Benefits of Laminate Flooring

Durability

Laminate flooring is extremely durable. The resin coating provides a tough outer layer that is strong, and scratch and water resistant. Laminate flooring is not waterproof, however, so it’s not a good fit for areas prone to lots of water, like bathrooms or laundry rooms. Generally, laminate flooring is strong enough to stand up to even heavy traffic and it is a great choice for families with kids or pets.

Maintenance

Laminate flooring is moisture and stain resistant so it is very easy to clean. You don’t need any special cleaners for it and most floors really only require daily sweeping to look their best. Laminate flooring is also hypoallergenic because there’s nowhere for dust to hide and the moisture barrier prevents mold.

Versatility

Laminate flooring comes in a variety of finishes and styles. It can even imitate the look of hardwood, tiles, and natural stone. The planks come in a variety of textures, widths, and thicknesses. Laminate will have a style that beautifully matches both your aesthetic and your budget.

Cost

Most consumers begin to learn about laminate due to it’s affordability. Laminate is a very cost effective flooring option. It can hold its own in terms of looks and quality while being significantly less expensive than other flooring materials. It is also often cheaper to install than other flooring options, since it goes down quickly and easily, without needing a specialized subfloor or glue and nails.

Installation

Laminate is easier to install than most other flooring choices, which is why the cost of labor is less. The boards are designed to interlock, and they often don’t need to be glued or nailed down since the “float” over the existing floor. In fact, laminate flooring can be installed over just about any subfloor, from concrete to other vinyl products. If you do choose laminate, be honest about your abilities. It may seem easy, but unless you have some experience, it might be worth the cost to have it installed professionaly.
