Laminate flooring simulates wood with a photographic applique layer under a clear protective layer. The inner core layer is usually composed of melamine resin and fiber board materials.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to keep laminate clean, as dust, dirt, and sand particles may scratch the surface over time in high-traffic areas. It is also important to keep laminate relatively dry, since sitting water\/moisture can cause the planks to swell, warp, etc., though some brands are equipped with water-resistant coatings. Water spills aren&#8217;t a problem if they&#8217;re wiped up quickly, and not allowed to sit for a prolonged period of time.<\/p>\n<p>Adhesive felt pads are often placed on the feet of furniture on laminate floors to prevent scratching.<\/p>\n<p>Inferior glueless laminate floors may gradually become separated, creating visible gaps between planks. It is important to &#8220;tap&#8221; the planks back together using the appropriate tool as gaps are noticed in order to prevent dirt filling the gaps, thus making it more difficult to put into place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laminate flooring is a multi-layer synthetic flooring product fused together with a lamination process.
