Wooden LaminateFlooring

Laminate floors come with cores ranging from 6mm up to 12mm. A thicker core is more stable, less vulnerable to buckling and will sound more like real hardwood when walked on. Good quality cores are treated with water repellent chemicals, and resist swelling due to excessive moisture. This is very important especially when considering placing laminate wood flooring in bathrooms and kitchen. For these applications also consider a floor that has Paraffin wax impregnated joints. The Paraffin wax acts as a water repellent and will prevent topical water spills from penetrating down to the core. Also remember to scrutinize the warranty, as certain products are not covered for use in bathrooms and kitchens.

Wooden Flooring India

The most common way to describe wooden flooring is by the species of wood used -- for example, oak flooring or maple flooring. Almost any species of wood can be used as flooring, although hard woods are the most durable. The hardness of wood is measured by the Janka Scale, which designates Brazilian ebony as the hardest of woods commonly used for flooring and pine as one of the softest. Oak, ash, and maple are popular for wooden flooring because they are both hard and readily available.
