Laminate Flooring
Laminate flooring was first introduced in the US in 1982. Laminate has experienced annual growths of 20% yearly and is now the fastest growing floor type in the country. They have incredible durability and are now more aesthetically pleasing due to true representations of hardwood. Laminates are also more affordable than hardwood flooring which makes it more practical for people to purchase. The maintenance on laminate is also easier than the maintenance of a hardwood floor.
Laminate flooring will not stain, fade, or dent like natural hardwoods will. They are also far more scratch and water resistant. The cores of a laminate are made of mdf and are treated with water repellent chemicals. Laminates are able to resist swelling due to excessive moisture. Cores on a laminate range from 6mm to 12mm. Laminate flooring warranties range from 10 years to lifetime. Warranties usually cover the structure of the product and only cover topical water damage. Remember that not all laminate flooring is created equal. Just because an entry level laminate has the same core features as a higher end laminate means the entry level will last as long as the higher end laminate. Laminates with a thicker core will be more stable and when walked on will sound more like a real hardwood floor. Laminate flooring offers many looks of hardwood in domestic and exotic species, and also the look of tile and stone.
