How Does Laminate Flooring Compare to Hardwood?

 

For those who love natural hardwood but would prefer to avoid the hefty investment and upkeep, laminate flooring is a terrific alternative.

In some cases, it’s even superior to its natural counterparts. With its sturdy, synthetic composition, laminate doesn’t rely on natural resources, so it’s considered sustainable. It’s built to endure heavy usage. With its protective top layer, laminate flooring simply wipes clean.

Since it’s constructed in layers, laminate boasts added stability and unlike actual hardwood, laminate flooring won’t show its age as the years go by. In fact, a quality laminate floor can easily outlive a floor made using natural hardwood.

 

Is Laminate Flooring Waterproof?

 

All laminate flooring is moisture resistant, and a select few options are 100% waterproof. Made to go anywhere, waterproof laminate flooring can be customized to fit all your favorite spaces. Waterproof laminate flooring can be installed in spaces where natural hardwood or stone simply isn’t compatible:

 

Plan Your Laminate Flooring Installation

 

You’ve found the perfect laminate flooring: now you’re ready to install it.

We have great news for you: laminate flooring has several methods of installation. Many of them are extremely user-friendly. Your laminate flooring can be glued or nailed to your subfloor, like traditional hardwood.

An even simpler method compatible with certain laminate floors is the floating method. With a floating installation, your laminate planks or tiles will simply click together over your subfloor: no adhesive is required.

Regardless of how you install, it’s important to plan ahead: your new laminate will need time to “settle in,” both prior to installation and immediately following installation.

 

How Often Does Laminate Need Replacing?

 

Well, it depends on how well you take care of it. If properly cared for, your new laminate floor can last for decades. That means being careful to avoid scratching your new floor. Be sure to discuss your lifestyle with us before making your final selection.

Take care to clean your laminate floor properly, avoiding products like “Mop & Glow” or steam mops. A spray and wipe cleaner will ensure no residue seeks into seams.
