Which floor coverings to choose, laminate flooring or other types?
August 12, 2010 – 6:27 pmI have bought a new house. And I need to get all the rooms installed with new floor covering. Can you let me know which floor covering is best, laminate flooring or other types?
First, laminate flooring can’t be installed the places such as bathroom and kitchen where there is much water. It is suitable to install ceramic tile and vinyl flooring in these places as both of them are water tolerant. Laminates can’t increase the value of your house, while hardwood flooring can make it. And hardwood type is expensive. Scratches are easy to appear on the surface of hardwood type. For hardwood type, these scratches can be sanded. Laminate flooring is cheap and easy to clean. On the contrary, it is a bit complicated to clean carpet. And it is also strong abrasion tolerant and is hard to be scratched. But the scratches on laminate can’t be removed once they appear on the planks. Laminate can’t be installed outdoor as it is not water tolerant. You can consider these factors when choosing laminate flooring and other types.
