Approximately from the XVI century in Europe among the nobility it became fashionable to decorate their palaces with a beautiful art parquet - it raised the prestige of the owner, spoke of his aristocracy. Made by leading masters, he excellently emphasized the individuality of the interior, looked like a real work of art. Until now, such floors adorn the dwellings of aristocrats, amaze people with their intricate patterns and splendor. But handwork and solid wood now have a high cost, such costs can not pay for ordinary consumers. But the output was soon found. About thirty years ago, manufacturers of building materials invented a cheaper laminate for art parquet, which will soon allow a magnificent "palace mosaic" to reproduce literally in every town house.
What is a glossy artistic laminate?
Natural art parquet is made of quality hardwoods - oak, maple, beech, mahogany, moraine oak and others. This ensures its strength and durability. In the production of artistic parquet, a high-strength fibrous board is used. It is applied decorative paper covered with a special transparent compositions consisting of special resins. Adding various minerals (corundum and others) makes the surface layer of the parquet extremely strong and wear-resistant.
Such a floor is extremely resistant to mechanical damage, ultraviolet radiation, temperature changes. Parquet is not easily scratched and it is well washed with preparations containing household chemicals. In addition, for additional protection, the edges of the material are treated with a special wax, and the construction of such a laminate is provided with glue-free locks of the Single-Click system. This allows the assembly of the structure to be carried out as quickly and reliably as possible.
Artistic laminate in the interior
Quality artificial coating is very difficult to distinguish from ordinary parquet. In production, each chamfer is specially chosen, giving the impression of a natural board. Most often, this flooring imitates wood, but the technology of laminate production makes it possible to copy any texture. If desired, the consumer can choose for themselves any coating made with marble, wild stone, even the skin.
In many ways, the choice of the pattern on the laminate determines the style of the room. Expensive art coating should be used where it will be the main element. If you make a room furniture or put a large carpet on it, then hide underneath all the beautiful patterns. The whole meaning of buying such a laminate will be lost. Before buying it, review all the options, calculate how much this coating will be in harmony with the surrounding environment, with the walls.
Classical style is more suitable figure, created in an antique manner, but modernity more correspond to natural ornaments. Usually artistic laminate is made in the form of a large picture or a repeating ornament. But quite often both variants combine, framing the image of an animal, a portrait, or another image with a bizarre curb. Another popular element is the rosette, born in the time of Gothic Europe, the element fits perfectly into the modern interior. It can be made in the form of an original flower or the emblem of the owner of the house, representing a kind of center of the floor composition.
Laminate flooring for art parquet is not a scarce product, there are often new products on the market, and it is often difficult for the buyer to make the right choice. For a long time Germany's products are famous for their high quality. It is known that the Germans will not save on quality. The laminate is Belgian, Austrian, Swiss firm not inferior to German, differing in good durability. Russian manufacturers are also gradually getting to their competitors, equipping their production with high-quality equipment. We hope that the cost of artistic laminate will gradually decrease, and ordinary consumers will increasingly decorate their homes with this magnificent floor covering in the future.
