If you've ever had carpets or vinyl flooring you've probably had your share of stains, spills, and rips that no matter what you do, you can't quite wash out.  Or perhaps the family pet has scratched the carpet edging, or even worse - had a bathroom mishap on the children's favorite playing area?
 

Your flooring nightmares can finally end!  Laminate flooring was designed to stand up to the rigors and demands of a busy family household and when compared to other types of flooring solutions easily outperforms in almost every category.  Here our our top reasons for selecting laminate flooring for a family household:
 

Laminate flooring is tough
Designed with a tough and durable wear layer, it is much stronger than most installed solid hardwood flooring, vinyl's, and carpets.  It stands up much better to dents and scratches that the softer surface of solid hardwood floors, and is a much better surface to install if you have heavy foot traffic, kids, or household pets.  Best of all - it continues to look brand new even after years of wear and tear.
 

Stain, fade, and moisture resistant
Most laminate flooring manufacturers offer triple warranty protection against stains, fading and moisture damage for 25 years.  In contrast, solid hardwood floors are susceptible to wood grain staining, fading in repeated sunlight exposure, and are not a suitable floor for areas with high moisture or humidity levels.

 
Laminate flooring is easy to install
The popular quality brands of laminate flooring have gravitated towards a glueless click together floating floor installation process.  These floors simply need to be cut to size, clicked together, and are immediately ready to walk on or place your furniture.  Most weekend do-it-yourselfers can handle this installation, but should expect to take 2 - 3 times longer than a professional installer.
 

Laminate flooring is easy to clean and maintain
Spills and messes easily clean up with a little soap and water thanks to the hard moisture and wear resistant surface coating.  No residual stain or mess will remain and your laminate floors will continue to look brand new.  No more run down and tired looking floors!
 

Laminate flooring are a healthy flooring choice
With regular cleaning cycles, laminate floors can provide a much cleaner and healthier living environment when compared to carpets.  Less dust, pet dander, allergens and dust mites accumulate on the surface, and the laminate surface will not hold residual stain contaminants like a carpet will.  Allergists will often recommend to their patients the removal of carpets from the living
space.

 
Laminate flooring is economical
Once you consider the costs of alternate flooring solutions over a typical laminate flooring lifespan it becomes an extremely economical solution.  Carpets will require 2 to 3 replacements during this time, solid hardwood floors will require refinishing 4 to 5 times, and vinyl will need to be replaced at
least twice, or more depending on traffic loads.

 
A worry-free family focused flooring surface
Kids can play toys on it, the dog can run through with muddy paws, the neighbor friends can visit with wet shoes, and the baby bottle spills all over the floor... not a problem anymore!  Laminate floors are the perfect floor for busy families and growing households.
