Laminate Flooring

Do you love the look of hardwood flooring? Hardwood flooring is beautiful, but it can be expensive. It can also be a real hassle to install and maintain.


One solution for homeowners is laminate flooring. Laminate gives you the appearance of hardwood without the disadvantages. This type of flooring is affordable, a breeze to install and maintain, and extremely resistant to wear and tear. The look of high quality laminate is so close to the real thing that only you'll know that it isn't. You can get laminate that looks like hardwood, stone, ceramic, bamboo, even cork.

Laminate is available from many major flooring manufacturers and comes in a wide range of choices. In addition to the various patterns and colors, there are different core measurements. A thicker core means more durability, often at a higher price. A thinner core isn't as durable but may be more affordable. What you should choose depends on your budget and how much traffic the area to be covered gets on average. For a high traffic area go with the highest quality floor you can afford. High quality floors have added protection against scratching and moisture damage. Some flooring choices have specially padded cores that make the flooring sound like real hardwood when it is walked on.

Speaking of moisture damage, there are specific flooring choices made especially for high-moisture areas like bathrooms. These floors are designed to hold up under high humidity and moisture. There are also floors made especially for commercial buildings. For most homeowners, a moderately priced hardwood style laminate is the ideal choice. You will find patterns and colors like pine, oak, cherry and walnut. Dark colors help large rooms look cozier, while light colors help open up small spaces. There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to choosing a floor. Most wood style floors will look great with any type of decor, from country to modern.

Another great thing about laminate flooring is how easy it is to install. Most of today's laminate floors don't even require glue. The pieces are either pre-glued or made to snap in place like puzzle pieces. Good flooring blends together seamlessly and looks like real hardwood. You'll even find laminate planks that offer the most realistic hardwood look possible. Even if you're not a home improvement professional, you can install most types of laminate floors in a matter of hours.
