To date, the market of building materials there are a myriad of products for the flooring. However, the most popular material - a laminate. Despite its obvious advantages over linoleum, for example, many are wondering: will the flooring to withstand heavy loads. To answer this question we need to consider what there is in principle a laminate. In addition, it is important to understand that it is found in one or another room, what is the degree of intensity of movement throughout the room of people.
types of laminate
The most common types of laminate are characterized by class: 31,32 and 33. Thus, the 31 class - it's a laminate, which is designed for areas with low permeability. Assume for a bedroom, where the intensity of movement is low, suitable class 31 laminate. With careful use of the coating will last as long as possible.
In the children's room, in the kitchen and in the corridor can be applied laminate 32 class. This material has high strength, is long under medium loads. But for living rooms, corridors or for office space it is strongly recommended to laminate class 33. He - the most rugged, durable, high-quality.
Nevertheless, even in the bedroom, you can put 32 or 33 class laminate. The most important thing - it is a budget host, because the higher the class, the higher the price.
An important parameter of the laminate - thickness. Cheap versions panels have a thickness of 6 mm and larger, and the most expensive types of laminate - 12 mm. Of course, the thicker the better.
The load on the surface
When the laminate is selected for a particular room in the apartment house, it is important to provide in advance which items will be installed. Suppose, if the bedroom there is a heavy, metal bed, massive wardrobe, it is best to choose a laminate 32 or 33 classes. Typically, a small bedroom, but because the purchase costs of the laminate is not particularly impact on the family budget. But after moving furniture (e.g., permutation) on the cover will not remain dents, scratches or chipped even (if the laminate - inexpensive).
Thus, laminate - it is a modern flooring that can withstand heavy loads. However, it is best to provide the items, quantity and weight, which will be installed in the room. On this depends the durability of the coating, aesthetic appearance.
