Balterio Pure Stone Laminate Flooring is Part of a Large Range

Balterio is a name to be reckoned with in the flooring industry and you will find that the Balterio Pure Stone Laminate flooring is just one of a large range of options available at a very reasonable price. The Balterio Axion Laminate flooring is a popular choice and is widely available. 

The revolutionary system of wood laminate flooring ensures an attractive and fast installation and this rotation system makes it easy to click the panels together with a sturdy, seamless floor as a result. Moving the wood laminate is also possible as when moving house or renovating, you take the laminate out and click them back together easily. 

Maintaining wooden laminate flooring is also easy and cheap. For everyday maintenance purposes, you should use a dry microfibre cloth. The magnetic properties of a dry microfibre cloth make sure that even small dust particles are removed from the grooves. You can also use a vacuum cleaner on the wood laminate floor, provided you have a parquet brush for your appliance. Other stains and dirt can be easily removed without leaving any trace.

As with almost everything you will find that even laminate flooring has disadvantages. For instance, wood laminate flooring can be easily ruined by water damage from a high-volume leak. Scratches also damage the surface of the printed coating, which is virtually irreparable. Another criticism of wooden laminate flooring is that the nature of the printed covering makes for a repeated pattern that has an artificial look. The laminate flooring industry has addressed many of laminate flooring’s drawbacks in the last few years.

Multi-layer wood

Multi-layer or 'engineered' wood floors comprise either two or three layers of wood, which are laid at right angles. For those who do not wish to buy wood laminate this is another flooring option. The top layer is hardwood and the layers below are also wood-based products, for example, high-density fibreboard and pine. These floors are available in a wide range of formats and thicknesses, including 20mm self-supporting floors, 13 or 15mm standard floors and 7mm 'veneered' floors, which offer a low-cost real wood alternative to laminate.

Hardwood floors can be an expensive choice for bathroom floors. Laminate materials that mimic the look of wood are a less costly option for those on a budget. Consider your budget when making the decision to use wood for your bathroom floors, and you may decide that wooden laminate flooring may be the better option, especially in a bathroom. 

There are two main types of real wood flooring: multilayer and solid wood floorings. These differ from each other through their construction. If you are determined to have the real thing then you will need to make a decision as to which type you want to go for. However, you will find that more and more people are now choosing to opt for a wood laminate flooring as opposed to a solid wood floor. This could be due to many reasons such as the cost, the variety, and the appearance.
