Composite plastic

The more commonlyrnreferred to as planks, plastic laminate tiles are also appropriate forrnremodelling. The tiles don't significantly increase the height of the existingrnfloor, making room-to-room transitions easier to arrange, similar to laminaterncounters for a generation or two. Although laminate is durable and simple tornclean, it is not water-resistant. It is recommended to use it in a half-bathrnrather than a full bath because standing water can cause the fiberboard core tornexpand and buck.
