What is Waterproof Laminate Flooring?
Waterproof laminate flooring is 100% impervious to any form of water. No amount of spills or moisture will ever harm your floors. This quality can be found in tiles, hybrid floors and vinyl floors.
Laminate Structure
1. Wear Layer: this layer quality determines wear resistance and scratch resistance performances. Xinflooring’s wear layer is high quality, Xinflooring’s laminate flooring wear resistance is from AC3 to AC5.
2. Decorative Paper: This Layer is design/color of the laminate flooring, Xinflooring factory has thousand of design/color options to choose from including wood, tile, carpet etc.
3. HDF Core Material: HDF core quality is the key of laminate flooring’s quality. It is produced by organic core board, density is about 920kgs/M3.
4. Balancing Layer: the function of the balance paper is to control the flatness of the whole board.
Padding is optional choice:
Normally we use EVA/IXPE for laminate flooring underlayment. This has obvious effects on reducing noise, anti-moisture and improving foot feeling.
100 Waterproof Laminate Flooring Testing:
Our factory's testing between water resistant laminate flooring and waterproof laminate flooring:
1. Prepare several planks regular laminate flooring and waterproof laminate flooring, installed the planks together;
2. Prepare two glass sinks without bottom, put them on the top of installed regular laminate flooring and waterproof laminate flooring, filled the sinks with water;
3. 500 hours later, took away the glass sinks, checked the changes in surfaces / locking systems / thickness.
4. The result of the testing is there is no obvious change in surfaces/locking systems/thickness of waterproof laminate flooring, but there is very large variations in surfaces/locking systems/ thickness of regular laminate flooring.
