What are the benefits of Laminate Flooring?

Laminate flooring is generally the easiest flooring type to take care of, which makes it a popular choice. Regular sweeping and occasional mopping with approved cleaners is all the maintenance required with this type of flooring.

 

Other benefits include the versatility of laminate. Tile, wood, and stone cost at least a few dollars more per square foot than laminate, and often substantially more. And because the look of laminate comes from a photo pressed onto the flooring, options abound. For much less money, you can buy laminate floor to look like wood, stone, or tile.

 

Laminate flooring is also a very durable choice. Unlike tile or stone that can easily break when a dish is dropped on it or something hits it at the wrong angle, laminate is much more resistant to scratches, dents, dings, and moisture. This makes laminate a great choice for kitchens and bathrooms.

 

Another plus is that, if you’re handy, brave, or both, you can install it yourself in a fairly short amount of time.
