Laminate made from a range of layers
Laminate flooring consists of several layers and components. Our laminate products are made up of a number of innovations and technical developments. In the ongoing production process, the various components such as decor paper, melamine resin overlay and HDF core board are positioned one above the other and then pressed together at high temperatures.
The surface of the laminate flooring is made durable by this procedure and can be further processed following a cooling phase in a climate-controlled storage area. Some laminate products undergo an additional production process, whereby footfall sound insulation is laminated onto the underside of the laminate panel. This diagram illustrates the composition of laminate flooring.
