Laminate Flooring was first introduced in the late 1970’s, and since then has grown significantly in popularity. This isn’t surprising due to its easy installation process, effortless maintenance, and extreme affordability. Laminate flooring has a wide range of characteristics that make it a great fit for any home!
Pro’s of Laminate Flooring
Affordability
Laminate flooring can provide the visual appeal of hardwood, slate, tile, etc. for a fraction of the cost.
Visual Appeal
Laminate flooring comes in a wide array of designs that can replicate anything from domestic and exotic wood, to slate, to ceramic tile. Laminate also comes in different plank widths and styles in order for homeowners to create a customized look.
Easy Installation
Laminate is extremely easy for a DIY homeowner to install. Since it’s created as tongue and groove planks, it’s as easy as laying them down and snapping them together. These planks can even be laid over a wide variety of subfloors and with the baseboards left in place, making for a quick and easy installation.
Easy Maintenance
Laminate flooring is very easy to clean and is hygienic, making it both kid-friendly and pet-friendly.
Resistance
Laminate flooring is an extremely resilient material that can withstand scratches, fading, and dents. It’s constructed of materials such as high-density fiberboard and moisture-resistant resin, which allows it to withstand high-traffic areas such as kitchens and entryways.
