Andrew Panasiuk - master of laying parquet, laminate, will tell today that not everyone is a high-quality parquet.
Too many think this way: "Buy-ka though inexpensive, but still floorboard than laminate and will be at my house all eco-friendly. After all, parquet - natural wood! ".
With this in mind, a person goes to any construction market, buys the floorboard at the price of 1000-1200 rubles. per square, and is happy "green" purchasing.
But he has no idea that natural in this board is very little, and wear resistance srednetsenovoy laminate it clearly surpass.
Moreover - a parquet, not only is not environmentally friendly, but also punctuated with chemistry.
How so?
Now I tell.
About laminate you probably know - a good material, durable, but it has a melamine resin, paper and so on. This factor makes sniffing toward the laminate many "environmentalists."
But zaryas on the floorboard, most people forget - she, too, is not a pure log, it also has several layers of glue and varnish.
Well, then just ponder logical - whether natural tree can be difficult and the technology of its processing using multiple aids (varnish, glue, oil) be cheap?
cheap parquet production scheme is simple:
- · Unfair manufacturers for the production of breeding is often bought with the marriage.
- · The upper layer is made very thin (1-2 mm), and the total thickness may be less than 8 mm.
- · Varnish and adhesive used the cheapest, consisting of a solid chemistry.
Those who are well aware of the thickness and the top layer of the budget parquet seller can offer the board with the optimum total thickness of 12-14 mm. But here is what and how everything is glued and processed - the story is usually silent.
And that on the cheap floorboard there will be no oil coating - and can not speak.
And the problem is even not only in the fact that the lifetime of the flooring does not exceed the useful life the average of the laminate, in the absence of the desired environmental performance, which "conducted" negligent buyers.
Unfortunately, it is very appropriate saying that a miser pays twice.
Dear customers, remember - excellent, environmentally friendly flooring will not cost 1000 and even 1500 r. per square. And this is not an attempt to shake out your wallets and make advertising expensive flooring (if you noticed, no brands, we do not mention here). This is simply an appeal to common sense and the desire to save you from mistakes during repair.
If you really want an eco-friendly environment in his house - tune in advance that it will be expensive.
No funds to present "eco", do not bother and buy a good laminate. According to the term of operation of it you can last you longer than low-quality parquet. After all, we are not ruining flooring and negative thoughts about him. It is known that positive people and immune system stronger.
