Home builds and renovations can carry a hefty price tag, and unexpected expenses can add up quickly. One way to save money without cutting corners on quality is to use laminate flooring. In recent years, laminate flooring has made leaps and bounds in terms of quality and durability.

Laminate floors are an affordable flooring option that combines a layer of wood or particleboard with a visual layer and a protective transparent upper layer for durability. There are various types of laminate floors that mimic the look of more expensive flooring at a much more affordable rate.

1. Laminate Hardwood Flooring – The most well-known style of laminate is likely hardwood. Laminate hardwood includes popular woods like oak and walnut.
2. Laminate Tile Flooring – Laminate can also serve as an alternative to tile flooring. Homeowners can choose from natural tiled styles as well as patterned options.
3. High Gloss Laminate Flooring – High gloss laminate adds an extra layer of shine to keep your floors sparkling.
4. Waterproof Laminate Flooring – For extra durability, a waterproof laminate is an excellent choice.
5. Bamboo Laminate Flooring – Bamboo Laminate is an affordable alternative to hardwood that is easy to install and handles moisture exposure well.

How do you know which type of laminate flooring is right for your home? There are many options available when it comes to laminate floors. Luckily, laminate floors are highly customizable, allowing you to select the style with the features that best suit your needs.

When you select your laminate flooring, you’ll want to consider which room you’re using it in, what kind of foot traffic and wear and tear may occur there, and what type of look you’re trying to create. Focusing on these factors will help you narrow down style, color, and additional features like waterproofing and finish when making a selection.

Pros:

• Laminate flooring allows homeowners to create the look they’re after at an affordable price.
• Softer and more flexible than traditional hardwood or tile, laminate is often more comfortable to walk on.
• Installation for laminate flooring is comparatively more accessible and quicker to install than hardwood or tile.
• Customers can choose from a wide variety of styles, colors, and patterns.
• Low-cost and customizable features make laminate flooring an excellent option for homes with children and indoor pets.

Cons:

• Laminate flooring may not last as long as other types of flooring and could need replacing within ten years.
• Some types of laminate flooring are not waterproof. Laminate can also fade in direct sunlight.
• Installing laminate floors does not increase the overall value of your home like traditional hardwood does.

Laminate Flooring Installation

Laminate floors feature floating floor installation, meaning you don’t have to fix the panels to the subfloor. Similar to hardwood, laminate planks link together relatively simply, making laminate a do-it-yourself-friendly option.
