Longboard Laminate Flooring: Consider Yourself a Fan
We don’t really pay flooring the attention it requires, until it requires it most. As the part of the home that gets all the pressure, and has a huge role in insulation (including that of sound), it sure shouldn’t come as an afterthought. Nowadays the flooring options are endless, but taking benefits into consideration, one particularly stands out: wide longboard laminate flooring. First and foremost, it’s the perfect option to achieve a luxurious look that wouldn’t break your bank like other options. Then again, it’s also the type of flooring that has true to life details, giving you the looks of hardwood flooring for considerably less money, with the same quality at that. Oak species and Australian species are often the inspiration for the creation of wide longboard laminate flooring.
The production of this flooring requires the use of a particular technique known as EIR (embossed in register) relying on embossing tool for pushing the paper surface, with the result of raised image for improved depth and texture. It’s this technique that enables the outcome of laminate flooring with realistic touch (e.g. naturally rustic look). Just because it’s affordable doesn’t mean it’s not as durable, in fact it’s got highly durable wear layer, it’s able to withstand the wear, pressure, and scratches from pets’ claws and toddlers’ dragging toys and chairs around, daily. Of course, the hardwood imitation isn’t the only look you can find, as there is laminate with the look of stone too, so you can count on versatility when choosing as there is a variety in colours, finishes, and thickness.
Since the boards are designed to interlock, the flooring is easy to install and makes for a great DIY project, saving you more money. This means they are perfect as added over many types of subfloors, even concrete, so you wouldn’t have to worry about installing them over your existing flooring – bound to save you time (and even more money!). A reason more it’s ideal is the fact it’s the best option for people with allergies due to the ingenious design that doesn’t make way for dust or moisture, so there’s no worry about mould either, or floor damages. Mind you though, as moisture resistant as it is, it’s still not waterproof, cleaning out spills as soon as possible is advisable. Other than that, you can count on easy cleaning, and removing stain in no time with the simple mixture of warm water and soap. Do you consider yourself a fan of laminate longboard flooring after knowing these benefits?
