What’s Not to Like about Laminate Flooring?

Laminate flooring is quite possibly the best all-encompassing package for your decorating dollar and perfect for busy families who want low maintenance flooring. Check out this impressive list of benefits:

1. Laminate flooring is extremely durable

Protected by a tough external layer and resin coating, a laminate floor is much stronger, and more scratch-resistant, impact-resistant and longer lasting than any hardwood, vinyl, or carpet. It’s virtually resistant to dogs, cats, kids and even high heels.

2. Laminate flooring is stain, fade, and moisture resistant

Most laminate flooring manufacturers offer extensive warranty protection against stains, fading, and moisture damage. Hardwood floors, on the other hand, are subject to wood grain staining, fading in sunlight, and can scratch and dent easily.

3. Laminate flooring is easy to clean and maintain

Laminate's superior stain and moisture-resistant surface coating makes spills and other messes easy to handle. This special surface doesn’t require waxes or varnishes to keep it looking great.

4. Laminate flooring is easy to install

The introduction of glueless laminate floors revolutionized ease of installation in the industry. Not only are the flooring sections smaller, designed to interlock, and easier to work with, but laminate floors can also be installed over most non-textile existing subfloors. In this “floating floor” method of installation, the laminate floor is laid or “floated” over the existing subfloor without being glued to the surface. This saves considerable time and installation cost. Moreover, laminate floors are easy to un-install and replace quickly and easily when it’s time for a style update.

5. Laminate flooring is economical
Not only is laminate flooring generally less expensive than other hard surface floors to start with, but when its durability and longevity are considered, it becomes a particularly economical choice.

6. Laminate flooring offers a variety of styles
While many laminate floors simulate the authentic look of hardwood or stone, the possibilities for new styles and colors are limitless. A variety of color tones and patterns enable you to match the floor with the exact mood and style of your room, whether it’s rich and elegant or cool and contemporary. We think you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the availability, realism and quality of today’s laminate floor styles.

7. Laminate flooring is environmentally friendly
Laminate flooring is made from wood and wood by-products, and does not involve the harvesting of rare or endangered trees.

I love laminate flooring! Tampa, where my house is, have been fitted with it. It really looks like real wood and it's much easier to clean. I really recommend laminate wood flooring. Tampa residents should use it too!

Laminating and putting carpets are just two of the great options to beautify your flooring. Cleaning services in Long Island once taught me that either of the two ways is considerable on my maple floor. What important is the daily cleaning and how it'll protect my little kids from possible germs. Because we are living along the coastline villages of Long Island, cleaning services regularly visit our house not just to clean but do some floor fumigation and carpet dusting because of the daily wet sand brought by my cute kids' little footies.

I can say that I was really impressed by this article! What else should you consider when redoing your laminate flooring?

Unknown said...

I used to not like laminate flooring, but there are some really nice styles these days. I am redoing my home and am considering using laminate instead of carpet in some high traffic areas. It is more durable that carpet and is cheaper too!

I have been thinking about redoing the flooring in my dining room for some time now. We currently have carpet that has seen better days. I think that I am going to put in laminate flooring. I would attempt to do the job myself but I don't have the tools or know-how. I know of a company here in town that would be able to help me out. http://www.montgomeryflooring.net/
