Enhance Your Home Décor with Cost-Effective Laminate Flooring

Laminate plank flooring offers several unique benefits to homeowners. It comes in a wide variety of styles and textures that can mimic the appearance the hardwood, tile, stone, and other materials. Laminate flooring is also less expensive than many other types of flooring, and the tongue-in-groove assembly makes for easy DIY installation vs. paying a contractor. This ‘floating floor’ design allows for easy replacement of any damaged floorboards. That said, laminate floors are extremely durable and can hold up well to dents, scratches, fading, and stains.

Laminate flooring is also easy to maintain, as weekly vacuuming or sweeping will keep it looking great. For spills or a deeper cleaning you can use a laminate floor cleaner or a mild solution of vinegar and water. Water-resistant laminate flooring has a top surface that is resistant to water. It can withstand spills, but they should be wiped away quickly, and cleaning should be done with a damp vs. saturated floor mop. Waterproof laminate flooring has far greater water and moisture resistance and is ideal for use in bathrooms.
