What You Don’t Know About Laminate Flooring

Tile and hardwood floors are highly sought-after by homeowners who wish to renovate their homes. Unfortunately, both hardwood and tile flooring can be prohibitively expensive, and difficult to install. Homeowners who wish to achieve the appearance of these floors without spending a small fortune are able to install laminate flooring instead.

Laminate flooring is easy to install, able to be placed by most homeowners without the use of special tools. If the flooring becomes damaged, homeowners can simply remove the damaged planks and replace them with new ones without having to take up the entire floor. Laminate flooring’s durability and water-resistance make it a logical choice for kitchen, mudroom, and bathroom floors.

In addition to being water and stain resistant, laminate floors are aesthetically pleasing and come in a wide variety of colors and textures. Textured laminate floor tiles and planks allow homeowners to acquire a floor with a convincing appearance of being made of ceramic tiles, hardwood planks, or natural rock.

One of the reasons installing laminate floors is so popular is the low level of maintenance required. To clean a laminate floor, simply sweep, then wipe with a damp mop. Avoid using soap-based detergents, as they often leave a film on the floor, dulling its shine. Keep pet nails trimmed and utilize floor mats at entrances and exits to prevent scratches in the floor’s finish.

Of course, no floor is without its flaws, and laminate is just like other flooring options in that aspect. Unlike carpeting and cork flooring, laminate floors do nothing to insulate a room from heat, cold, or noise, and can be hard to walk on.

Laminate flooring is a great, economical flooring choice for many homeowners. If you think you would be interested in using laminate flooring, talk to your local home renovation professionals about what kind of look you wish to achieve, and they are sure to help you out.
