Discover The Beauty Of Laminate Flooring
By John Erickson
Laminate flooring has become a popular choice for home owners for good reason. An inexpensive choice compared to natural wood or stone, laminate floors are just as beautiful. In a variety of colors, shades, and choices, laminate floors are the perfect choice for almost every room in your home.
Laminate Flooring – Colors of Wood
Light, medium, or dark – there are many choices. Light “woods” in laminate floors are available in finishes that look like maple, walnut, natural pecan, beech wood, and bamboo. Medium tones of “wood” include finishes such as antique hickory, natural Brazilian cherry, chestnut, hickory, honey oak, and more. Dark tones of laminate “wood” floors include coconut, mahogany, teak and a variety of others. Laminate wood floors can even be purchased in finishes that look like expensive, exotic woods.
Laminate Flooring – Choices in Stone
Natural stone floors can be very pricey. The look of natural stone can add a touch of beauty to a variety of contemporary décor choices. Fortunately, with laminate stone you can still have the look and the beauty, but not the expensive price tag. Many manufactures of laminate floors offer choices in a natural stone look. Color choices are plenty in laminate stone. From light colors such as sand to dark colors which incorporate silvers and blacks, the possibilities are nearly endless.
Easy Maintenance and Durability
The low maintenance aspect of owning laminate floors is a thing of beauty all on its own. Built to last and extremely durable, laminate floors are so easy to care for that you will wonder why you did not get them sooner. You should follow the guidelines set forth from the manufacturer, but typically for care all that is needed is regular sweeping to remove dirt and dust and a damp mop using just warm water. Harsh chemicals, fumes, messy floor wax and oily solutions are a thing of the past when you invest in laminate floors. Laminate flooring is so much easier to clean than carpet and you never have to deal with scrubbing and sealing grout in the future.
Laminate floors are extremely durable and are a definite plus when you have children or pets. Children can run across the laminate floors and there is hardly a need to worry about scratching or damaging the surface. As long as shoes are wiped on a mat at the door, wearing shoes should not pose a problem for your laminate wood or laminate stone. These floors are usually backed by a manufacturer’s warranty for several years to come.
If you are upgrading your floor coverings to laminate floors in hopes of getting a better price on the sale of your home, you will not be disappointed. Potential home buyers will take notice of the beauty of the laminate floors you installed in your home. Good quality laminate floors can increase the value of your home, so for a fast and easy upgrade that is less expensive than natural wood or stone, laminate flooring is an excellent choice.
