How To Choose Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring is popular as an alternative to solid wood flooring because it is less expensive, anti-scratch and requires less maintenance. Before buying laminate flooring, you might want to know some tips to choose the right laminate flooring.

Tips to choose laminate flooring:

• How big is the room? Knowing the size of the room may help you to plan how much flooring you need.
• What is your budget? Consider how much do you want to spend on laminate flooring.
• Where do you want to install the laminate flooring? If your laminate flooring is intended for commercial or heavy residential use, High Pressure Laminate Flooring may be a better choice since it is more impact- and scratch-resistant.
• Consider laminate flooring with low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds). Formaldehyde compound found in laminate flooring emits VOC, which can be harmful to your health. Therefore choosing eco-friendly laminate flooring, which is made with formaldehyde-free or low formaldehyde binders is a wise choice.
• Choose the pattern and color that will work for your room.
• Ask samples from retailers and view the samples in different light setiings of the room.
