Technical Recommendations for Choosing Laminate Flooring in Spain

31 Jul Technical Recommendations for Choosing Laminate Flooring in Spain

Welcome to IQ Renovations!

We have previously touched upon the topic of laminate flooring. Today, we will discuss the technical characteristics of this popular flooring material.

By considering three main characteristics, it will be easier for property owners to make their choice.

1. Laminate Connection Method There are three main methods by which laminated panels can be connected: click-lock, tap-lock, and a combination of both. If you plan to install the laminate floor without the help of a professional, the click-lock laminate will be the best choice for you. However, this option tends to be slightly more expensive.

2. With or Without Bevel? The primary function of a bevel is to give the laminated flooring the appearance of a natural solid wood board. However, a bevel also serves practical purposes. With the help of a bevel, you can visually alter the size of the room: laying the laminate lengthwise will visually lengthen your room, while laying the boards crosswise will expand the space. Laminate with a bevel is more reliable in use because it maintains its aesthetic appearance even in conditions of high humidity. All possible changes, including microcracks and swelling, remain within the bevel, so you won’t need to think about laying a new floor for a long time.

3. Choosing the Style – The Main Factor When Selecting Laminate. Laminate surfaces are installed for a long term, so you need to carefully consider the look and decorative design of your future flooring. The colour range of available laminate panels is quite wide: imitation of valuable wood species, marble, and granite, as well as the creation of matte and lacquered finishes. When following a unified style, remember that the flooring should fit into the room’s interior, harmonising in colour with the furniture, walls, and other structural elements.
