Looking for New Flooring?

Choosing flooring for your home can be exciting and overwhelming. There are so many materials, styles, and colors to choose from. Let’s discuss a very popular choice, laminate. 

Why choose laminate flooring over traditional hardwood? For one thing, it’s the more cost-effective option. You can save money and still get to choose from a large variety of styles and colors. Laminate is quite easy to install, so you don’t have to have a professional come and do it. There are many online tutorials that you can watch. It is important to do your homework first, and learn how to avoid getting bumps or gaps during installation. Laminate is very durable and can last you years and years. It’s scratch-resistant and easy to clean, so these are a great option if you have pets.

Although laminate is durable, it is not indestructible. Be careful to not drop or drag heavy or sharp items on them. They cannot be refinished like hardwood, so if you damage them, they will need to be replaced. Be careful to not use abrasive cleaning chemicals or tools to clean them. Vacuuming and mopping with a slightly dampened microfiber mop is all it takes to clean them. Use a laminate-safe cleaner or even just water.
