Laminate Flooring in Glen Ellyn, IL from Desitter Flooring

Are All Laminate Floors Toxic?

Laminate flooring has gained popularity for its affordability, durability, and aesthetic appeal. It's a synthetic product consisting of several layers: a core of fiberboard material, a decorative layer, and a top wear layer. The core layer is often made from wood byproducts, while the decorative layer can mimic the look of hardwood, tile, or stone.
 

Dispelling the Myth

There's a common misconception that all laminate floors are toxic due to the presence of chemicals like formaldehyde in the adhesives used during manufacturing. While it's true that some laminate flooring products may contain trace amounts of formaldehyde, not all laminates are created equal.
