Let us at Carolina Flooring help you by pointing out some quick and easy ways to keep your floors looking amazing.
About Laminate Flooring
Like we mentioned before, laminate flooring has become a very popular choice among home and business owners over the years. The reasons why are vast but some of the top reasons are because it has a nice price point. Laminate flooring can easily liven up any space as well as be a decor dream. When it comes to laminate flooring, the sky can be the limit on options. There are products that can mimic hardwoods of all kinds and for a fraction of the price. Also, there is laminate flooring out there that can mimic hardwood that wouldn’t be suitable for flooring. There are wood types that are too soft to stand up to our everyday wear and tear. However, with laminate, you can use any type of wood that you choose. Each plank is coated with a chemical that keeps it tough for years.
Problem Solving with Laminate Flooring
Even though laminate flooring can be quite easy to install and care for, like anything, there can be a few snags along the way. However, there is always a solution!
The first thing to know about laminate flooring is up-keep. You should always have the correct cleaning products in order not to damage or wear away any of the protective layers that keep the floors sturdy. We at Carolina Flooring have an extensive knowledge of cleaning products for all of our flooring options and we can help you find the right system to keep your floors clean and healthy.
However, sometimes accidents do happen and your floors become damaged. This can happen in a multitude of ways, but there is always a way to fix it. The first thing to do is have a look at the damage. Can part of the board be replaced or does the whole plank need to come out? Next, see which boards connect to it. Did they snap in or were they glued in? Obviously snapped in boards will be easier to remove, but sometimes it’s just easier to cut the damaged part away. Be sure to ask for professional help if needed. While it may be inconvenient to have to repair planks, just remember that you can easily get more planks of laminate flooring.
