Why Laminate Flooring?
Laminate flooring is the newest and hottest trend to hit the residential flooring industry since the early days of linoleum!
It is an ultra-durable product that looks like a real wood or stone floor, yet costs about one-third less that the ‘real thing,’ it is easier to install and typically lasts longer.
Laminate also offers other benefits including:
-High UV resistance, blocking the sun’s harmful rays and protecting the floor pattern from fading over a period of time
-Easy installation
-Excellent warranty protection
-Easy repairs
-Easy cleaning, laminate floors do not trap dirt. Most spills can be wiped up easil
Laminate means…versatility.
Laminate flooring gives you flexibility. Wood grains and lightly colored stone patterns provide the opportunity dramatically change the overall look and feel of a room by changing some of the accents.
Be creative.
Look at your flooring options from different angles: laminate planks can be installed diagonal, and tiles can either be laid corner to corner or in a staggered manner to create a variety of different looks. You’ll need an extra 15-20% more material for waste, but the results are worth it.
Match or contrast- that is the question!
With so many wood grain looks available in laminate, most consumers are tempted to try to match new flooring to the color of existing cabinetry. And while it may work for some instances, you will probably be more satisfied with end result if you choose a contrasting or coordinating look.
