Defects are different from defects
Laminate has a multi-layer structure, so damage can be of a different nature. If they arose due to a violation of production technology by the manufacturer, then there is a risk that you will soon have similar defects in other parts of the finished coating. If the reason was your carelessness, then you have every chance to save the attractive appearance of the floor covering and not be bothered by such problems anymore.
Having noticed damage and choosing a method to repair laminate flooring when the material is chipped, first assess how serious the damage is. It is not a problem to disguise and correct slight violations of the structure of the material, but if the defect is very large and obvious, then sometimes it is advisable to think about replacing one or more dies.
Important! Since all damage, due to which you then have to repair the laminate, repair chips, cracks and restore the surface, is usually caused by improper installation, frequent use of aggressive detergents, or moving heavy objects, just try not to do all this.
Advantages of laminate floors
If you don’t have enough money for ceramic tiles, then laminated parquet is a good alternative. Basically, there are two options:
- lay linoleum with a pattern;
- lay laminated board.
Which one is preferable? Let's consider both options:
- Laminate flooring is much easier and faster to install. The slats have a convenient locking system that allows you to easily install the floors.
- Laminated parquet is much more comfortable for living than linoleum. Slippery and cold artificial material is not suitable for children's rooms. Despite its practicality, linoleum is still environmentally worse, and we still spend most of our time in the kitchen
- The advantage of laminated boards is also the easy replacement of damaged lamellas; a panel with a scratch or chip can be replaced very quickly.
Laminated parquet and sound insulation under the laminate must have a number of properties suitable for residential premises.
