  2. CONSTRUCTION Real Hardwood Stabilising Core Balancing Layer MIKASA ENGINEERED FLOORS ARE MADE OF REAL WOOD. The flooring consists of a decorative hardwood veneer that is placed on top of the core, for premium quality HDF or Pinewood. Our products are made using the latest technology to overcome any generic wood issues. www.mikasafloors.com

  3. CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERED WOODEN FLOORS VS LAMINATE FLOORS Melamine Wear Layer REAL WOOD FLOORS L A M I N A T E F L O O R I N G Engineered Wooden Floors are made up of nothing but real wood that brings your home alive and provides a visually appealing look. Laminate Floors on the other hand are just ‘printed pictures’ of wood patterns and structures on chemically hardened paper. It shows the aspects of 'real wood' but fails to match any of its characteristics. Unlike Engineered Wooden Floors where each plank exhibits a unique design, the synthetic Laminate Floors appear to produce the same pattern repeatedly. Print Film (A photo of real wood) Kraft Paper (The paper is saturated with resins) Tongue & Groove Edges (Glue is applied along all the edges) Core (The center core is also saturated in resins for hardness) Melamine Backing Source: https://www.baneclene.com/professionals/Content.aspx?xps=NDk4 MULTI-LAYER CONSTRUCTION Engineered Wooden Floors have a robust 3-layer structure which makes it more stable and fit to use. The different layers being arranged at cross grain to each other, impart stability to the floor. However, Laminate Floors by virtue of their construction face the issue of cupping at the edges. TENDER UNDER FOOT The soft feel of the modern floating Engineered Wooden Floors makes the floor especially good for an ageing population and even young children. The Laminated Floors have a coarse texture because of their synthetic construction. INDOOR AIR QUALITY Engineered Wooden Floors are environment friendly. All the lacquers and stains used for them are water based, making these floors practically VOC free and healthy to live around. On the other hand, Laminated Floors are usually made with a resin composed of Melamine and Formaldehyde. Formaldehyde emissions cause environmental and health related concerns. LONG LIFE TEMPERATURE NEUTRAL Mikasa Real Wood Floors are durable and come with a warranty of up to 30 years. They require minimal maintenance and need to be resanded and polished after about 10 -12 years of usage. Laminate Floors on the other hand have a shorter life and are easily prone to scratches with regular usage. Engineered Wooden Floors are made of real wood, which is temperature neutral. This allows it to be used in most extreme cold climates where an imitation like Laminate Floors will not give the same result. www.mikasafloors.com

  4. Performance Superiority Engineered Wooden Flooring Over Laminate Flooring Sr. No. Characteristics Laminate Flooring Explanation (Manufactured By Greenlam) 1 Natural real wood Artificial and synthetic Product construction 2 Solid wood Paper known as decorative/design paper Top surface Both type of floors are made of wood fibers that makes them non-water/moisture resistant. But the Laminate Flooring is comparatively more prone to damage by water. û Water resistance 3 û û Moisture resistance ü ü ü û ü û ü ü 4 Both are heat resistant products. Heat resistance 5 Refinishing of surface 6 Easy maintenance of floor Day to day maintenance is easy for both products. Cupping/cracking at the edges 7 Below 0.1 ppm based on European norm E1 standard HDF uses more glue than Engineered Flooring. Formaldehyde is Carcinogen. 8 VOC (Formaldehyde) emission High Not the same results like Engineered Flooring. Refer back to marketing presentation. 9 Room temp. neutrality Engineered Flooring uses softwood that reduces the impact on our feet as compared to Laminate Flooring. ü û 10 Tender/comfort under foot (soft feel) 11 Long product life ü ü ü û û û 12 Repairing of scratches on floor surface 13 FSC certification Maximum laminate companies do not follow FSC & PEFC certifications because HDF is not FSC and PEFC certified. 14 PEFC certification Laminate Flooring creates higher knocking sound than Engineered Flooring. ü û 15 Sound absorbtion HDF requires a large amount of forest timber in comparison to Engineered Flooring. This makes them less environment friendly when compared to Real Wood Flooring. ü 16 Environmental friendliness ü û 17 Resale value 18 Abrasion resistance >20,000 revolutions Max. 6500 19 Chemical resistance Class 5 Class 5 Both are chemical resistant. 20 Recyclable content 100% ü 100% û 21 Made in India www.mikasafloors.com
