Benefits of laminate wood flooring

Every house needs flooring and flooring serves many people. It should have a non-slip surface even when the floor is wet. It should be durable enough to withstand scratches, sunlight, minor accidents, wear and tear, termites and more. In addition, your flooring should be good-looking.

When you search for your ideal home flooring for your brand new and or re-modeled home, consider your priorities (and the people living with you) – cost, children, grandparents, domestic helper, tenant, safety and eco-friendliness. You want the people living with you to be safe and feel comfortable at all times.

Laminate Wood Flooring

Beautiful and timeless, laminate wood flooring (or laminate flooring) is a wonderful option for homeowners looking to spruce up their homes. Not only does it look good, but also improves your property’s value, appeal and character. And you do not have to worry about pests like termites burrowing underneath the floor.

Laminate wood flooring mimics the texture, grain and color of real woods, and comes in a variety of colors and at a relatively affordable cost. It is also less expensive to install than natural hardwood flooring. Laminate wood comes in strips or planks. They can be laid in any pattern; if you wish to achieve an elegant look for your home, you should discuss with both your flooring company and interior designer on how best to lay your flooring.

Although the price for both flooring and installation can be as low as $3.50 per square foot, you will find fewer wood flooring style and color choices among the least expensive range.

• Water-resistant and easy to clean

If you are thinking (and dreaming) of wood floors in the bathroom but having second thoughts about the cost and durability, fret not. Laminate flooring can withstand moisture from drippy wet towels – but you should always clean up large puddles to avoid letting water seep into the flooring. It is also resistant to stains like nail polish, makeup, paint and other solutions, thus making cleaning easy.

If you are a pet owner, laminate wood flooring is ideal as it is easy-to-clean and needs little maintenance to keep flooring in good condition.

• Sunlight and fading

If you have plenty of sunlight in your home, laminate wood flooring will not fade. Chances are, you will have sunlight in your home, since you are living in a tropical country. With laminate wood flooring, you do not have to worry about any change in colors with your flooring. Laminate wood flooring has UV protection integrated into the surface, thus it can be directly exposed to sunlight.

• Elderly-friendly

For households with seniors, laminate flooring is a good choice. The Floor Gallery also has a variety of laminate flooring with durable non-slip surfaces and care products for homeowners to choose from.
