Laminate Allock is a modern type of high-quality flooring, containing a huge number of advantages and is very popular among buyers. The variety of its color scheme provides great opportunities in order to realize even the most creative ideas in the interior design of any room. However, sometimes consumers have difficulty choosing colors. Therefore, some tips on how to choose the right shade of the laminate will never be superfluous.
What nuances should be considered when choosing a color
There is an opinion that the color of the laminate floor does not have much significance, since basically a person looks at completely different things, and not on the floor. However, it is worth noting immediately that this statement is erroneous, since the competent selection of the color scheme of the Alloc laminate plays a large role in creating a harmonious interior.
To choose the right color, you need to remember some nuances, for example:
- compliance of the laminate with the features of the room,
- the influence of colors in the interior on the mood,
- the combination of the color of the floor covering with the purpose of the room and so on.
Alloc laminate has many colors, therefore, in order to make the best choice, it is very important to consider all the features of the room: purpose, area, ceiling height, number of windows and many, many others. For example, light shades are most suitable for a room with low ceilings, as they visually make it more spacious.
In a room located on the north side, because of what it can look and feel cold, the floor will look best in warm shades of red or yellow palette. And for a bright and spacious room, the most suitable is a dark laminate.
The choice of color of the laminate flooring to some extent depends on the purpose of the room. If we talk about a room where a large number of people constantly reside, then in this case it is worth giving preference to a matte laminate of dark color. Light tones and dark glossy in this case should be avoided, since even the smallest pollution becomes noticeable on them.
In the kitchen, the laminate from the Alloc Stone collection “looks like a tile” will look great, and in the home office or office room, the most profitable shades for the interior will be reddish-brown shades that encourage active action.
Choosing a laminate flooring, do not ignore the style of the room in which the installation will be done. Therefore, you need to remember a few tips:
- for a room with an interior in high-tech style, the laminate of a cold metallic shade or gray wood is most suitable,
- in a country-style or retro-style room, laying of the color of cherry, oak or bamboo is appropriate
- For an avant-garde interior, bright, flashy shades or the simultaneous combination of several different shades are most suitable.
How not to make a mistake with choosing a laminate
If you decide to purchase a laminate, the manufacturer Alloc will provide you with a huge range of products, among which you can always choose the most suitable one that meets even the most bizarre requests. High quality, reliability and durability of Allok products will be a real gift for any consumer.
Made in norway
Alloc AS is a modern and dynamically developing company with a rich history. The Alloc AS factory was opened back in 1952. Then the company produced varnished panels for shipbuilding. But since 1960, the factory began to produce a progressive laminate flooring for that time. Since then, the number of fans of this practical, beautiful and durable material has been steadily growing. However, the company's policy remains unchanged - the use of advanced technologies and high quality products.
So, the hallmark of Alloc AS is the HPL laminate (High Pressure Laminate). The unique technology of its manufacture allows the use of this flooring in rooms with a tremendously high load and traffic.
The second distinctive and no less noticeable characteristic of Alloc AS products is the aluminum locking system, used since 1996. It was Alloc AS that was the first to switch to the production of a laminate with a glueless system for joining boards! Today, Alloс AS produces a laminate with several patented aluminum lock systems, which are 2-3 times stronger than those of other companies.

Enthusiastic customer reviews
Buyers often doubt whether it is worth giving preference to expensive goods. This also applies to laminate flooring. But those who decide to purchase the Alloc laminate for domestic or commercial use will always be delighted.
Maria : I bought myself a Norwegian laminate Alloc Home about 2 years ago. They laid it quite easily and quickly, which made me very happy. For two years, the laminate holds well.
Edward : At the beginning of this year, they laid the laminate Alloc Domestic in the kitchen. We arrived for linoleum, and bought a laminate, skirting boards. It does not creak, does not spread, there are no cracks, it does not react to water in any way (we regularly spill something).
Andrei : I bought a laminate of class 34 Alloc Commercial at my car dealership about 2 years ago, and I like it as new. Very pleased with the choice.
Vladislav : Parents in the store about three years ago made repairs and laid this laminate from Norway on Alloc Commercial Stone castles. Still lies as new.
Alloc Laminate Specifications
It is safe to say that the products of the Allok company have no equivalent analogues in terms of strength and wear resistance of products. The quality indicator in this case is the lifetime warranty provided by the manufacturer for its goods.
Of course, such a high warranty period can only be ensured if all the requirements for installation and subsequent care are met. It should also be noted that the unlimited warranty term applies only to those coatings that will be used in the living room.
The key to quality is unique operational properties, which are ensured by the use of environmentally friendly components in the production process, as well as advanced technical developments.
As a result, the consumer receives not only a reliable, but also a decoratively attractive coating.
If we talk about the characteristics, it should be noted the design of the castle joints.
In this case, aluminum locks are used that can withstand a tensile load of up to 1200 kilograms per linear meter. This figure is twice, if not three times higher than that of similar devices used by other manufacturers.
The laminate structure is also unique - the middle layer of the plate is made of high-strength material having a density of 950 kg-m. cube The extreme layers are a high pressure laminate, pressed under a load of 2.5 million kilograms. This ensures incredible strength and hardness of the floor. Among the components of the upper layer there is also aluminum oxide, which in terms of strength exceeds even steel alloys.
In the production process of such a laminate, a number of technical innovations are used. In particular, Aqua Protect technology minimizes the possible effects of moisture and makes the canvas completely waterproof. Lock and end connections are impregnated with hot wax, which reliably protects the joints from moisture.
The Silent System underlay provides maximum sound insulation. Thus, the audibility of steps or bumps from falling objects will be fifty percent lower than in the case of using a “normal” laminate and substrate.
Allock Collections: berry alloc and others
Choosing a collection, first of all, you need to proceed from design considerations. It should be noted that almost the entire laminate of this company imitates wooden surfaces.
At the same time, differences in the collections are, of course, present. So, you can choose a berry alloc laminate. There are several basic collections in this segment, including canvas with or without chamfer, as well as a waterproof look.
The non-chamfer option is a high-quality imitation of a wooden floor.
By laying such a material, an integral coating is formed that is resistant to moisture and other external influences. Chamfered laminate allows you to create exact copies of the plank floor. It is noteworthy that the bevel of this material is also laminated.
It should be noted that all Allok products are resistant to moisture. At the same time, there is also a special, waterproof laminate. During the production of such a material, it is processed in a special way, as a result of which a unique barrier is created on the surface that prevents moisture from entering the fabric. Such material can be used even in the bathroom without fear for its integrity.
One of the basic collections is considered Alloc Home. Here are 15 basic colors, including wenge, pear, beech, acacia and various colors of oak. This view is well suited for creating a classic interior - its surface is well drawn.
And the laminate of the Original collection can imitate both parquet and deck boards, as well as intricate wooden mosaics. In this case, you can also choose from light and dark shades in order to make the floor a background or highlight its central value.
Allok laminate - advantages and disadvantages
The main disadvantage of this material is the price level, which clearly refers to the category “above average”. However, the cost of this flooring is justified. So, the strength of the coating is provided by the following factors:
- Unique aluminum lock system,
- A protective layer, the thickness of which varies from 0.4 to 0.6 mm,
- Operational coverage class - from 31 to 34,
- Additional water protection (during testing after 24 hours of immersion in water, the plate swelled by 8 percent - despite the fact that the normative indicator is 18).
Thanks to all these factors, Allok laminate has excellent resistance to mechanical stress and pressure. The advantages of this type of coating is also that the installation is not difficult. Complete with the material is a detailed installation instruction, but in general the whole process is quite simple and consists in “snapping” one module to another.
What to choose
First of all, you must understand that allo laminate is the material of the premium segment. Accordingly, we are not talking about savings. But the amount of invested funds will fully justify itself, because a lifetime warranty is an absolute indicator of quality.
As for the design, there are about ten basic collections of your choice that simulate wood of different species and with different types of processing - there are matte, glossy and varnished coatings. By the way, this laminate imitates not only the pattern, but also the structure of the wood. As for the operational properties, they are even higher than that of wood (for example, moisture resistance and resistance to mechanical wear).
