Laminate Flooring Unveiled:
Debunking 5 Common Misconceptions
Laminate flooring is a popular choice for homeowners due to its affordability, durability, and wide variety of styles. But with so many options available, there can also be a lot of misconceptions. Here at Dynamic Flooring Contractors, Miami's leader in flooring sales and installation (including top brands!), we're here to bust some of the most common myths about laminate flooring:
Myth #1: Laminate Flooring Looks Cheap
Parkay - Textures - Hickory
Busted! Gone are the days of laminate's plastic-y look. Today's high-quality laminates boast realistic wood-look planks that are virtually indistinguishable from real hardwood, complete with stunning textures and grains. They also come in tile and stone patterns for a truly versatile selection.
Myth #2: Laminate Flooring is Not Durable
Kronoswiss Origin Aquastop – Forest
Busted! Modern laminate flooring is tough enough to withstand everyday wear and tear, making it a great choice for high-traffic areas. Look for laminate with a high AC rating (Abrasion Class) for maximum durability. With proper care and maintenance, your laminate floors can last for many years.
Myth #3: Laminate Flooring is Difficult to Install
Parkay Forest WR - Ash Acacia
Busted! Many laminate flooring options feature a user-friendly click-lock installation system that allows for quick and easy assembly, even for DIY enthusiasts. Of course, if you prefer professional installation, our experts at Dynamic Flooring Contractors are here to help!
Myth #4: Laminate Flooring is Not Water-Resistant
Kronoswiss - Authentic Aquastop - Natural
Busted! While not entirely waterproof, laminate flooring has come a long way in terms of moisture resistance. High-quality laminates can withstand spills and splashes without warping, making them suitable for kitchens and bathrooms (except for very wet areas).
Myth #5: Laminate Flooring Requires Special Cleaning
Parkay Mercury WPL – Orbit Oak
Busted! Laminate flooring is known for being easy to clean. Regular sweeping or vacuuming with a soft brush attachment and occasional damp mopping with a laminate floor cleaner is all you need to keep your floors looking their best.
