Floating floors have become a must in Quebec homes. There are many reasons for its popularity. Before we look at its many advantages, let's discover what it's made of.
A relatively new material, it first appeared in Europe in the late 1970s. It was first produced in Sweden by the manufacturer Perstorp, now known as Pergo, and has become a world leader in the field. Although it has several names, such as floating parquet, in Quebec, the term "floating floor" is used for this type of flooring.
The composition of the floating floor
Floating wood flooring is composed of four distinct layers:
-
The stabilizing bottom layer gives this coating its beautiful quality because of the moisture resistant resins it contains.
-
The main layer is made of compressed wood fibers and is saturated with resins, which gives it its hardness.
-
Two papers are then added: a very rigid sheet and a decorative one that reproduces hardwood, ceramic or stone, for example, which gives the floor its look and aesthetics.
-
The entire floor is covered with melamine resin, a highly wear-resistant material that gives the floating floor its durability.
