Laminate Flooring Made Easy

Laminate is a hugely practical, popular flooring choice. Plank flooring is versatile and comes in every colour, pattern and finish imaginable, your floor can even look like bamboo, heritage oak or highly polished hardwood. Ceramic and cork are also available on a laminate tile tongue and groove backing for ease of installation. Durable, easy to clean, scratch and stain resistant, laminate can chip if heavy objects are dropped with a lot of force. Mop up spills right away or use a bath mat in your bathroom when stepping out of the tub or shower. While laminate on your bathroom floor does not do well with excessive moisture it has no problems in hallways, kitchens and living rooms. Some recommended brands are Pergo, Laurentian, Armstrong and Wicanders laminate flooring materials.

If you’re considering installing laminate flooring in your home here are some points to help with your decision.

1. It’s durable. Warranties are typically anywhere from 10 to 20 years, telling you that the manufacturer’s have plenty of confidence in their product.

2. It looks clean and it’s easy to keep clean. A slightly damp cloth applied with a microfibre mop-head does the trick just fine.

3. It’s family and pet-friendly. I’ve watched our grandchildren chase dogs, cats and toys across laminate flooring for the past two years with barely a scratch. The floor still looks brand new and it’s at least 5 years old.

4. It’s beautiful. Laminate flooring finishes are so good they’re barely distinguishable from hardwood–and they come in such variety that you can achieve any look you want.

5. It’s affordable–usually two-thirds the price of installed hardwood and much less if you decide to do it yourself.
