Laminate is Durable & Easy to Maintain

Laminate is Eco-Friendly

• If you are environmentally conscious, it is hard to go wrong with laminate flooring. 
• One of the benefits of laminates which sometimes gets overlooked is how eco-friendly and green they can be.
• Many of them are made of recycled or sustainable materials and can eventually be recycled after use as well. 
• With laminate floors, you will not have to worry about chopping down old-growth trees for hardwood or filling a landfill with carpet.

Installing Your Laminate Flooring

Not only will you save money on materials with laminate, but you will save on installation as well! Your floor can be fully installed very quickly, minimizing the chaos of renovation and allowing you to get to the important part, enjoying your new space. Here’s a closer look at the process and where to install your floors.

 

How is Laminate Installed?

• Most laminate floors are installed using the click-lock method. 
• Laminate planks are often placed over the subfloor and they naturally expand and contract. This is called a floating floor. 
• Our expert team of installers will guide you through the best method of installation for your home. 
• Our installation team can install laminate in both your residential homes and vacation homes.

Where Can You Install Laminate Flooring?

• Laminate flooring is extremely versatile and can be installed practically anywhere in your home including bedrooms, offices, living rooms, and playrooms.
• It can even be installed in areas of the home where traditional hardwood cannot such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. 
• We do not recommend floating floors in rooms where cabinetry may be placed on top as this can cause problems when needing to remove or replace broken or damaged pieces.
