If you are looking for attractive and versatile flooring for your home, then laminate flooring could be for you. Below we share some of the many benefits of laminate flooring and how it could work for your home.
Cost
Laminate flooring is made of compressed wood fibres. This makes it a much more affordable flooring option than many other flooring types. Laminate flooring also has an ‘interlocking system’. This means that there are no additional costs for adhesives. Instead, you can get high-quality flooring at a fraction of the price.
Appearance
The great thing about laminate flooring is that it is laminated flooring. This means that the possibilities of design, pattern and colours are pretty much endless. You will have no trouble at all choosing laminate flooring to fit the colour and style of your room perfectly. However, you may struggle to choose a favourite as there will be so many types that you’ll love.
Maintenance
Laminate flooring is really low maintenance. This is because it has a protective layer that stops dirt from becoming ingrained into the floor. If dirt is bought into your home, a quick sweep will get rid of it. Any spillages can be cleaned up quickly and easily. Then just clean your floor regularly to keep it in great condition, click here for more information on cleaning and maintaining your flooring. Please ask about our laminate cleaning kits too!
Durability
In high-impact areas with a lot of foot traffic, such as offices and hallways, for example, you need a floor that is durable. This way it will last the test of time and look great for years to come. Another great thing about laminate flooring is that it is durable and hard-wearing. It is also impact, pressure and shock resistant. There are also some types of laminated flooring that offer additional scratch and abrasion resistance along with water resistance.
No Fading
Not only is laminate flooring durable, but it will also hold its colour too. Laminate flooring is made with a UV-protective coating. This means that even if the sun is streaming through onto the floor all day, it won’t fade. The colour it is when it’s laid will stay as bright and vivid for years to come.
Long Lasting
Research shows that a well cared for laminate flooring can last between 15 and 20 years. This research was completed in a high-traffic area too. This is a much better lifespan than other flooring options such as an affordable carpet that will need to be replaced after 7 to 10 years for example.
