If you have pets and kids roving around, then laminate is the best floors for you. Hardwood Giant is the largest provider of Laminate flooring in Oakville.

Do you know that laminate is made from multiple layers? Although each layer serves a unique purpose and is joined together in one plank. The uppermost layer or the “wear” layer withstands daily scratches and impacts. It still needs maintenance like hardwood but is more durable. The middle layer is the “decorative” layer. This layer is for aesthetics purpose as this gives an appearance like hardwood. The last two layers are core and base layers, to provide stability and protection. These layers are clubbed together and glued employing heat and extreme pressure. You would also notice that some laminate planks have a denser core than others, which increases the overall durability. The common breadth sizes for laminate flooring are as below:
· 6 millimetres (minimum price, minimum durability)
· 8 millimetres
· 10 millimetres
· 12 millimetres (maximum price, maximum strength)

A waterproof laminate flooring will have additional features in the core to protect against moisture. Luxury laminate flooring often has a textured appearance and gives a more natural look.
