Benefits of Laminate Flooring

• Easier Transportation: laminate planks that simulate hardwood are sold in handy four foot strips, while hardwood planks tend to be twice as large or more.
• Quicker Installation: an entire room can usually be finished in a couple of days thanks to the easy and adhesive-free installation technique.
• More Versatile: laminate flooring is made to resemble dozens of different hardwoods for a natural look.
• Simpler Maintenance: the outer layer protects laminate flooring from stains and spills, so sweeping and vacuuming is all the regular upkeep required.
• Healthier Choice: mould and bacteria find it difficult to gain purchase in naturally resistant laminate floors, plus you can treat them with special anti-bacterial/allergen coatings.

Issues with Laminate Flooring

• Sound: walking on laminate floors can produce a hollow noise that makes the material sound manufactured - this can be mitigated by dampening underlay materials.
• Feel: laminate floors look like natural hardwood, but it doesn't stand up to the touch test. Embossed varieties have a simulated texture but still feel manufactured. It is also very hard underfoot and padding does not often reduce this sensation.
• Refinishing: unfortunately, you can't refinish a laminate floor: once the single wear layer is damaged, the individual piece needs replacement, and the entire floor will in the longer term.
• Lifespan: most laminate floors come with a warranty based on quality of material and density of wear layer: make sure to take precautions during installation to protect any warranties.
• Environmental Issues: some experts believe that laminate materials made with formaldehyde may release volatile chemicals over a long time-frame, which can have an effect on environmental air quality.
