Find out why you should install laminate flooring into your home.
If you’ve been considering new flooring for your home, laminate flooring might be the perfect fit for you! As manufacturing technology has improved the quality of laminate flooring has made it possible to get beautiful, long-lasting options in any style you desire. Laminate has a lot of advantages, read on to find out if it’s the right match for your home.
Long Lasting Durability
If you live in a home with small children or pets, you know just how much wear and tear your flooring gets. Laminate is much more resistant to damage when compared to traditional hardwood. Thanks to a protective coating of resin and an external layer, laminate is durable and scratch resistant. It’s also more water resistant than wood, making it easier to clean and safe from spills.
Easy Cleaning and Maintenance
One of the most significant advantages of laminate flooring is how easy it is to clean. Since it is more water resistant, it can be wiped down with soap and water when needed. That said, in general, you’ll only need a quick sweep to have your laminate floors good as new. Plus, thanks to the non-absorbent qualities, laminate is hypoallergenic.
Installation Is Easy
With boards that are designed to interlock, installing a laminate floor is one of the easiest types of flooring to manage. Because laminate can be installed over any flooring (this is called floating) it’s often ideal for DIYers. The ability to float your laminate is particularly useful in situations where other installation methods won’t work.
Price
One of the many more tangible benefits of laminate is the starting price point. Because you can install laminate DIY, and it can be less expensive up front, laminate is often an excellent choice for those looking to redo their home on a budget. While the prices for different styles and degrees of laminate can vary wildly, in general, it is much more cost-effective than other types of flooring.
