Laminate flooring changes the game for most people who love stone floors, tile floors, and wood floors. This type of flooring material brings to homes and business spaces the appeal and feel of the traditional thing but leaves behind all of the work and demerits. With a laminate floor fitted in your property, you don’t have to worry about much maintenance, paying more to get all the flooring boards you need, or having to change floors often.
This floor is best suited for families that have little time on their hands to do clean up or those with pets. It comes in various thicknesses, which determines how effective and expensive the board is. Often the thickness varies from 6 to 12 mm. The thicker it is, the higher its ability to absorb the abuse from thuds, walks, etc.
Laminate floors can come in an almost limitless variety of designs tailored to the user’s preference. However, there are three main variants:
Unlike hardwood and tiles, laminate flooring doesn’t need to be glued, nailed, or fastened with any other alternatives. This is a floating board that utilizes a click-lock method to snap into place. With this, the board can seamlessly expand and contract with changes in temperature without any distortion.
Two things determine how much a floor material cost: the manner of installation and the thickness. The thicker your material is, the higher the price as this plays a role in its performance. However, this price point has nothing to do with the installation cost. When you go for a solid hardwood flooring, you get to pay between $2- $10 per square feet and $2 – $6 for engineered hardwood. However, for a laminate floor, you get to purchase it for $1.5 – $4 per square foot.
When you install a new floor, your home is to enjoy the same look and performance even years after. When you go for solid hardwood or engineered hardwood, you are promised decades of prime condition and beauty. This is affected by the kind of material, the manufacturer’s process, and your manner of maintenance. However, these floors are often subject to sanding and refinishing over the years.
When you install a laminate floor in your property, you are promised 15 – 25 years of the prime condition and look. This floor is highly resistant to moisture and stains and comes with an extensive warranty, unlike its alternatives. This resisting ability makes it a perfect match for homes with little time on their hands or pet owners.
When it comes to the condition of the environment a flooring material is exposed to, it is clear that solid hardwood doesn’t perform great in areas with humidity up to 65%. Hence, it cannot be installed in areas like your bathroom and basement. This is because of it being a naturally sourced material. However, laminate floors are made through a combination of resources. Whereas it can withstand higher humidity than solid hardwood and engineered hardwood, it still can’t perform flawlessly in an area exposed to a constant water pool.
Many see laminate flooring as a fine alternative to real wood and for good reasons. A high-quality laminate floor will give off the look of real wood at first glance. This is due to the technology involved in emulating the surface of real hardwood flooring. However, laminate flooring can never compete with the real thing. The deep variety of texture that comes from wood grains on a real hardwood cannot be imitated.
It is a happier experience having to only sweep your floor to make it clean, and that’s what laminate flooring offers. With a laminate floor sitting in your home or business, you only have to dry mop or sweep frequently to keep it looking great. That makes it a great option for folks who have better things to do or have to clean the floors too often. However, hardwood requires more care than that. For a solid hardwood floor, you need products made for hardwood floors to get the stains off. Using generally made products will only lead to discoloring or leftover streaks of dirt on your floor.
