Are you deciding on a new floor for your kitchen this year and wondering what sort to choose? Practical laminate wood flooring is an all-round versatile solution, especially in high traffic areas like the kitchen, so here’s why you should consider it for your home.
Easy to Clean
Hygiene is a key factor anywhere that where food preparation takes place; all surfaces need to be easily cleaned and that includes the floor. A good quality moisture resistant wood laminate is a breeze to sweep, vacuum and wash. A squirt of disinfectant, some hot water and an absorbent mop are really all you need to banish germs and keep the floor looking good.
Value for Money
Compared to real wood flooring a laminate wood floor is a cost-effective option that can look just as good as the real thing. The boards are made up of different layers of fibreboard with a stabilising base layer. The top surface is essentially a photographic print of authentic looking wood grain which is sealed with clear resin for durability. A site like Taskers, with its great range of realistic looking laminate wood flooring for the kitchen even provides a room calculator, so you can easily work out the cost of buying your new floor.
Hardwearing
A kitchen is one room where there is naturally a lot of footfall; it’s one of the busiest spaces in the home and needs to stand up to the task. All those family comings and goings, there may be pets trotting through, food spills and hot liquid splashes when cooking etc. A wood effect laminate floor is especially practical in this case; its very durable, especially when you choose a moisture-resistant design that can rise to the challenge, able to withstand extreme heat changes and scuffs, too.
Stylish Appearance
There is such a huge choice of finish when it comes to wood effect laminate flooring, from the lightest ash and oak shades to mid-greys, washed beachy finishes and deeper, darker shades of warm wood. Whether you prefer to create a light, bright Scandi-inspired interior or a luxury designer feel to your room, wood effect laminate is a great way to give your home a very modern, contemporary feel.
Easy to Fit
The good news is that competent DIYers will be able to fit laminate flooring quite easily – its straightforward and a great way to save money on the cost of fitting if you can do it yourself. But even if you aren’t very handy, wood laminate is a breeze for a professional fitter and you’ll be amazed at how fast it can be cut and installed, with an average-sized room easily completed in a day. This is especially great for a kitchen as it is one room in the house that simply can’t be out of action for very long!
As you can see there are many benefits to considering a modern laminate wood floor to enhance the heart of your home. Is it a flooring option you have considered yet?
