ETM Laminate

Laminate floors have smooth surfaces that are free of seams, making them easy to clean. That never need wet mopping. A dry mop or broom will take care of most of the dust and dirt. For deep cleaning, it’s best to use a hard surface mopping tool that dispenses cleaning fluid instead of water.
Scratch-resistant due to their tough wear layer, most homes are well suited for homes with pets and children.
Laminate floors are inexpensive relative to other types of floor coverings, though some premium laminate floors can cost as much as solid hardwood or engineered wood flooring.
Constructed largely of moisture-sensitive particleboard, laminate flooring can swell beyond repair if subjected to water for too long. In theory, laminate flooring is waterproof—only if all boards are perfectly joined with no seams. If the edges are all trimmed with waterproof baseboards.
it is not suitable for any place where moisture is prevalent. That can be a problem since it often rules out full bathrooms, laundry rooms. Sometimes even key areas in kitchens, like in front of dishwashers or behind refrigerators.
sometimes people calls laminate wood floors, though they are wood only in two respects: base material and appearance.
First, this floor base consists of pressed chipped wood particles. Second, the top has the appearance of real wood due to the accurate image layer—essentially a well-rendered photograph of wood encased in a clear, durable wear layer.
