Unlike some wood floors, laminate floors react positively to wear and tear. Depending on the quality of laminate flooring you pick, you’re likely to get a floor that is highly resistant to mess, damage and constant foot traffic within your home.
The cores in laminate flooring are less reactive to humidity extremes than solid wood flooring. It’s not ideal for spaces where high moisture or increased humidity levels are consistently present. This type of flooring hasn’t been the most ideal for bathrooms or laundry rooms in the past. However, with improved waterproof technology, laminate flooring is now a more attractive option for those areas of the house than it was in the past.

Laminate flooring can go anywhere in your home. However, it’s most ideal for your living or dining room. It’s ideal for such areas where high foot traffic will occur. Ensure that you use protector pads for your furniture so that they don’t scuff the laminate floor surface. It’s also ideal for your den or office setup within your home. And, it can also complement the colors and design of your kitchen as well.
There are various surface types for laminate flooring that you can choose from as these types of floors constantly evolve in terms of design and look. You can opt for a textured finish or high, medium, and low-gloss finishes to give it a smooth look and feel. Alternatively, you can opt for hand-scraped laminate flooring that gives it a more antique look.
As mentioned, the better your warranty is, the more likely you are to get top-quality laminate flooring. Ensure that all plans for installation are covered in the warranty while also finding out how long you are covered regarding spills, wear and tear, and other potential damage that can happen to the laminate floor over time.
