| So why is laminate flooring so hot?
Because it looks great, it is
incredibly versatile and it is affordably priced! What is laminate?
A laminate is a high-density countertop type product made for the floor.
It is extremely durable and is built with a glue less tongue and groove
system.
Laminate Flooring Styles
Most laminate styles come with four or five different patterns on the
planks, after which the pattern then repeats itself. With this variation,
it creates a floor that has the look of real wood planks rather than
pictures. Technology has enabled manufacturers to reproduce the classic
look of natural wood.
Some laminate wood designs include:
Maple, Birch, Walnut, Mahogany, Cherry Wood, Beech,
Alder, Pak
Some manufacturers also offer realistic - looking , modular laminates with
natural stone or ceramic finishes.
Some natural stone finishes include:
Granite, Slate, Marble, Ceramic
One of the most attractive features of laminate flooring is how easy it
is to install. Almost anyone can do it. You can purchase it as a
do-it-yourself project or have it professionally installed by us. Laminate
floors are a floating floor, that is the floor is not attached to the sub
floor. It is tongue and groove construction without the the use of nails or
floor adhesives. One thing you will want to remember about installing a
laminate floor is that laminates are made with mostly wood-based cores,
which can expand and contract with changes in the humidity. For those of you
who want to install the floor yourself, we offer video instructions with the
purchase of any laminate floor from us.
