How To Choose The Best Laminate Flooring

Looking for easy care flooring that keeps its shine over a long period of time? A new type of flooring, laminate is replacing traditional flooring for kitchen, bathroom, dining room and laundry room floors. Laminate flooring contains many advantages over traditional flooring options. Laminate comes in a variety of patterns mimicking wood, stone and tile and the cost is much less then the real thing.  Laminate is more durable and scratch resistant then genuine hardwood flooring. Laminate is easy to install due to its interlocking design and not needing to be attached directly to the sub flooring. Laminate's 7-10mm thickness makes for easy attachment to adjacent existing floors. Another plus of laminate is that it is environmentally, child and pet friendly.


Laminate flooring may be engineered bamboo, cork tile, hardwood, floating cork, floating hardwood and distressed wood. When choosing laminate consider the amount of traffic the floor will be experiencing on a daily basis. High traffic areas need thicker more expensive flooring while less expensive flooring can be use in low traffic areas. Also find out about the flooring's warranty; many laminates have warranties up to 10 years or even higher.  Wet areas need flooring that has been treated or prefinished to repeal water.

Laminate flooring is made of four layers compressed together; a back layer, core layer, decorative layer and wear layer. One popular wear layer consist of distressed wood which is purposely beat on, run over and poked with picks and awls to create an old world worn look. Cork tile with a core made from the bark of oak trees from Spain, Portugal and Tunisia is also popular. This type of flooring absorbs sounds and is naturally resistant to microbes and insects. Floating hardwood flooring rest on top of the sub floor but is not actually attached to it in any way. These floors made of particle board top with a wood veneer imitate wood floors so well you can't really tell the difference.

Installing laminate flooring is quite easy especially using laminate tiles with the padding already attached. You can find all kinds of laminates online at wholesale prices. Choose your laminate carefully taking all this into consideration and you will enjoy your floor for years to come.
