The 5 Benefits of Laminate Flooring

When choosing your home’s flooring, you have a wide array of options, such as hardwood flooring, tile, carpet, vinyl and other flooring types. All of them are very good choices and can benefit your home. However, there is one more flooring option that you should be considering, and that’s laminate flooring.

In this post, Handyman Connection® of Boise discusses the clear advantages that laminate flooring can bring to your home.

1. Easy Maintenance – When it comes to maintenance concerns, laminate flooring is one of the most user-friendly choices you can pick for your home. This manufactured flooring can resist common wear and tear from a lot of foot traffic, making it a durable flooring option.

2. Moisture Resistant – Laminate flooring is moisture resistant, making it the ideal choice for any areas that see high levels of moisture like the basement or kitchen.

3. Easy Installation – Installation-wise, laminate flooring is another ideal choice if you want to go the easy route. The tongue-and-groove edges make it easy to glue or snap together for installation. In fact, you can install it yourself and can get it done in one weekend. However, it’s still best to hire professionals to do the installation for you.

4. Cleaning – Laminate flooring is also one of the easiest flooring options to clean, especially if you have a busy lifestyle. You can simply use a vacuum or broom to sweep up any dirt and a mop to make things cleaner. You don’t even have to use a floor wax to make it shine.

5. Appearance – This type of flooring is also a good choice for those who would like to have something that mimics other flooring materials, but don’t have the time for the maintenance. Laminate flooring faithfully reproduces the look of wood, stone or other materials. It doesn’t come with defects, unlike real hardwood, which can come with imperfect pieces that have to be discarded.
