Back to the basics with laminate flooring in Auburn, WA, Bellevue, WA, and Lynnwood, WA

 
Laminate was the first hard surface floor covering to bring the wood-look to the flooring industry. Before that, if you wanted wood floors, you had to save up for the real thing, and then continue on with the maintenance, the cleaning, and the refinishing schedules.

While this works wonderfully for some homeowners, others who might not have the time or the budget for the real thing were simply left out. That is no longer the case, and laminate is still offering the amazing look of all wood floors, without all the extra work.

Types of laminate

 
Laminate can, of course, come in many styles, photo-realistically mimicking wood, stone and tile. There are also various installation methods for laminate.

  • Glueless click: Most laminate falls into this category due to the ease with which this type can be installed. Glueless click floors float over your existing floors, eliminating the need for removal in many cases. They require no adhesive, and some even comes with a pre-attached underpad.
  • Glued: Glued laminate requires an adhesive to attach the joints, which makes for a very strong and durable surface compared to glueless click. The tradeoff is that Installation more costly and time-consuming.
  • Pre-glued: This type of laminate comes with a pre-applied adhesive that simply needs to be moistened in order to activate, saving time during installation when compared to regular glued laminate.


Best rooms for laminate
