Laminate Flooring
When you want the look of a hardwood floor for a fraction of the cost, laminate wood flooring is becoming the popular choice for homeowners. For a variety of reasons, the advantages of laminate over hardwood flooring have made its popularity soar in recent years.
The Look and Finish
Laminate flooring uses either an extremely thin layer of hardwood flooring, or a photographic appliqué of hardwood flooring. When viewing it, many cannot tell the difference between laminate and ¾ “ hardwood flooring. But the finish is where laminate has the distinct advantage.
Because the finish of laminate flooring is made in the factory, rather than on a job site, heat and pressure can be applied to the clear film finish. The result is a clear finish that far outlasts any finish applied to a hardwood floor. The laminate will hold up better to high traffic, stains, and wear and tear, keeping the shine for years.
Laminate provides the homeowner with a wide array of wood looks, from traditional Oak to exotic Bamboos and Rosewoods. All come in a variety of sheens, from high gloss to matte.
The Feel
Laminate flooring uses a softer, “floating” underlayment, the laminate will provide a gentle give to walking traffic, giving a softer feel than hardwood flooring or ceramic tile. In addition, the softer underlayment provides a certain measure of sound insulation, making it quieter when people walk through the room.
The Cost
Laminate wood flooring is a fraction of the cost of hardwood flooring, and can often be installed by the homeowner. Even with professional installation, the total cost of labor and materials for laminate is usually less than the cost of hardwood materials alone. Laminate begins at roughly $.75 per sq. ft., and as little as $1.99 per sq ft. installed.
A homeowner can install the flooring themselves with simple tools. Newer tongue and groove sections snap together. Because the finish is already applied, the homeowner need not worry about the fumes experienced with a new hardwood floor finish.
Moldings and Trim
If the homeowner desires to match the laminate wood flooring with baseboards or crown molding, most manufacturers carry the trim products needed. They will come with the same colorful and durable finish as the flooring. There is no need to worry about applying finish to the baseboards and hoping it will be consistent with the flooring, since they are applied at the factory.
