Haro brand laminate: German quality

Since the 70s of the last century, laminate is considered one of the most practical and affordable flooring. At the same time, Haro laminate, which combines long-standing traditions and modern technologies, is in particular demand among the variety of modern multi-layered parquet substitutes.

Laminate Haro: a unique coating from the German manufacturer.

The manufacturer of this laminate is the company Hamberger (Germany), which has been manufacturing floor coverings for almost a century and a half.

90% of the coating is the wood component, which brings the laminate in its ecological qualities to real natural wood.

Each lamella cover consists of:

• stabilizing layer;
• carrier plate;
• decorative layer;
• the special impregnation increasing moisture resistance.

At the same time, the manufacturer pays priority attention to product quality, thanks to which the brand laminate is almost indistinguishable from the floorboard in its appearance and characteristics. The difference can be determined only by a highly qualified specialist.

The company uses the following technologies in the production of laminate:

• ComforTec. These are self-adhesive strips that promote the strongest adhesion of the lamella to the base of the floor.
• Silent CT. This system increases noise absorption (the noise level is reduced by 60%).

• Sun protect - treatment that protects the coating from ultraviolet radiation and allowing the laminate to maintain a natural appearance throughout the entire life cycle.
• AquaTec System - double moisture protection system that protects the edges of the slats from getting wet and prevents the ingress of moisture inside.

Due to the technologies used and quality control at all stages of production, Haro's laminated coating has a large number of advantages that distinguish it favorably from the “standard” laminate.

Its main advantages include:

• Increased durability and resistance to abrasion, so that the laminate can be used for more than 20 years.
• Resistance to mechanical stress. Neither heels, nor furniture, nor children's toys leave scratches or dents on the surface.

• Hypoallergenic and easy to clean. Thanks to special coatings and impregnations, the laminate does not absorb dirt and dust, and therefore cannot become the medium for reproduction of various microorganisms that can cause allergic reactions.
• Moisture resistance. Even with a sufficiently long exposure to moisture, it does not swell and does not lose its performance characteristics.
• Versatility and wide range. The coating imitates wood (oak, pine, walnut and other types of wood), has different shades, texture, size and durability, which allows it to be used both in residential buildings and in public institutions with high permeability.

• Compatibility with the system "warm floor". Unlike many laminated coatings, Haro laminate can be laid over any type of heating element. In addition, he is not afraid of heaters installed on the outside of the slats, it does not leave traces of cigarette ash and hookah.

Haro laminate flooring is available in one, two or three strip versions. At the same time, the texture and shades of the lamella most faithfully imitate natural wood.

In the range of the company there are boards:

• With barely visible porosity. The surface of the porous lamellae can be completely matte or have a silky matted glow.
• With rustic pores. In this embodiment, the porosity of the surface is more pronounced, due to which unusual design sensations are created during the design.
• With a completely smooth matte finish.

• Structured - visually and in texture almost indistinguishable from natural wood. There are glossy and fully matte options.
• Authentic. According to its decor and structure fully comply with the wood. Such models have a shine that resembles the gloss of a varnished wood.

Laminate from Hamberger has six lamella format options:

• classic single band 193x1282 mm;
• two-lane with normal dimensions 193x1282 mm;
• three-lane with standard parameters 193х1282 mm;
• Loft 4V with dimensions of 135x1282 mm;
• Campus 4V with dimensions of 243x1282 mm;
• Gran Via 4V with increased parameters of floorboards 243x2200 mm.

Such a variety allows you to choose coverage for any interior and various premises.

At present, the following collections are represented in the assortment of the company:

In the collection there are bezfasochnye models, as well as chamfered around the perimeter. The first when laying form a continuous coating, the second create the illusion of real wooden floorboards.

The universal 32 class this collection belongs to makes Tritty 100 laminate the most popular among buyers. Board thickness - 8 mm. There are models with chamfer and without, one-, two-and three-way options.

Image coverage. It has the best performance, but at the same time it costs much more than its "classmates".

All collections feature a wide variety of shades, textures and "tree species".

Along with the original German products, a lot of cheaper replicas are represented on the modern market.

To distinguish a real laminate of European quality from a fake, experts recommend paying attention to the following factors:

• Smell. Sharp and unpleasant, he will “say” that unsafe materials were used in the manufacture of boards. Only small firms making counterfeits for world brands can afford such a “mistake”.

• Quality packaging. Large companies are packing their goods in a simple but durable material that can protect the laminate during transport. At the same time, on each package, basic information about the product and its manufacturer is mandatory.
• The geometry of the boards themselves. Branded products have perfectly clear shapes and uniform sizes. Counterfeit ones do not have uniform standards; they may differ in size even within the same batch.

• Moisture resistance. To test it, put a small enough piece of laminate in a container with water. If after 8 hours it has swelled by more than 1/5 of the original volume, then you have a quality fake.

In addition, before buying it is necessary to examine the certificates for products.

Thanks to Top Connect’s unique locking system, Haro laminate flooring creeps easily.

However, for quality coverage it is necessary to comply with several mandatory conditions:

• Preparation of the rough surface of the floor. It should be smooth - without cracks and bumps. In the presence of irregularities, they must be eliminated with a special leveling mass.
• Laminate is laid only on a dry surface.

• Under the lamella there is a film that protects from moisture and noise (when laying laminate with the Silent CT system, additional insulation is not required).
• Installation of laminate coating begins from the right corner of the room. In this case, in narrow rooms, lamellae are best laid in the longitudinal direction. In rooms of complex and unusual forms, the area is pre-delimited with the help of specialized systems.

In addition, when installing, you should strictly follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Care of Haro laminate does not present significant difficulties, since the surface of the lamellae has antistatic and dirt-repellent properties.

To maintain order in the room with this flooring, it is enough to regularly clean the floor with a vacuum cleaner or a not very hard brush.

Wet cleaning can be done as required. At the same time for the care of the lamella is to use a flat cleaner and a specialized tool.

Replacing such a detergent composition can be other means without abrasive particles.

If you are going to buy laminate, some consumers are thinking about whether it makes sense to overpay for a brand, or it is better to buy something that is cheaper.
