Laminate flooring looks great and is long lasting. It offers many advantages to homeowners. Furthermore, it is relatively inexpensive when compared to real hardwood flooring and very easy to install. This type of flooring is offered in a variety of wood patterns, as well as stone and ceramic effects. In many cases, this flooring is mistaken for real hardwood flooring. What looks like a stone pattern or wood grain is actually a very thin layer of paper that has been joined to the backing board. For increased durability, a protective film protects this decorative paper.
This type of flooring is actually a floating floor because installation is easy. This means the flooring is not directly fastened to the sub-floor. The planks can be installed with no mess by simply clicking together, allowing even beginner do-it-yourselfers to quickly fit. The planks are channel shape that makes the installation simple and engineered with a type of tongue. The planks allow for a tight connection between planks. You can walk over and use the floor immediately right after the installation, this is the major benefit of laminate flooring.
