Tips for Choosing YOUR Perfect Laminate Flooring:

• Select a flooring style that appeals to you and will fit your lifestyle. If you have kids, pets or lots of visitors, be careful on what you decide for your laminate flooring style. You may want to select Laminate Flooring with a varied grain pattern, a low-gloss finish or distressed or hand-scraped patina look, this will look much better than flooring with a glossy, monolithic grain pattern.
• Avoid Wide Planks unless your subfloor is pretty even. If you select a wider plank over an uneven floor, wider planks will be harder to snap together, end joints won’t stay flush with one another and there will be more gaps beneath the planks that you’ll feel when you walk across the floor. So if your concrete or wood subfloor is quite uneven, you’re better off selecting a narrower plank style. However, choosing a good flooring underlayment will help even out your uneven floor. Underlayment prevents the floor from clicking on the subfloor as you walk across it and makes it feel a bit softer. It also makes the planks easier to install because it evens out small inconsistencies in the subfloor.
• The most important thing to consider is what will the flooring look like in your home? Stop in and ask us about taking a sample home. Lay the sample on the floor to see what it will look like in your home. Doing this step will help you settle on the right flooring and knowing the right decision has been made.
