Laminate Flooring Construction
 
 
     
 

Laminated flooring is made up of a high-density fiberboard (HDF) core, a melamine-impregnated decor layer which is a photographic reproduction of a real wood or tile floor, and on top of that, a highly resistant protective overlay to give the floor the protection and durability required. Underneath is what's called a balancing laminate which not only ensures the stability of the board during the production process but also because of its non-porosity, helps to prevent moisture from getting into the HDF core once the floor has been laid.

Under immense pressure and heat this 'sandwich' is bonded together to form a huge sheet of flooring which is then cut into smaller boards, the edges of which are profiled so that the boards can be 'clicked' together without the need for any adhesive. It is during the production process that the surface finishes such as embossing and texturing are applied.

Kronotex is a licensee of Välinge Innovation AB, the company that pioneered the concept of glue-free floorings. The Clic2Clic or Express Lock is an easy glue-free assembly system which creates a perfect finish with invisible joints between the boards. The Kronotex glueless laminate features the highest transversal traction resistance available (850kg/m) and the boards can be taken up and re-laid a number of times without any detriment to the strength and tightness of the interlocking joint.

     
  Other Terms & Description  
Core-board

The High-Density Fiberboard (HDF) core is an engineered wood product formed by breaking down low grade timber and forest thinning into wood fibers, combining them with wax and resin, and then forming panels under high temperature and pressure. The result is an incredibly strong and stable product suitable for a very wide variety of uses of which flooring is one. The density of HDF varies between 800 - 1450 kg/m³ and it is the choice of density in a floor that determines the toughness of the floor for the grade of flooring required. Basically the higher the density, the greater the impact resistance of the floor and the heavier the use the floor can cope with.

Decor Paper

The decor paper is a melamine-impregnated photographic reproduction of a wood or tile floor.

Surface

The top surface of the floor is a very strong, highly resistant, protective, transparent overlay which uses corundum (Al²O³) impregnated with melamine resins. It is non-porous so it is impossible for any form of moisture to get into the HDF core-board from the top and it is for this reason that floor polish should not used on a laminated floor as it cannot be absorbed by the floor.
