Bevel
Bevels in Laminate Flooring
Bevels in laminate flooring refer to the angled edges on each plank that create a distinct groove when installed. These grooves enhance the appearance of individual planks, adding depth and a more realistic wood-floor look.
Types of Bevels:
Micro-Bevel – A subtle, fine groove that adds definition while keeping a smooth, seamless look.
Standard Bevel – A more noticeable edge that mimics the natural cut of real hardwood.
Deep Bevel – A pronounced groove for a bold, authentic wood floor effect.
Painted or V-Groove – Features a colored edge for added contrast and dimension.
Benefits of Beveled Laminate Flooring:
Realistic Wood Appearance – Enhances the natural look of laminate by mimicking real wood planks.
Conceals Imperfections – Helps hide minor subfloor unevenness and plank variations.
Improved Durability – Reduces visible wear on edges, keeping floors looking newer for longer.
A 4V bevel in laminate flooring means that all four edges of each plank have a beveled finish. This creates a distinct groove between each plank, giving the floor a more natural, realistic wood appearance.
