Why Choose Laminate Flooring?

I sold laminate flooring from the moment he was brought by Pergo (R) in the mid-1990s. Over the years, laminate flooring has evolved over the styles of beautiful woods of the design and reproduction of natural stone floors are in the shops and available on the internet. Why laminate? Hundreds of design choices in the style of wood and the look of natural stone. Wood Styles by all the beautiful exotic plants: Rosewood, Tigerwood, Brazilian Cherry, Santos Mahogany, Olive Tree, merbau, teak, wenge, bamboo. The popular traditional wood: red oak, white oak, maple, cherry, walnut, beech, maple, pine, walnut, birch. The appearance of natural stone, marble, granite, slate, travertine, soapstone, limestone. Laminate flooring can be installed anywhere in the house. In other glue or nails, wood, ceramic, tile, stone, vinyl. No more carpet or floating floor in place. It is extremely durable – resistant to abrasion and indentation: no heels, burns from cigarettes, lipstick, no problem. Easy to clean. Wipe the dirt with a cloth or a damp mop. There are many brands of laminate flooring cleaner brand in the market. All are good if they are marked for cleaning laminate flooring. Never more wax. Without ammonia, it becomes boring to the service. Not even with clean water. Prolonged use of the water on laminate can cause warping of the boards at the seams. Resistant to scratches and abrasions. In contrast to wood floors that scratch and scratch where dogs and children and executed sliding on the wood laminate flooring not. Laminate flooring is the healthy alternative. Non-allegenic and takes no odors. Resistant to fading – the decorator layer does not pass or change the color of sunlight. Sustainable value to 25 years structurial for the entire life span. This requires the use of adhesive for the installation of laminate flooring. The SnapLock or snap together system greatly simplifies the installation of two wooden planks and squares of tile. Some manufacturers of laminate flooring spoke recommend a bead of glue on the tongue and groove, when installed in wetlands. (Kitchen, bathroom, laundry). The manufacturers are now adding moisture resistant treatment added tongue and groove to protect against moisture. Why? Laninate floor is made of a plastic layer and top to bottom with a wooden sustance center. (undiluted) and compound is used together under extreme pressure, making a board, solid and durable. Because it contains a substance in wood, it is sensitive to moisture. Be purified water beneath the surface of the concrete and the top, the excess water. How to protect from moisture surplus laminate. After installing over concrete, a roll of 6 mil plastic is placed on the concrete. Above the plastic 8 cm is recommended. For added protection against moisture, overlaps with plastic shipping tape. Masking and duct tape are not recommended. Pergo (R) is recommended, with 6 million plastic 15 years ago to protect against moisture and still does. With a 2-in-1 or a 3-in-one subfloor may or may not be enough to hold moisture. I always recommend the installation of 6 million as part of the underbody plastic. Prevention is better than with the loop through the soil moisture. Always on the humidity, always with 1 / 4 “spacer between wall and laminate flooring. Again, like a wood product, it expands and contracts with moisture changes during the whole year. Allow a 1 / 4″ space results in May, when it expands, the partitioning of the board and pushed to the wall. Care and maintenance of laminate flooring is very simple. Use a laminate floor cleaner. Almost all laminate manufacturers have their own brand of laminate cleaner. When you buy an off-brand, make sure it is alleged the bottle for laminate flooring. Do not use excessive water and no cleaning on ammonia or vinegar. You will be the dull appearance of the veneer. Use a broom or look clean, non-abrasive cloth and your floor will be in 25 years! Time to relax and enjoy your new laminate flooring. A note from the editor, Alan. I have no bias to any manufacturer of laminate. I refer to Pergo (R), as they were the first manufacturer of laminate flooring in the United States. Alan Meier reason
