No matter what style of property you own, finding the right flooring is key. The flooring you install will provide you with a foundation to build the rest of your interior design and it can make or break a space. In recent years, flooring trends have seen the return of a popular classic; hardwood floorboards. The history of solid wood flooring goes back for centuries and it offers a timeless classic look that is perfect for many properties.
However, hardwood flooring isn’t attainable for every budget as it can be incredibly expensive and the larger your house, the more hardwood you will need. Yet, you need not give up your preferred style because laminate flooring offers you a similar look at a fraction of the cost. You can’t go wrong with a high-quality laminate floor from LJV Carpets & Flooring. Many of our laminates have been specifically designed to mimic the appearance of hardwood flooring, though there are other options if you have something slightly quirky in mind.
Laminate is an excellent allrounder, offering many benefits that other flooring solutions can’t match. The best part is that once the laminate has been installed, it’s almost impossible to tell the difference between laminate and hardwood, so you can have your dream floor without the unaffordable price tag. Below we have explored some of the benefits of laminate flooring.
Budget-friendly
This is one of the main reasons why so many people turn to laminate flooring over other flooring materials. Typically, laminate is more affordable than hardwood, carpet and vinyl flooring, and it’s a budget-friendly option, regardless of how much floor space you need to cover.
Renovating a property can be incredibly expensive and although you won’t want to compromise on quality, you need to stay within your budget. Laminate flooring is constructed of multiple layers and it provides you with a hard-wearing floor at an affordable price. You won’t have to compromise on style, functionality or quality when you install laminate flooring.
Hard-wearing
Your flooring is an investment, so you’ll want to install something that will stand up to the wear and tear of everyday life. The flooring in a family home will often need to withstand muddy paws and stomping feet from young children, so you want something that will be scratch and mess resistant, like laminate flooring.
Laminate flooring is surprisingly more durable than most other types of timber floors because of its unique top coating. Whether your home sees a lot of foot traffic, excitable children or a variety of pets, laminate floor is resistant to it all. No matter how many years pass, laminate will continue to look as good as new. Not to mention, laminate flooring is also resistant to UV rays, so it won’t fade in the sunshine like natural timber.
Aesthetically pleasing
Much of the appeal of hardwood flooring is the natural, homely look. Hardwood has a smooth sophisticated style that stands the test of time, something that many homeowners want to recreate with their laminate flooring.
Fortunately, laminate is designed to mimic the appearance of natural timber and it’s difficult to tell the difference between hardwood and laminate once installed. The laminate flooring we offer at LJV Carpets & Flooring is almost indistinguishable from natural wood, right down to the texture. It truly is a stunning choice for your property.
