Hardwood or Laminates

Hardwood vs Laminate

 

Flooring sets the stage in any room. Two of the most commonly used flooring materials today are laminate flooring and hardwood flooring. Each particular type of material can work well for any homeowner. The ultimate choice of flooring will often depend on factors such as the number of people in the buyer's household, their budget and how much time they have to devote to cleaning each week.

 

 

The Advantages of Laminates

 

 

In recent years, a brand new kind of flooring material has been developed. This material is known as laminate. Using laminate floors in a home has many important advantages that homeowners may not be fully aware of when shopping for flooring materials. For one thing, installing laminate flooring is very easy. Many homeowners are delighted to discover that installing such flooring in their home is much easier than they might have anticipated and may be an easy do-it-yourself project. Laminate flooring is also very durable, making it an excellent choice in areas that tend to get a lot of traffic such as the foyer. Laminate flooring is also very easy to clean. The coating on the flooring makes it resistant to most stains. All the homeowner has to do in most cases is sweep and lightly vacuum.

 

 

The Advantages of Hardwood

 

 

Another popular flooring choice is that of traditional hardwood. Hardwood has been used for centuries across the globe as flooring material. Today's homeowner will find this particular material ideal for their needs. Hardwood flooring can be refinished. Should scratches develop in the wood, the homeowner can simply strip the coating from the wood, redo it and create an elegant floor again. Hardwood flooring is also pleasingly soft underfoot with a natural feel that can be like walking in the countryside. Hardwood flooring is also an eco-friendly and renewable material. Many kinds of hardwood flooring can be replanted again and again, allowing for multiple harvests of the same forest. Hardwood is a natural product that does not require the use of harmful chemicals when creating it. Moreover, hardwood flooring can be customized to the user's taste as it can easily be painted.
