Laminate Flooring

Wood Laminate

Want the look of a hardwood floor with the benefits of a man-made material?

Then you need to look at wood laminates, popular amongst designers such as La Fabbrica. Not only are laminates more hard-wearing and easier to clean, making them ideal for a minimalistic environment, they also carry a less hefty price tag and have less impact on the environment. This modern process allows you to have the look of exotic, rare woods such as acacia and tigerwood without the guilt that comes from buying a material from trees that are moving towards extinction.

Another bonus of choosing laminate flooring over hardwood is that you have more scope with regards to the layout of your flooring. You may not have considered any look other than the parallel design of floorboards. However, laminates can be created in a variety of shapes and sizes – something that isn’t easily done with hardwood – meaning that there are more options open to you. You could recreate a parquet floor, opt for a mosaic-style design or even interlace the wooden style with stone or ceramic tiles.
