Laminate flooring is known to outperform other types of flooring when there are increases in temperature or moisture from long periods of rain. It offers durability that can stand up to puddles, mud, and other things coming into your home.
The laminate of today has been refined and offers sophisticated style options and impressive durability without the excessive cost of other flooring options. Both builders and interior designers have.
Laminate flooring has made a massive comeback in recent years as builders and interior designers have welcomed the material with excitement. The following are things you should know about laminate flooring and its benefits.
1. Durability
Laminate flooring is waterproof so moist weather as well as everyday spills that happen all year long. If you use laminate it comes with peace of mind and you can be worry-free for whatever weather or messy spills might come your way.
2. Affordability
The cost of laminate flooring is very appealing, especially as consumers are looking for more cost-effective home improvement solutions. Laminate flooring typically starts at around one dollar per square foot, making it an affordable option, and has many styles to choose from.
3. Style
Laminate gives you a wide variety of tones and textures so you can find the perfect style option for your home. Designed to closely replicate the natural look of real hardwood, stone and even mosaic patterns, laminate flooring offers both style and function.
4. Wood-like options
If you want the look of wood without maintenance concerns, laminate is the way to go. It has a core made from wood byproducts bonded with resins and a hard plastic surface protecting the printed design layer, laminate closely resembles hardwood in appearance, texture, and depth.
5. Easy maintenance
General cleaning on laminate floors is as easy as using a standard soft-bristle broom or dust mop on a weekly basis. If you vacuum, be sure to disengage the beater bar with hard bristles that can scratch or dull the surface. For deep cleans, every two months is recommended, use a laminate-friendly product like the Bellawood Floor Cleaner applied to the mop – not directly to the floor – and avoid oil-based cleaning agents or anything containing wax or polish.
Not all laminate is created equal – which is why it’s important to look for options tested and proven to stand up to the elements. Do your homework or get a recommendation from The Smith King Team on what manufacturers are the best.
