Laminate Floors
Laminate floors are incredibly durable, easy to care for and come
in a wide variety of realitic stone and wood flooring designs.
If you love the look of real hardwood but are concerned with the
upkeep than laminate floors are the answer. If you are concerned
with tearing up old flooring or are budget-minded than laminate
flooring may be a great choice for you.
Laminate flooring manufacturers use sophisticated, computerized
technology to create realistic designs that are well protected
by a tough outer coating that is imprevious to most stains, spills,
burns and extremely scratch-resistant. These floors come in both
planks and tiles and can be floated over most substrates including
concrete slabs and existing floor coverings.
For the do-it-yourself homeowner most laminate floors have a specialized,
glueless, tongue and grooved locking system that makes installation
a snap! No messy glues to apply and easy to fix, in case you make
an error while installing.
Laminate
flooring textures offer the realism of hardwood graining and natural
tile etching. You can choose from natural colors, dark wood grains
as well as warm or cool color tones to compliment any room decor.
Many hardwood plank designs are offered, including rare, exotic
wood species. Stone and tile patterns will give you the elegant
look of tile, but without the concerns about grout cleaning or
cracking tile.
Laminate floors are never secured directly to the subfloor, instead
they are floated over the subfloor. This allows laminate flooring
to be used over a wide variety of subfloors, including wooden subfloors,
existing floors and even concrete slabs.
Laminate flooring comes in several different forms:
Glueless laminate flooring
No mess, glueless installation makes these floors quick and easy-to-install.
They come in a variety of ceramic and wood designs and colorations,
as well as some manufacturers offer a real, hardwood veneer instead
of a printed layer. These floors come in both planks and squares.
An thin, plastic underlayment is needed to seal out moisture
from below.
Laminate flooring with attached underlay
These floors come with several different types of tongue and grooved
locking systems and an attached underlayment to reduce noise
levels.
Glued laminate flooring
These are the orginal laminate floors that do require a special
formulated glue to be applied to the tongue and grooved areas
for each plank. Once the glue is dried the planks are almost
impossible to pull apart. These floors are offered in both planks
and squares.
Pre-glued laminate flooring
No mess, because the glue is already applied to the tongue and
grooves which makes these floors quick and easy-to-install. An
thin, plastic underlayment is needed to seal out moisture and
prevent the glue from sticking to the substrate. |
