxurious types of finishes (polished stone, grated to the mirror glitter parquet of valuable wood), so it will be quite relevant in classical or eclectic interiors. Despite the seeming vulnerability of the shiny surface, the material has a high wear resistance (warranty - 10 years), resistance to the effects of household chemicals, solid items, ultraviolet rays. Environmentalists can also be calm: Due to the patented ELESGO technology, the decorative surface is manufactured on the basis of polyacryl resin. Price 1m2- 14.5.
Hallsilv Decor ("Pine Silver") Used Pergo in the New Country Collection (Country)
Laminate in the fireplace zone is not nonsense!
For such a sparkling floor, it seems, and step must be carefully, but in fact it is not at all "capricious"
Several original collections of laminate represents Tarkett. For example, the Chic 3D series is of interest, first of all, thanks to its decorative qualities. The four-sided chamfer, according to the manufacturer's plan, gives laminate similarity with a piece parquet. In addition, the effect of "naturalness" is emphasized by mechanical stamping technology and a matte surface. The X'Traloc Castle Connection ("Extlok") allows laminate installation quickly and without problems. The cost of 1M2 coating is from 16.
The ELECIS collection personifies, according to its creators, minimalism and elegance. Special embossing mimics the fibrous structure of the tree. Price 1M2- from 15.
The Ceramica Effect collection looks exactly as ceramic facing. For the kitchen, such a coating is just perfect. In addition, large-format modules can be supplied with a sound insulation substrate. The cost is 1M2- from 18.
Pergo has been fascinated by the development of new types of decor, which, you see, no less important than the improvement of the physicomechanical properties of the coating. However, the factory did not bypass the perpetual for all manufacturers the problem of increasing wear resistance. For example, in the EXPRESSION collection (it refers to class 33, that is, it is suitable for residential and public spaces) it provides a multi-layer protective coating. Note that the upper layer with aluminum oxide particles (extremely durable material, the variety of corundum) is created by unique technology, due to which the surface remains smooth. In addition, 10 types of decor are offered, among which there are also absolute novelties of this year: Chalked Oak ("Melny Oak"), Dark Oak ("Dark Oak") and Salted Lapacho ("Collible Lapacho"). Price 1M2- $ 37.
For country style lovers, there is a Country collection of the same name. Its modules imitate "aged" oak or pine boards. Laminate has high wear resistance and is suitable not only for residential, but also for public premises. Cost 1M2- $ 25.
Several collections of the laminated coatings of the QUICK STEP brand released Unilin Flooring. Price 1M2 Laminate Quadra- 900rub., ELIGNA- 760-1050 rub. Perspextive coatings feature (875 rubles) - a small SCO along the long side of the panel. When connecting two modules, a characteristic V-shaped groove is formed, creating an interesting decorative effect.
Already on those collections that were mentioned, one can judge the extremely broad spectrum of professional interests manufacturers. The coverage of their attention is not only the original decor, but also fundamentally new technologies, which is extremely important for us, interested and demanding customers.
