Choosing Laminate Hardwood Flooring

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Ginger Jackson

The right laminate hardwood flooring is easy to find if you know what you are looking for when you shop. You can do research on your own, or you can ask a professional flooring contractor to help you make the choice. It all comes down to knowing what you want in a floor. Once you know that, you can match your needs to the types of laminates that are available.

Thickness

The thickness of the laminate hardwood flooring cores range from 6mm to 12mm. There are several differences in the way these various thicknesses react. For instance, a thicker floor will sound more like a solid hardwood when you step on it. A thicker floor will be more resistant to water as well. Finally, a floor that is thicker will be more durable in the long run. It is a good choice for bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways.

Paraffin Coating on Joints

All laminate hardwood flooring is fairly resistant to water. Other than getting laminate with a thicker core, there is something else you can do to improve the water resistance. Some companies make laminates with paraffin coating on the joints. This seals the edges of the boards so that water does not seep in between the boards and cause them to rot and mildew.

Insulated Backing

If you have a cold room, especially if you are laying the laminate hardwood flooring over concrete, you probably need some kind of insulation. Some laminates come with the insulation already attached. This makes the installation a bit more difficult, but an expert flooring contractor can do the job with no problems. Some people prefer to put down separate insulation with the underlayment. That is a choice you have to make when making your purchase.

Wood Grain

Laminate hardwood flooring comes in every different type of wood species and wood grain look. This is because the look of the wood is engineered and does not come from real planks of wood at all. The good news is that laminates are plentiful and the variety covers a wide range of choices to fit any decorating scheme.

Color

Color is another consideration when buying laminate floors. There are dark and light wood looks. There are rich and pale wood looks. There are colors that lean more towards brown, red, yellow or green. It is important to make a choice you can live with as long as you keep the flooring in place.

Price

The price is an important factor for most people. While you do not want to get ripped off by paying more than the laminate wood flooring is worth, you also do not want to buy cheap junk just because it costs very little. The best option is to strike a happy medium and get a reasonably priced, quality laminate floor.

Warranty

The warranty will tell you something about how long the manufacturer expects the floor to last. Choose a laminate with a warranty of a time that is as close to the length of time you want to keep the floor as possible. With proper professional installation, the laminate hardwood flooring should hold up to last through its full warranty period.
