Over the years Professional Floors has earned itself a trusted reputation in laminate flooring in Adelaide. While laminate made a name for itself in the 1970s, it has come a long way since its introduction. These days, it is actually hard to tell if a floor is laminate or the real deal. Most likely, you have admired a floor without even realising it was actually laminate flooring. Not only has the appearance enhanced, but technology has allowed it to be more durable. If you are considering choosing laminate for your flooring, check out the advantages of this competitive flooring option.
Visual
Laminate flooring provides an unmatched realistic visual appearance. Thanks to advances in technology, laminate flooring can replicate naturally occurring wood patterns at a reduced cost than real wood floors. You can still enjoy the warmth and charm of traditional timber in a huge range of colours, patterns and finishes.
Value
If you are on a budget, laminate flooring can create the look you desire without breaking the budget. Owing to continually improving technology, you can inject style and elegance into your home at a reduced cost. A laminate floor will cost you half the price of a hardwood floor and is also a lot cheaper than carpet.
Easy to maintain
Laminate flooring is simple to clean and maintain. There is no need to mess around with waxing and polishing. All you need to do is sweep up dust and dirt with either a broom or a vacuum. Then when it comes to cleaning, use a damp mop or cloth to alleviate mess.
Simple installation
Installation time is fast and simple with laminate flooring. It can be laid straight over most hard surfaces in manageable planks, making installation a breeze. Rather than the floor needing to be nailed or glued down, the laminate simply snaps together and acts as a floating floor. Therefore, you can place it on any kind of subfloor surface including plywood, wood, vinyl flooring, concrete or tiles.
Durable
Laminate flooring is highly durable and works well in high traffic areas. Laminate flooring has a Melamine kitchen bench top coating which has up to 35 year warranty on coating. Furthermore, unlike wooden floors or carpeting that fades in the sunlight, you will not have this problem with laminate. The surface is also stain resistance and will not suffer from scratches and dents.
Style
With a huge variety of styles, sizes and finishes to choose from, laminate flooring ticks all the boxes for designers. Homeowners who require a certain look and feel will enjoy the options laminate flooring offers.
