Solid Wood Floor or Laminate Flooring: A New Insight

Choosing between laminate flooring and real wood flooring can be a tough one. It seems that the price of laminate flooring usually wins over the beauty of real wood flooring. But which lasts longer? Which is better quality? And which looks best in your room?

Laminate Flooring

Laminate Flooring

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 flooring. 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 floor 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 flooring needs 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.

Laminate Flooring Information

Laminate flooring became very popular in the late eighties early nineties and swept the nation who went on a laminate floor frenzy. The first laminate floors did not have a click system but a standard tongue and groove which meant that all the boards needed to be glued together.

Laminate floors were available from most high street stores including Ikea, Allders, House of Fraser and others. Three strip laminate was the original flooring look and the floors were finished off with beading around the edges. Now there are numerous styles of laminate floors including planked effect, V-groove (bevelled) boards, tile styled laminate and even fully waterproof laminate called Aquastep.

The aqua step laminate is made completely from plastic meaning it is completely safe with water and will not swell or chip. It has click together fittings making installation simple. All laminates now come with the click fit system which means that DIY installation is simple.

Although many people tend to trade up to real wood flooring when renovating, laminate floors are still a reasonable choice for many.
