In 2020 the Association of European Producers of Laminate Flooring has celebrated its quarter-of-a-century A laminate flooring installation is among the most popular type of floor install. The first product launched on the market, based on direct-pressing technology, was laminate flooring and it appeared in 1989. In only 10 years, this product has become a pioneer in floor coverings. Laminate flooring is an increasingly popular and affordable option for people who want to add beauty, style, as well as durability of hardwood into their home while on a budget.In Europe laminate flooring is called by the European Producers of Laminate Flooring; It includes 18 laminate flooring manufacturers, 20 suppliers and ten supporting members. It is the biggest laminate flooring industry association in the world! The global laminate flooring sales have exceeded 1 billion m2, and the sales of EPLF members constitute about half. Laminate flooring,the global to further accelerate, but in japan only donate sharp especially in western Europe laminate sales is dwindle vary by country and germans low tide. This phenomenon, known as substitution-in high-purchasing-power regions in particular-is a more pronounced tendency. Meanwhile, EPLF producers are continuing to enjoy a strong second-hand position in the international sales league and because of ever increasing European laminate flooring exports into Eastern Europe as well as Asia and America. EPLF, meanwhile, is working internally to unleash the capabilities of its laminate slab primarily for different markets within Europe. The market for flooring is evolving, with new requirements and perspectives of the very different expectations customers display today. A modern floor covering that fulfills all their requirements for use The production of European full-cycle laminate panels meets the criteria that confirm its sustainability - resource efficiency: due to the renewable resources, environmentally friendly from an energy standpoint (both in extraction and processing), economically effective as a result of mass industrial production with advanced technology using wood treatment wastes; socially responsible because it corresponds to reasonable terms and conditions for labour relations.Of course, the benefits of high-quality Euro laminate panels are not only in their ideal appearance with an amazing texture, but also (and perhaps most importantly) in technical explanations: summing up it with high reliability rates incredibly strong and durable. Additional long or wide wooden boards can be laid by intelligent systems without problems. It is easy to take care of laminate panels and can be fixed wherever you live or work. Due to the special structure of these high-quality floors, in addition to residential apartments and offices suitable for its installation even medical facility (including operating rooms). Manufacturers can also add other appropriate properties to the substrate according to requirements such as general sound insulation for reducing sidewalk noise, anti-static surfaces and edge protection with a special moisture proof protection in bathrooms or kitchens. Sometimes also skirting boards and trims are included in the range to match your panel decoration. There is no other type of flooring that boasts as many different surface patterns and textures. These cool wood finishes can go from rustic to classy, stone and metal as well as graphic patterns. Therefore, selecting the correct laminate flooring to suit diverse demands is a way through which they can match the preference as well. Classic laminate flooring is three-layer: decorative layer of melamine resin, core material and backing. It also has a one of positive appearance on the floor because oft he decorative paper. Numerous wood replicas look very realistic and foot-tile designs are abundant as well,c reative signage etc.The wear-resistant layer is melamine resin, a material with high abrasion resistance that makes the floor incredibly durable. A core layer supports the middle of this laminate flooring. The floor finishes are easily removed whereas the overflashing and decorative paper must be preserved, in addition to people on top of it. The center layer is a wooden fiber which possibly will be basically dense as HDF or else MDF. Furthermore, other additional papers can be inserted between the core layer and the decorative paper: e.g. a footstep soundproofing layer... The stabilizing layer, a thick elastic paper and that is the bottommost of the laminate flooring is what brings stability to it. Panels Shape of Laminate flooring The manufacturing process is by pressing each laminate layers together under high pressure and temperature. In addition to the traditional laminate flooring, it can also be hot-pressed by means of laminating plates with a high temperature and pressure on the composite floor. In 2018, EPLF embarked on further research projects: new and qualitative standards such as moisture resistance or micro-scratch / polishing effect. These are also two subjects aligned with the current state of product development. Even on the first point, kitchen, bathroom and utility room appropriate moisture-resistant laminate materials are flooding into its flooring panel ranges. EPLF is researching an appropriate moisture resistance classification system to allow the quality of these products to be compared and evaluated. The other question comes from the shininess of laminate flooring which is a lot easier to be kept clean. To explain micro-scratches on glossy or high-gloss surfaces as well as how polishing effects show up at matte surfaces, a bit more technical understanding is required. The Association desires to develop well-defined terms for these studies, and publish practice-focused specifications that can be used as the basis of meaningful and reproducible methods.
