Difference between laminate flooring and vinyl flooring

Laminate floors and vinyl floors are increasingly popular products used in all types of spaces, whether domestic or commercial, even for wet areas such as bathrooms or kitchens. Due to its great demand, this type of flooring has evolved to obtain a resistant, stable product with a wide range of formats and finishes.

When deciding what type of floor you will place in your projects, it is very important to be clear about the material to be chosen depending on its use, if it is going to be heavily trafficked, if you need a floor that is more resistant to scratches or if it is going to be in contact with moisture. At Gabarró we have a wide range of laminate floors and vinyl floors. What difference do we find between these two products?

Laminate flooring is made up of a core of fibers approximately 8 mm thick, plus an upper wear layer and a compensation layer at the bottom, available in different designs and finishes to choose from. Our range of laminate flooring products is: 

• EGGER PRO Laminate Flooring: Particularly resistant interior flooring, with a visually very attractive design in a classic style. A durable and insulating product, resistant to moisture. Its installation is very simple thanks to its click system.

The vinyl floor is made up of a resin core approximately 5 mm thick (according to design) plus a top wear layer. It is a more resistant and durable material than laminate floors due to its composition. At Gabarró we offer you the following range of vinyl flooring products:
