Each laminated board is a kind of “sandwich” glued from several layers. The laminate board can have a length of 1 to 2 meters, a thickness of up to 8 millimeters, a width of 20 centimeters.

- ease of installation of laminated panels,
- high strength, easy maintenance
- environmental Safety.

Laminate Manufacturers
The brand matters - customers trust only those brands that fail during operation:
One of the most popular manufacturers is the Belgian company Quik Step - it gives a 25 year warranty on its products.
The famous European company Tarkett, known for its know-how and excellent quality of HDF boards, guarantees 15 years of faithful service of the laminate.
Pergo - material from Sweden. Differs in water resistance and excellent Smart Lock locks.
Egger is a German brand. Laminate with improved click joint is made on the basis of HDF boards.
Balterio is a Belgian brand that produces a very beautiful and reliable laminate.
All the above-mentioned fashion brands are leaders in the ranking. They are quite expensive. However, you can buy high-quality European and domestic laminate at a lower price. You only need to carefully look at the product passport when buying and trust only reliable manufacturers (preferably members of the EPLF association).
