It’s quite easy to install laminate flooring in homes.New style laminate flooring doesn’t need you to glue pieces together to make them set, instead, it’s just a click or lock or fold system where installation looks like joining the pieces of a puzzle. It doesn’t require a big sawing machine, but it can be cut with a simple hand saw.

Maintenance and cleaning are so easy. One just needs to vacuum or broom or mop. There is no need to wax the floor anymore. Use a microfibre mop to keep it clean.

Laminated flooring can resist little amount of water: take care of the water stains and mop the floor carefully

• Laminate flooring can resist a small amount of water if there are no gaps between boards or planks. So it’s quite suitable in semi-moist areas of the home such as powder rooms, kitchens, and places like them.
• You don’t have to worry about denting or scratching laminate flooring. Pets? No problem. Wear any footwear you like because this flooring resists denting and scratching.
• Laminate flooring is built in layers. The underlayers allow you stand on the floor for longer without discomfort. It doesn’t feel as hard it looks. The underlay gives it a springy feeling underfoot, which is comfortable and safe.
• It can look like a wood or stone or any other natural material you wish to install but can’t due to your budget.
