In recent times, laminate flooring has seen a significant rise in sales. Despite the current economic climate, the laminate flooring market in the United Kingdom has fared somewhat better than other floor covering markets.
This trend is set to be reflected elsewhere too, with recent reports from the United States displaying a growing demand - in another struggling market - for laminate flooring.
With this newfound popularity, laminate flooring manufacturers are planning to promote the material in the Asian market - with a particular focus on the growing Indian and Chinese markets.
Thanks to advances in technology, it is now possible for laminate flooring manufacturers to mimic the texture - to every last nuance - of other more expensive floor coverings such as granite and solid wood - at the same time as maintaining a high level of durability.
It has also been forecast that about two billion square metres of laminate flooring will have been sold in the next 15 years.
