If you’ve ever had carpet or vinyl flooring, you’ve probably had your fair share of stains, spills, and rips that no matter what you do, you won’t be able to completely remove them. Or maybe the family pet has scratched the edge of the rug, or worse, had a bathroom mishap in the kids’ favorite play area?

Your floor nightmares can finally end! Laminate flooring was designed to withstand the rigors and demands of a busy family home, and when compared to other types of flooring solutions, it easily outperforms in almost every category. Here are our top reasons to select laminate flooring for a single family home:

Laminate flooring is durable

Engineered with a tough, durable coating, it is far stronger than most installed hardwood, vinyl and carpet flooring. It resists dents and scratches much better than the smoother surface of solid wood flooring, and is a much better surface to install if you have a lot of foot traffic, children, or pets. Best of all, it still looks like new even after years of wear and tear.

Stain, fade and moisture resistant.

Most laminate flooring manufacturers offer triple warranty protection against stains, fading, and moisture damage for 25 years. By contrast, solid wood floors are susceptible to staining from the wood grain, fade with repeated exposure to sunlight, and are not a suitable floor for areas with high levels of humidity.

Laminate flooring is easy to install

Popular quality laminate flooring brands have gravitated toward a glue-free, floating floor installation process. These floors simply need to be cut to size, assembled, and immediately ready to walk on or place your furniture on. Most weekend DIYers can handle this installation, but expect it to take 2-3 times as long as a professional installer.

Laminate flooring is easy to clean and maintain.

Spills and messes clean up easily with a little soap and water thanks to the moisture and wear resistant surface coating. No residual stains or clutter will be left behind, and your laminate floors will still look as good as new. No more tired, dilapidated floors!

Laminate floors are a healthy flooring option

With regular cleaning cycles, laminate flooring can provide a much cleaner and healthier living environment compared to carpet. Less dust, pet dander, allergens and dust mites accumulate on the surface, and the laminate surface won’t hold residual stain contaminants like carpet will. Allergists will often recommend that their patients remove carpeting from the living room.

Laminate flooring is cheap

Once you consider the costs of alternative flooring solutions over the typical life of a laminate floor, it becomes an extremely inexpensive solution. Carpet will require 2-3 replacements during this time, hardwood flooring will require refinishing 4-5 times, and vinyl will need to be replaced at least two or more depending on traffic loads.

A carefree, family-focused floor area

Children can play with it, the dog can run around with muddy paws, neighbor friends can visit with wet shoes and the baby bottle spills on the floor… no longer a problem! Laminate flooring is the perfect flooring for busy families and growing homes.
