5 Reasons You’ll Love Laminate Flooring in Your Home
With each kind of flooring comes its own set of advantages. And disadvantages as well. But at Dolphin, we prefer to focus on the pros more than the cons. And that’s why in this edition of the Dolphin Carpet & Tile flooring blog, we’re counting down the five reasons you’ll love laminate flooring in your home.
Laminate is a fantastic flooring that boasts several impressive benefits, including:
Laminate is low-maintenance
Laminate flooring is a relatively low-maintenance option, making it a popular choice for families with small children or pets. By broom sweeping daily, you can help ensure that your laminate looks excellent and ages well. It’s that simple.
Laminate is also scratch, stain, and fade resistant, thus minimizing the general upkeep commonly associated with other types of flooring. When you opt for laminate in your home, you’re getting flooring that will continue to look great without hours of labor being put into maintenance.
Laminate is durable
Laminate is a durable flooring option, especially for its price point. Over time, your laminate flooring may take on some scratches, but most contemporary laminate flooring has built-in scratch resistance, which mitigates the possibility of this occurring. And unlike carpet flooring or area rugs, laminate will not fall victim to stains.
Laminate flooring can last from 15-20 years if properly cared for by way of sweeping and other basic upkeep. On the whole, laminate is a durable flooring option.
Laminate is affordable
According to Thespruce.com, Laminate flooring can run anywhere from $1 to $5 for 7mm thick planks, making it a reasonably affordable flooring option, especially in comparison to hardwood or tile. When it comes to “bang for your buck,” laminate is an excellent flooring option.
Laminate is easy to install
Laminate flooring is relatively simple to install flooring. And while we recommend using professional installers, many homeowners do decide to install their own laminate flooring. Laminate utilizes a click-and-lock installation process and can even sometimes be installed over your existing flooring, thus eliminating the need to remove your previous floors.
Just because you can install your laminate flooring doesn’t necessarily mean that you should. That said, laminate is a flooring choice that offers DIY installation possibilities to homeowners.
Laminate is attractive
Last but certainly not least, laminate flooring is an attractive option for your home. Available in a wide range of colors, patterns, plank sizes, patterns, and overall designs, no matter what your existing design aesthetic is, a laminate flooring can match it.
