Laminate Installation

The Beautiful Alternative

Love the look and feel of expensive flooring, but not so enthused about writing a huge check for it? Laminate is a master of disguises, offering you the look of hardwoods, stone, or tile, for a lot less money.

Laminate is Manufactured for Durability

Properly-installed, quality laminate:

• Resists stains, scratches, smudges, and dents
• Holds its color, even under heavy use and sunlight
• Cleans up easily with just a broom and a slightly damp microfiber mop

An Excellent Choice When You Have Kids with Allergies

Any hard floor benefits allergy sufferers, because pollens and dusts can be easily removed from the house. But, when you have kids, and they have allergies, and you don’t want to live in a house that looks like an industrial complex — laminate is a win-win. You can have a stylish floors, fewer sneezes, and you won’t have to dip into the college funds to get there.

What Underlays is All, Depends

Because laminate is a floating floor, it’s more forgiving of imperfections in subfloors than some other choices, but it’s still important to work with a professional contractor who understands how to build for the most livable results. Skimping on underlayment where it’s needed can result in a laminate floor that feels and sounds hollow. On the other hand, using underlayment where it’s not recommended will create a mushy, artificial feeling. If your laminate will be laid over concrete, a vapor or moisture barrier is essential.

For Maximum Comfort, Just Add Heat

A radiant heat system — either electric or hydronic (hot water) — can be installed under laminate to warm the floor. This will not only allow you to walk barefoot comfortably, it will help keep entryways dry and reduce the amount of space heating required in cold rooms.
