This dense, sturdy synthetic brings endless options: even for the bathroom and kitchen. At Carpeteria Carpet One Floor & Home with two incredible locations in San Diego, California, you’ll find laminate flooring for every room. Let’s delve further into this eternal flooring favorite.

 

What is Laminate Flooring?

Laminate flooring is a manufactured flooring option, made of multiple layers of composite wood. These layers are essential to the design and function of laminate. These layers include:
 

• Core and base layers: These layers provide stability and moisture resistance to the plank.
• Decorative layer: this layer uses an ultra-realistic image or real wood to give the floors their natural appearance.
• Protective layer: This layer protects against scratches, stains, and dents.

 

Laminate vs Hardwood

Laminate flooring looks and feels exactly like hardwood. Laminate flooring is designed to perfectly replicate luxurious hardwood. While these flooring families look and feel alike, they are quite distinctive. Laminate flooring is manufactured rather than milled, with dense layers to cushion your feet. Its surface consists of a digitally enhanced image and a clear, protective topcoat. With these added reinforcements, laminate floors have advantages over traditional hardwood. They don’t have to be polished or refinished, nor will common household accidents bother them.

 

Why Choose Laminate Flooring?

• Durable
• Cost-effective
• Large selection of styles
• Water-resistant
• Scratch resistant
• Low maintenance

 

Is Laminate Flooring Waterproof?

Laminate flooring can hold its own against reasonable levels of moisture, but the bulk of options aren’t fully waterproof. Most of the time, standard laminate flooring is sturdy enough for everyday living. Just make sure that any stray splashes aren’t left too long to linger.

 

For areas where 100% protection is necessary choose a waterproof laminate floor. These specialty products are denser, heavier, and more bomb proof. They can even be used in finished basements or anywhere prone to constant spills. Our exclusive Mirror Lake Performance Flooring line is designed for large families, pet lovers, and the constantly busy.

 

Is Laminate Flooring Easy to Install?

Yes, laminate flooring is very efficient to install. Most installation methods involve, clicking and locking your laminate in place. Seriously, it’s that simple! You won’t need hammers, nails, adhesives, or other annoying tools to accomplish your goals.

 

Should I DIY Laminate Flooring Installation?

Despite its easy installation prospects, we still recommend a professional laminate flooring installation. That’s become laminate floors need a spotless, leveled subfloor for best results. Often, a professional installation is a condition of warranty coverage. Our friendly flooring experts will happily educate you on your installation options.
