Waterproof panels - a guarantee of peace of mind
One of the most important usability issues for a floor is its resistance to external factors - such as water. As SWISS KRONO, we are constantly looking for solutions that meet the needs of floor users. Safety and convenience of use of floors is a priority for us - that's why our offer could not lack water-resistant panels. About what is de facto waterproof flooring and for which rooms such solutions can be used, you will learn from this material.
A few words about how the laminate panel is built
While the construction of wood floors or ceramic tiles is quite easy to imagine, laminate panel is a type of flooring that is a bit more advanced when it comes to construction. Laminate flooring consists of several layers. The top layer, the so-called overlay, on which we walk protects the floor from abrasion. It is made of a thin film impregnated with melamine resin with the addition of alumina, a mineral that shows high resistance to wear. Alumina is an extremely resistant material and gives the floor surface very high strength - on the Mosh hardness scale it is second only to diamond.

The next layer is a paper with a printed wood pattern, impregnated with melamine. Directly below the decor you will find the backing board, which is the base of the laminate floor. It is made of HDF board, which, because of its density, takes even very heavy loads. It is this invisible factor, which is the HDF formulation, that largely determines the floor's resistance to moisture, swelling, low water absorption.
Protection of the floor against moisture is also influenced by properly constructed joints (so-called locks). The last layer of laminate flooring is a counter-pressure layer, which gives the floor its ultimate stability. In the production process, the individual layers of laminate flooring are pressed together under high pressure and temperature.
