Laminate Floor Installation

Laminate flooring is becoming an increasingly popular choice for flooring material due to its affordability and durability.  Laminate flooring is usually either made of plastic or engineered hardwood, which is what helps make it durable and affordable. It is made of multiple layers that are fused together through a process called lamination. Depending on the style and brand in which you choose, it is installed by gluing to the subfloor, a click-and-lock system, or using a peel and stick method. It typically comes in planks but can also come in a variety of shapes. Various colors and finishes are available, making it a highly versatile option. Laminate can allow for flexibility in how it is installed, allowing for various pattern configurations, including alternating panels and chevron patterns. 

Pros of Laminate Flooring: 

Affordability: laminate is known as one of the more budget-friendly flooring options compared to natural materials like hardwood or stone. Laminate is great because it often mimics the look of these natural materials, making it a beautiful option for those on a budget. 

Versatility: laminate comes in a wide variety of designs, patterns, shapes and finishes. They often resemble the final look of a wood or stone floor. This versatility can allow you to achieve the aesthetic you want without the high cost of natural materials. 

Durability: laminate flooring is known to be highly scratch resistant, in addition to faring well against dents and stains. This can make it a great option for high traffic areas in your home, especially if you have pets or young children. Laminate is a great option for businesses because it can last a very long time. The outer surface helps protect against everyday wear and tear, unlike other materials. 

Low maintenance: unlike wood or tile flooring, laminate requires little to no maintenance. Routine sweeping and occasionally mopping are usually enough to keep it clean and well-maintained. No special waxing or polishing required. 

Moisture resistant: laminate flooring usually is moisture-resistant, making it a good option for areas prone to humidity, spills or other water issues. Laminate can be a good option for basements, bathrooms and kitchens for this reason.
