Saying “I would” (or “I wood”) to laminate flooring can be really interesting!
Today, you can have your entire flooring done with a different material other than wood but still receive the wood’s look and feel on your floor. This is true if you choose to have laminate flooring. Usually, this resembles wood but it is in fact something different (not real wood) which is not only appealing to the eye but also adds to the stunning look of your home. Laminate floors are manufactured through a tedious process and can be made to resemble nearly anything that can catch the attention of the eye. They are made to look like actual wood or ceramic tile or even slate.
A good thing about this kind of floor is that they are not only easy to install but are also inexpensive, as well as hold up on the tear. They are moisture resistant and can be used in areas such as basement where other materials cannot hold up that well. The market is flooded with all kinds of flooring materials but in order for you to get value for your money when planning to install the laminate floors, then there are a few things you should keep in mind:
Top selling brands
The home improvement industry is filled with all kinds of brands. In fact there are a host of manufacturers with a vast collection of wonderful ranges and it might be daunting to determine who the winner is. You are compelled by your personal tastes, décor needs, budget and brand’s unique features. You might want some ranges installed in bathrooms, on stairs or even basement.
Sub floor surface
You can have laminate floor installed on nearly any sub-floor surface. In this case, linoleum, concrete and real wood can work perfectly. However, to do this, you can ask your supplier for more details.
Discount discontent
It is prudent for you to look for quality product at a good range. Also, avoid cheap laminates that have not passed all the tests. To know whether or not you are choosing a quality product, you should pick something that is backed up by a warranty. Also, this is a proof that the supplier has been in operation for sometime and will not disappear overnight.
Indispensable installation kit
All reputable suppliers will give this kit in order for you to save on time during the project. It would be disturbing when you leave the project to look for some extra tools at the stores. This kit has all the necessary tools and will make the project to run smoothly.
Warranty
A reputable company will always back their products by giving warranties which run for about thirty years after the installation. This is a proof that you are buying an upper class product. Some stores are more than willing to include lifetime coverage for their products and this can only be termed as a great deal. However, you are advised to read through the lines in the warranty to be sure of what you are about to do.
Glue grumbles
A good company will advise where glue should be used during the installation. Considering that glue affects the floor as it expands or contracts due to changes in humidity and temperatures, it is advisable to use glue on stairs and not other areas in the house.
