Wood floors look great, don’t they? So slick and clean… it is so much easier than carpet to maintain. However, it can be a bit high maintenance at times. When you have kids or animals, sometimes it’s hard to keep it looking nice. That’s when laminate floors might be your best option. Let’s look at some benefits to laminate flooring, and also learn more about floor underlayment. Price - With laminate floors, you get the sleek look of wood flooring, for 1/3 of the price. When considering the amount of space you want to re-floor, price can be a big factor. It will be so much easier on your conscience, and your wallet, to go with laminate floors. Durability - Wood floors have a lot of weaknesses, the biggest one being moisture. Real wood will crack, break, bend, and bow when it receives too much moisture or dryness. With laminate floors, that is no longer an issue. Laminate floors are much more durable when it comes to moisture. And when you have kids or animals spilling things all the time, it’s nice not to worry too much about the floor. Options - Sometimes when dealing with real wood, it can be difficult to find exactly what you want to work with because you have to go with what is available, and not what you want. When working with laminate, there are various colors, lengths, etc. so that it then becomes easy to find exactly what you want. Sound Suppression - The best thing about laminate floors is that you can put a sound underlayment underneath the flooring to decrease noise. Are you sick of hearing footsteps and creaks? Laminate flooring underlayment is the key. Not only does it decrease impact noise, it also decreases surrounding noises from the room. And the floor underlayment also further decreases moisture collection. Laminate floors are great for all kinds of spaces, especially with the right kind of underlayment to decrease noise. Talk to a flooring specialist to help find the best option for you.
