Laminate Floors in Your Home
Laminate sports a wood, stone, or other natural materials appearance. It adds a timeless and elegant flair to any room of the home. A durable laminate floor can do anything that natural hardwood can do and more. It’s affordable, durable, and can withstand many of life’s battles.
Buying a new laminate floor can be a little daunting if you don’t know what to look for. The Carpet Guys will give you all the information needed to pick your perfect flooring and simplify the buying process.
What is Laminate Flooring? Why Install it?
Quite often, homeowners who buy laminate floors initially wanted traditional hardwood because of the elegant and timeless appeal that hardwood adds to a home's aesthetics. What most of these customers did not realize is that many of today's laminate flooring products provide the same look and feel for a mere fraction of the price of hardwood floors.
During the past twenty years, laminate flooring manufacturers have made leaps and bounds when it comes to the appearance, feel, and overall cost of laminate products on the market now, and many of today's laminate flooring products look almost identical to traditional hardwood to the untrained eye.

LAMINATE FAQs
Carpet is generally less expensive upfront than hardwood or luxury vinyl. However, hardwood may last longer and add more value, so consider long-term costs.
When starting laminate flooring, begin along your straightest and most visible wall, or from a snapped reference line if the room is not square. Plan the first and last row widths before you start so you do not end up with a tiny rip cut at one side of the room.
To install laminate flooring, start by removing the old floor if needed, checking that the subfloor is clean, flat, dry, and structurally sound, and letting the material acclimate if the manufacturer requires it. Lay the proper underlayment if required, start with a straight first row, stagger the joints, maintain the expansion gap, and lock each plank tightly in place. Always read the product instructions first, because the required underlayment, adhesive, moisture barrier, spacing, and fastener schedule vary by brand and substrate.
On concrete, the slab must be clean, flat, and dry before you install laminate flooring, and many products also require a moisture barrier or approved underlayment. Always test for moisture and follow the product instructions, because concrete-related moisture is one of the biggest causes of flooring failure.
