WhY CHOOSE laminate?
Laminate flooring has become a popular choice for many homeowners due to its ability to closely emulate today's most popular hard surfaces, especially hardwood planks and ceramic or stone tiles. Besides the great textures and designs, laminate flooring offers improved durability, easier maintenance and affordability compared to other types of hard surface floors.
With a direct pressure laminate surface it is virtually impossible for spills and scuffs to leave a mark. The clear surface layer protects the pattern underneath and is highly resistant to cigarette burns and scratches from pets.
Maintenance is quick and easy using a damp cloth or vacuum and most household cleaning chemicals will not harm a laminate floor. The surface is hygienic and is excellent for people suffering from allergies.
Laminate flooring can be installed almost anywhere in the home, including over dry concrete slabs, wooden subfloors and many types of existing floor coverings. The low clearance space height means laminates are particularly suited for renovation and restoring old houses where floor thicknesses can be a problem.
Another major difference is the ease of installation. Laminate flooring is a floating floor. It requires no glue or nails because its unique locking system seamlessly closes together. This is a real do-it-yourself project.
You will need some form of padding, and most importantly a vapor barrier to keep moisture away from your laminate flooring. You may also need some transition pieces to place between laminate flooring and tile, or laminate flooring and carpet.
