Beveled Type vs. Non-Beveled Type: Laminate Flooring Selection Guide
What Are Beveled Laminate Flooring and Non-Beveled Laminate Flooring? How Do They Differ?
Laminate flooring is a floor covering solution produced by facing two sides of high-density fiberboard (HDF) and using specific materials, such as decor paper, overlay paper and balance paper. These products provide indoor spaces with an option that is both economical and aesthetic. Laminate flooring is categorized into two different types: beveled and non-beveled. It offers solutions for any needs with hundreds of different decor and surface options. The differences between beveled and non-beveled laminate flooring create different visual effects in living spaces. So, it is important to understand the differences between these two types before choosing laminate flooring.
What Is Non-Beveled Laminate Flooring?
Non-beveled laminate flooring is a type of laminate flooring where there are no gaps or seams between the planks and the surface looks one piece and seamless after installation. When non-beveled laminate flooring is installed, the planks fit together perfectly, and the joints are barely visible. This characteristic creates a minimalist atmosphere by offering a seamless look in living spaces with small square footage. Additionally, light colors can be chosen for non-beveled laminate flooring to make the room feel wider and more spacious. Kastamonu Entegre's Floorpan Classic, Floorpan Fix and Floorpan Sun laminate flooring ranges in light tones create a spacious and heartwarming look for your living spaces.

What Is Beveled Laminate Flooring?
Bevel is an aesthetic solution that is frequently used in laminate flooring. Bevels in laminate flooring are V-shaped chamfered recesses. Beveled laminate flooring has no physical gap at the joints like ceramic and tiled surfaces, creating a hollow air in appearance. This characteristic helps the laminate flooring create a sense of depth on the floor, giving living spaces a dynamic and vibrant look. The Petra Oak Laminate Flooring from Kastamonu Entegre’s Floorpan Sunex range adds an aesthetic and luxurious touch to your living space with its rich texture and deep appearance created by its grooved structure.

How to Care for Beveled and Non-Beveled Laminate Flooring
As with all laminate flooring types, the most important thing to remember with beveled laminate flooring is that the objects on them should be lifted, not dragged. This will prevent scratches and wear on laminate flooring. Beveled laminate flooring can be easily cleaned by wiping with damp cloth, just like with non-beveled laminate flooring.
