Laminate flooring can be an excellent addition to many rooms throughout your home, with benefits that genuinely meet your needs. Stunning visuals, exceptional durability, and a worthy lifespan are all ways that this floor covering can work for you. Be sure to take the time to consider all the characteristics it has to offer to get the best flooring possible.
Choosing
laminate gives you access to a wealth of possibilities. For instance, the beautiful appearance can emulate natural wood and stone, with extensive color options, textures, and finishes, for a perfect décor-match in almost every room. The plank format, available in several different sizes, gives you lots of designing freedom and a quick and easy installation.
Homeowners with a busy lifestyle often are concerned about durability, but this material comes through in that area. It easily resists scratches, scuffs, dents, and fading with rigid construction and top wear layer, leaving you with great-looking floors for years to come. It even comes with available water-resistant and waterproof properties to give you an even deeper level of peace of mind, especially with pets or children in the home.
The installation process is simple, especially if you choose a click and lock system. This floating floor can be installed over a variety of subflooring and existing flooring materials with outstanding results. If you want a quieter experience, be sure to ask about adding an underlayment beneath if the product doesn't already come with one attached.
And underlayment removes much of the “click” sound that comes from footfall and can act as a noise reducer as well. You'll find it more resilient, warmer to the touch, and generally more comfortable when standing for long periods. If you want even more softness and comfort, consider adding area rugs or runners for a nice touch.
