Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring looks like a real wood or stone floor and it has the advantages of superior durability, being low maintenance, being cheaper to install than the "real thing" and can last a lot longer than natural floors. Most laminate floors also come with an excellent warranty. The wood or stone finish is created by taking a photograph of natural wood or stone. The laminate flooring itself is created by having an inner core surrounded by an outer layer of either wood or plastic veneer that simulates wood or stone.
Laminate flooring is affixed to the top of your existing floor and is available as planks, strips or tiles. The flooring has traditionally been glued to existing floors but the newer flooring systems can be pre-glued or even glueless, making installation a lot faster. The traditional laminate floors are glued in place according to the manufacturer's instructions. Pre-glued floors have planks that are wiped with water to activate the glue before the plank is set in place. Glueless floors are held in place by locking mechanisms or joints and are as secure as the glued forms of laminate flooring.
Once your laminate floor has been installed, there are some steps to undertake to ensure that it stays looking its best. Firstly, ensure that you follow all of the manufacturer's instructions and ask if there's anything you need to do after the floor has been installed. Never use a wet mop to clean laminate floors as water may seep through and cause damage. Vacuum and damp mop floors only. Don't use wax or other acrylic finishes on the floor as they may damage the surface. Also consider using protective pads underneath the feet of chairs and other furniture to avoid scratching the floors.
