Laminate flooring has revolutionized the flooring industry. Wherever carpet once reigned, solid surface flooring is now king. With the look of real wood, laminate flooring has a price that fits reality of frugal living.
Installation
Several different installation types are available, but the do-it-yourselfer will usually opt for the interlocking system, which requires no glue or nails.
Durability
Laminate flooring is designed to resist high traffic, stains, scratches, dents and fading.
Warranty
Because of its durability, most manufacturers warrant laminate flooring for 10 to 25 years.
Preparation
Because it is a floating system, in most cases there is no need to remove the previous floor. If it is level, you can install the laminate flooring right on top.
Maintenance
The maintenance of laminate flooring couldn't be easier. No need to wax or polish, a dust mop is just about all you need. Carpet would need to be replaced and traditional hardwoods refinished several times in the years that laminate flooring will last.
Price
Compared to traditional wood flooring, laminate flooring is substantially cheaper.
