Posted February 25, 2016 by petermark

If you are contemplating installing a new floor in your living space, then there are several options for you. You have finally decided it’s time to give your floor a new look but the question remains: where do you start?

 
Floating floors are a great option that has seen a rise in their popularity in the recent past and getting one for your home will prove to be worth it. However, like every other new thing, there are a number of things you need to put into consideration when making the decision on laminate wood flooring. For it to be considered as a floating floor, it will not require any nailing or gluing to the sub floor as is common with other floor types. In other words, the term “floating floor” is in specific reference to the installation type that is required.
Whatever budget you have set aside for your flooring project, you need the assurance that once the purchase is complete, you are informed on the basic facts on your choice of flooring. It is beneficial both in the now as well as in the future to be informed on the specifics hence ensure that you read the manual and ask the vendor any questions in case the instructions are unclear. By so doing, your decision will create an environment that is inviting and warm as well as deliver on the expectations of the laminate floor: durability, excellence, and ease in maintenance.

Laminate timber flooring is stain resistant, remarkably robust, and requires no waxing or varnishing, making maintenance easy. They are the ideal floors for busy homes that have pets or kids. The floors come in rich ceramic looks, authentic wood visuals, or designs of natural stone. They have different textures on the surface that can be accommodated beautifully in any room. This can be attributed to the manufacturing process that is relatively uniform for all laminates hence whatever the color, type, or style, you will get a photographic decorative surface.

Laminates that are natural looking with greater screen numbers and which are more textured tend to be priced slightly higher than other types. Laminate floors that resemble exotic hardwood flooring also go for a slightly higher price. However, the advantage of these breed of high end laminate floors is that they are more durable and their warrantees have a longer duration in comparison to other laminates.
