Laminate Flooring Benefits

2nd May 2013

Laminate flooring benefits – What are the main benefits of laminate flooring?

Well one of the most advantageous reasons to have laminate flooring fitted is that it will not scrape and mark in the same way a solid wood floor would. Although solid wood will mark, it does add to the character, however some people prefer the laminate flooring benefits whereby it won’t mark at all. Another great advantage is the price! Depending on the quality of your laminate, it will save you a lot of money compared to an engineered or solid wood.  Laminate floors can be laid on most surfaces as they do need to be glued or nailed down. The main system is the click, which make it great for any DIY’er. As time has gone by the simple click system has become easier and easier.  Laminate floors  can withstand a lot of pressure as well. This is due to the tough backing of the product. As well as all this, technology, especially on the photography front, has made it possible for laminate to be so real looking that it is difficult to distinguish between the laminate and the real thing.  Laminate is also extremely easy to clean. A carpet will take in all the dust etc and laminate is great especially for people with allergies as it does not trap the dustmites!! Laminates can be hovered and then using a damp cloth or mop (but never over-soak the product!). It will be brought up just like new. Basically when you look at the price difference between a real wood floor and a laminate then some would say that there is no way they would go for a real wood floor. The price and upkeep being the first thing. Laminates can because of the very nature of the product are almost scrape proof and bomb proof. As long as you are not over-soaking the product there is little moisture that gets into laminates due to the fantastic locking system that is available today. There so many different varieties of woods and colours. With laminates you can have almost any colour and design that your little heart desires. If you want a clean beautiful serene bedroom, then instead of splashing out on a wooden floor and having to pay for all kinds of stains etc, why not choose beautiful white-washed effect laminate which will be exceptionally easy to clean and keep your bedroom the special space that you desire. As you can see there are many benefits of having a laminate floor, which will give you a world of choice.

Fantastic service. David gave me great advice on which flooring would be most suitable for my business premises. Within the week Steven came to fit the flooring and, as promised, was in and out in a day. Can’t recommend this local Company enough. Anna Smylie ZuZu Giffnock.

We recently purchased engineered oak flooring and carpets from First Floors. The customer service from David and team was exceptional. We had just moved home from overseas and bought a house with no floors so we did not have access to allow First Floors to measure. Theye allowed us to use our own measurements as we wanted the floors laid ASAP once we had the keys. The floor is beautiful and laid very professionally (thanks Steven). The carpets are also lovely and exactly what I wanted. The only thing I would change about the experience would be to have First Floors assess the house in advance. We have fire doors which were a problem the day the carpets were laid. This was not the issue of First Floors and it was resolved quickly. Thanks again David, we would highly recommend First Floors to anyone.

Another Great Job Done!!
Just had our third floor project in seven years completed by First Floors once again.
Great service from David and his showroom team from assisting in the selection of materials through to arranging the installation. Chris and his team worked tidily and efficiently on the hardwood flooring with great attention to detail. Gordon who fitted the stair carpet was very professional in his work and was able to resolve some problematic details to our entire satisfaction.
Would definitely recommend First Floors.
