A Solid Wood Floor or Laminate Flooring: A New Insight
Laminate flooring is fantastic if you are looking for a wood effect floor on a budget. The best value for money laminate flooring is Krono collection, The Krono collection comes in a range of oak colours and 4 different effects. It comes as an easy click lock installation system so even if you don’t have a degree in construction to be able to fit it. You can also buy quickstep laminate flooring. The quickstep laminate flooring system was designed for a closer fit between the panels. Finally there is aqua step laminate floors this flooring system is waterproof so no more nasty raised planks due to large spillages. The aqua step laminate flooring is especially handy for bathrooms, kitchens and utility rooms. Laminate flooring is very easy to clean and maintain. It only needs a sweep and a mop every so often and if you really want to make your laminate floor shine you could even give it a polish. Laminate does have a downside and that is that it doesn’t last as long as a solid wood floor. Remember that when you are choosing your laminate you should find one appropriate for the area. For example if you are laying your laminate in the hallway then you should pick a laminate that is suitable for high traffic areas.
Real wood flooring is the kind of flooring that will transform your room. It will add style to your room scheme and will create warmth in the room. Of course solid wood flooring is more expensive than laminate but you can see the quality of the solid wood flooring compared to laminate. Solid wood flooring is available in hundreds of different colours and styles. You can get real wood floors from pretty much any tree you like. These colours range from the darkest aged oak to the lightest pine. These colours can be adjusted and changed to suit your style with different finishes. These finishes include oiled, no-oiled, lacquered, brushed and even smoked. The choice of finish can make your floor look completely different so be sure to choose wisely. Solid wood floors require some maintenance. It should be cleaned regularly as per the manufacturer’s instructions and should be cleaned with a specialist solid wood floor cleaner. A solid wood floor should also be re-finished every few years or so too. If you do not maintain your solid wood flooring then it will not last to its full lifespan. By ensuring that it is well looked after will mean it won’t need replacing and therefore a more cost effective choice.
So now you have a better knowledge of solid wood flooring and laminate wood flooring hopefully your choice will be a little bit easier. Remember that investing in a quality solid wood floor can sometimes be cheaper if it lasts a lifetime.
