3 People Who Benefit From Putting Laminate In Their Home

Posted on

Laminate flooring is a great option for many people. There are many advantages to installing laminate flooring in your home. You might be wondering if laminate flooring is the right choice for you. Here are some people who benefit from having laminate flooring in their home.

1. People Who Have High Traffic In Their Home

Laminate is known for its durability.  Laminate is scratch resistant as well as incredibly resistant to stains and spills. This means that people who have pets and young children might benefit from the laminate. The animal's claws won't scratch the flooring, and if there are accidents or spills on the ground, you don't have to worry about permanent damage.

In addition, the laminate is very easy to maintain. Unlike hardwood flooring, you don't have to use special cleaners to clean it. Instead, you can use most types of cleaners on the floor and still expect great results. This is why many people who have high traffic in their home with children, pets, and crowds, choose laminate.

2. Houses With Hard Subflooring

Another great benefit of laminate is that it can be put down on almost any type of subflooring. Conversely, if you have concrete subflooring, you cannot fasten wood to it. This means that there are very few options for you with flooring. Laminate on the other hand can be put down easily on just about any type of subflooring that you have.

Laminate is installed by putting down a vapor barrier. This barrier will help the laminate to stay strong and not slide. Luckily, this vapor barrier can be installed on almost any type of flooring. This is why many people choose laminate for their homes that have difficult subflooring.

3. Those Who Are On A Budget

Laminate is much more affordable than hardwood. This is because it is engineered so it can be made in a factory. The price per square foot of laminate is much cheaper than the price per square foot of hardwood. In addition, the upkeep of the laminate is much more reasonable. You don't need to sand or refinish it, like you would hardwood.

Just because you are buying laminate on a budget doesn't mean it can't look good. Laminate can have just about any pattern screened on it. So you can get the exact look of wood you want, just without the price.

These are just three types of people who benefit from using laminate in their homes. For more information, contact Plaza Ontario Marble & Tile Inc. or a similar company.
