If you did actually manage to scratch your laminate flooring, you would find that the coloring of the floor goes throughout the laminate material. So, it helps to hide any accidents, plus laminate floors also have repair kits available to match the colors if you want to fill in a deep scratch.

Laminate floors resist most stain causing chemicals and in addition, their UV resistance is also very high. That means that you can install your laminate flooring in a room that gets direct sunlight and not have to worry too much about the sun fading the floor's coloring.

How easy is laminate to install?

Laminate flooring installs easily over most common flooring substrates, including wood, vinyl, tile and wood strip floors.

The installation is completed when you install base boards to cover the gaps between the laminate floor and the wall.

Laminated vs Engineered Flooring Epping - Which Is the Real Thing?

In discussions about laminated vs Engineered Flooring Epping some might like to put engineered hardwood in the laminate flooring category. Some might suggest engineered is just an inferior version of solid strip hardwood flooring. But in reality it is neither. In fact, the original engineered hardwood floor was a sophisticated answer for difficult installation environments, environments where solid wood could not be used.

It was designed for the wood snob, those that enjoyed fine wine and had an Audi parked in the driveway, clients that owned high rise condominiums in exotic locations. They decorated with silk Venetian blinds, and cultured marble fixtures. For their floors they were looking for real wood with all its subtleties of colour and richness of grain. These clients wanted the Real Thing but couldn't install it!

Laminate flooring is made by taking a picture of a real wood and reproducing it photographically on the surface of plywood. It offers some great features (and some poor ones) but it's not the real thing, any more that U-brew can equate to a find bottle of Australian Shiraz.

So engineered hardwood flooring came to be! Wood techies took a slice of real wood, whether that be a traditional American red oak or an exotic wood like Brazilian cherry and found a way to adhere it to a wood underlay. But why would you bother? Why couldn't these clients just use regular strip hardwood flooring?

The answer is easy. Condominium dwellers have cement floors, likewise for those sophisticated builders that install in-floor heating systems on poured cement foundations. Engineered floors offered a solution. They are designed for glue down or floating applications so that clients get a real wood floor with a design that fits their installation needs.

So sure you can put in laminate flooring but that's not the real thing! Engineered hardwood flooring is a solution that allows you to install real wood in areas where solid strip hardwood is not suitable. So in a comparison of laminated vs engineered floor, these are two different products like buying ceramic tile versus real marble slabs. Your choice!

Tips For Installing Engineered Flooring Craigieburn

You've spent weeks researching the best engineered flooring. You've spoken with flooring professionals. You've gone to the showroom, compared styles and colors, made a decision and purchased the floor. Now all that's left is the installation process. If you have experience installing hardwood floors and are planning on tackling the project yourself, make sure you have the right tools and know-how. The following are a few important tips for installing engineered flooring.

Note - The following tips are only meant to be supplemental to the original manufacturer's installation instructions.

Inspect the Wood

Installing defective material is a sure-fire way to immediately ruin a floor, not to mention voiding your warranty. Check all the materials before beginning the project, just to be safe.

Gather the Tools

You'll need a number of important tools such as blue tape; a broom; chalk line; powernailer; pry bar; square; table saw; tape measure; towels; hardwood cleaner; hand saw; flooring nails; trowel.

Control Temperature and Humidity

Fluctuating temperatures and humidity levels can wreak havoc on engineered flooring. Protect your hardwood by making sure the enclosed area has been brought to the temperature and humidity that it will be kept at once installed.

Install Carefully

Making sure you install the floor right the first time is key, especially when laying nail-down or glue-down flooring. It's a good idea to snap together a working line parallel to a reference wall so you can see if your measurements and installation technique are correct. If you have any problem during the installation process, immediately stop working and call a professional.

Keep Up With Maintenance

Keeping your floors well-maintained is the best way to keep them looking good. Sweep often, use appropriate hardwood cleaner, place mats at entrance points and keep pets' nails clipped. If well-maintained, hardwood floors can last for years.

Benefits of bamboo flooring Melbourne

Bamboo flooring is a growing and popular trend. Bamboo is actually a grass, not a wood, and it's a popular alternative to hardwood or wood laminate floors. Why choose bamboo, and what are the benefits of bamboo flooring Melbourne? With bamboo, for the most part, a homeowner can get just as beautiful of a look, plus easier installation, lower cost for materials, and environmentally-friendly benefits.

First, bamboo is known for it's strength and durability, allowing it to support many times it's weight. It is stronger than many hardwood floors. It is nearly unbreakable, and buyers are often able to get a 25-year warranty on a bamboo floor. Plus, because it's a plant, it is resistant to moisture and is less likely to develop water stains from spills.

Bamboo is relatively easy to install; it can be glued, nailed, or left as a so-called "floating floor." It doesn't require the same cutting tools as harder woods like oak and mahogany; mostly hand tools.

Maintenance and cleaning of a bamboo floor is pretty simple. Particles of dirt and grit can scratch the bamboo finish, so they need to be swept with a soft broom or dust mop.

A great benefit of bamboo flooring is that it can be half the cost of traditional hardwood floors, depending on the grade, finish, and the processing applied.

Bamboo floors have a natural beauty and durability. Unlike laminate, bamboo is a completely natural material. It's an eco-friendly, sustainable resource. Despite its potential vulnerability to high-heeled shoes, bamboo is still more durable than pine and many vinyl floors. Ask for flooring samples to take home, and subject them to your own tests against scratches and dents. Bamboo flooring is available in a wide variety of finishes and colors, easy to install, and easily cleaned and maintained. It's advised for the consumer to do their homework and choose their manufacturer carefully, to avoid the allergy and durability concerns with certain manufacturers.
