      •Place mats in front of sinks, stoves, and all doors leading outside.

      •Place area rugs in high traffic areas.

      •Place felt protector pads under furniture feet.

Laminate installation

benefits and advantages of laminate

laminate

1. Laminate Flooring Provides Subfloor Adaptability

Laminate floors also known as "floating floors" are known for their adaptability to a variety of subfloor types. Ranging from concrete to a new wood subfloor, to an existing ceramic or vinyl subfloor. As long as the subfloor is level, clean, and dry laminate floors can be easily installed over it.

2. Laminate Flooring is Extremely Durable

Laminate flooring is manufactured by bonding four distinct layers together. The surface layer is made of several coats of melamine, an extremely tough resin-based coating. this layer makes laminate flooring highly resistant to burns, dents, scratches, stains, all but the most extreme of impacts. Which makes it virtually resistant to kids, cats, dogs, even high heels.

3. Laminate Floors are Stain, Fade, and Moisture Resistant

The melamine external layer makes laminate resistant to stains and water, as long as spills are wiped up quickly. Laminate will not fade in direct sunlight or any source of artificial light. Most laminate manufacturers back this with a 15 - 30 year warranty, depending on the brand and model.

4. Laminate Floors Offers A Range of Style

Modern laminate flooring is available in hardwood, stone tile, and ceramic tile designs. While laminate flooring simulates the authentic look of hardwood or stone, the new styles and colors offer immense possibilities. The variety of patterns and color tones enable you to match your floor with the exact style and mood of your home or office. Whether your going for cool and contemporary or rich and elegant, you'll be pleasantly surprised by the realism and quality of modern laminate floors.

5. Laminate is Easy to Clean and Maintain

Laminate's exceptional stain and moisture resistant exterior coating makes cleaning up spills and other messes effortless. All you need for everyday cleaning of laminate flooring is a broom, vacuum cleaner (without a beater bar), a dry mop, and a damp cloth. Also laminate doesn't require any waxes or varnishes to keep it looking great.

6. Laminate Flooring is Environmentally Friendly

Laminate floors are inherently green. Laminate is make from wood, wood by-products, and natural resources like wood chip fiberboard, so it does not involve harvesting rare or endangered trees. Most laminate floors do not require any special glues or adhesives during installation, so it eliminates VOC's. Also there are no special cleaners needed for proper cleaning and maintance, which improves air quality.
