Laminate was invented by Swedish flooring materials developers looking to repurpose wood so it didn’t go to waste. The designers subjected the wood scraps to high heat and chemicals which fused them into panels. These panels could then be placed together to create flooring. The concept took off, and countless homes across the world have laminate wood flooring in various colors and styles.
A laminated floor can be made to look like traditional hardwood with the right texture and color options. It is popular because it is more affordable than hardwood and comes in a variety of colors. Laminate is also durable and scratch-resistant, so it’s more forgiving to wear and tear compared to wood flooring.
However, laminate flooring is sensitive to water, and the material can warp over time if you install it in a moist area. However, laminate manufacturers are working to address this. Many now sell bathroom flooring that resists water and performs similarly to tile or stone.
Laminate vs. Vinyl Flooring
As you explore types of flooring, you might come across vinyl as an opinion as well. Vinyl is made of synthetic material that is essentially durable plastic. It is more waterproof than laminate, which might make it a better option for bathroom or kitchen flooring. Vinyl flooring is also a favorite material of DIYers because they can peel and stick the flooring into place.
Compared to vinyl, laminate is considered higher quality, easier to walk on, and more durable. It is better for high-traffic areas of the home. If you want a long-term flooring solution that will protect your resale value, consider laminate.
Why Choose Laminate Flooring
There are several benefits of laminate flooring if you are considering this option for your home. Here are a few reasons you will love this material and will enjoy designing the rest of your space around these floors.
- Affordability: Laminate looks high quality at a fraction of the cost of hardwood flooring.
- Flexibility: Laminate comes in a variety of colors and textures to match a variety of design preferences.
- Durability: Laminate is ideal if for households with pets and kids that could scratch your floors.
- Low Maintenance: Laminate flooring is a low-maintenance surface.
- Easy installation: These floors pop into place, and in many cases, DIYers can install laminate flooring without professional help.
