Are You Considering Getting A Laminate Floor?
Laminate is a great option when you’re a fan of the hardwood look but want something that’s less expensive. But that’s not the only benefit of laminate. To make an informed decision, you’ll want to know all the advantages and disadvantages.
The Advantages Of Laminate Floors
Price: Laminate is less expensive than most flooring materials. It’s even less expensive than carpet and more than two times less expensive than any type of hardwood.
Durability: Laminate is durable. In many cases, you won’t have to replace your laminate floor for many years. This makes it a cost-effective choice.
Environmental friendly: Laminate is an eco-friendly choice. It has the look of wood but uses less raw materials. Laminate floors are also recyclable and have many other environmental friendly benefits.
Easy to clean: Laminate floors are easier to clean than other types of floors. You only need to vacuum and mop it from time to time. Waxing or polishing is not needed.
Stain and scratch-resistant: Laminate floors have a strong, durable layer of melamine plastic. This makes it resistant to stains, scratches and other types of damage.
Can hold a lot of weight: Laminate floors can hold over 1000 pounds of pressure per square inch. If you’re planning on placing a heavy object on your floor laminate is a great option.
Great if you have an allergy: Unlike carpets, laminate floors don’t hold any allergens. That’s why it’s a good option if you have asthma or an allergy. Because you can lock the planks it’s also hard for moisture to get through.
Sunlight resistant: Laminate floors are unaffected by sunlight.
A wide variety of choices: You can buy laminate floors in many different patterns that look just like real wood. Because of its distinctive look, you can use it for many different objectives.
The Disadvantages Of Laminate Floors
Let’s sound through: Laminate easily let’s sound through. Vibrations go through the floor and can be heard if there’s a person in the room below. A high quality padding is recommended to ease some of the noise passing through.
Not moisture resistant: Laminate is not a good option when the floor is prone to moisture. That’s why using it for your bathroom floor is not a good idea.
Not easy to repair: Laminate is a tough material that’s not easily damaged. But it can damage and once it’s damaged it can’t be repaired, unlike hardwood floors, that can be re-buffed or polished. Your best option is to fully replace a plank once it’s damaged.
It can become slippery: Laminate floors can become slippery when wet.
