Thinking Laminate? Think Tile...
Laminate flooring in plank or tile form is now readily available and cost effective for most home owners. Like any flooring choice there are advantages and disadvantages in using this product. For the purists in our society, the fact that laminate flooring is fake--not the real thing-- may be a problem. It is a photographic representation of many woods, brick or stone types sandwiched between a very strong wear layer of aluminum oxide and a layer of MDF or manufactured wood. It looks remarkably like the real thing, so many people choose it as a way of having the look of wood or stone without the cost or difficult installation. Laminate flooring appeals to many because of its long wear life of from 15 to 20 years, versus 5 to 10 years for many vinyls and carpets.
The advantages of using laminate tile or planks attract many home owners. It is easy to install with few tools and a medium skill level. Because you are working with small units like tiles or 4 foot planks, you can make cutting mistakes without ruining the whole floor. It is advisable to purchase a little extra to allow for mistakes and waste. What is trimmed off one tile or plank can likely be used on another part of the floor. A home owner can install laminate tiles or planks in places that have a sub-floor not conducive to real wood flooring, ceramic tile or stone. Laminate floors can be installed over many kinds of old flooring like vinyl or wood because it is a floating floor. It can be installed over sub straits like wood, MDF or cement. With a little patience, most homeowners can install a laminate floor in a week end and have the look of real wood, brick or stone. Laminate floors are easy to maintain and very durable and water resistant.
Laminate tiles and planks come in click together or glued together types. The click together type is easier to install, but is more susceptible to water damage if water is left standing for periods of time. Glued laminate floors are more difficult to install, but are better for areas that may have water problems like bathrooms and kitchens. Because laminate floors are not the real item, some may object to using fake anything. The better quality laminate floors have surface texture added to make them look even more like the real thing. Even though most laminate floors have moisture barriers on the back, it can be damaged by standing water. Laminate floors don't last as long as the real thing. Another disadvantage of laminate flooring is that it can be scratched, but can not be sanded down to repair. If damage happens, the tile or plank affected will need to be replaced.
