Moms love laminate floors.

It’s no wonder why many moms choose laminate flooring for the busiest rooms in their homes. Laminates are durable, stain proof, fairly easy to install, beautiful, and comfortable to walk on. Laminate flooring is fantastic for high-traffic areas like hallways, living rooms, offices, and game rooms. They make the job of being a mother so much easier.

How sustainable is sustainable?

Laminate flooring is made up of a combination of glued and pressed laminate layers that form a strong and durable flooring material. They look a lot like the laminate countertops you’d find in a kitchen.

If you did manage to scratch your laminate flooring, you will find that the staining of the floor extends throughout the entire laminate material. So it helps hide any accidents, plus laminate floors also have repair kits available to match colors if you want to fill in a deep scratch.

The impact resistance levels of a laminate floor will vary by brand and quality, but typically a laminate floor will withstand a pressure of at least 4,250 pounds per square inch. That’s hard!

They say that laminate floors are stain proof, and that’s a pretty accurate statement.

Laminate floors are resistant to most stain-causing chemicals and, in addition, their resistance to UV rays is also very high. That means you can install your laminate flooring in a room that gets direct sunlight and not have to worry too much about the sun fading the color of the floor. Remember that sunlight affects all materials over time, but with laminates it’s going to be a long, long time. In fact, the wear layer warranty for many laminate flooring is up to 20 years.

How easy is it to install the laminate?

Laminate flooring is easily installed over most common flooring substrates, including wood, vinyl, tile, and wood plank flooring.

As a floating floor system, laminate is not attached to the substrate. Planks or floor tiles are installed over a thin layer of foam laid on the floor. In some laminate floors, the boards are glued at the tongue and groove joints. While in others, it’s just a matter of snap and go.

The installation is complete when you install skirting boards to cover the gaps between the laminate flooring and the wall.

While this is definitely a home project, keep in mind that installing laminate flooring is easier and faster than traditional hardwood flooring.

The good news about installing laminate flooring is that it’s easier and the floor conforms to any unevenness in the subfloor. That is a big advantage compared to other floors.

Will mom like how her laminate floor looks?

Laminate flooring and tile are available in a variety of styles and colors to suit every mom’s personal taste. Laminate planks are designed to mimic the color and grain of various types of wood. You can find laminates that closely resemble oak, birch, walnut, mahogany, driftwood, etc. Laminate floors even resemble ceramic tile and stone with grout joints.

Laminate flooring may be the perfect flooring material for you. Installing a laminate floor is a great project for the do-it-yourself homeowner.

Moms everywhere find laminate flooring very comfortable to live in, while at the same time being elegant to look at.
