Laminate flooring is fancier than it used to be, but still an economical option for home remodeling. If you’re considering Dublin laminate flooring for your home or business, here’s a list of the top 5 things we love about this popular choice to help you make up your mind.
1) Lasting Durability
If your flooring needs to be able to stand up to a lot of foot traffic, Dublin laminate has the lasting durability you’re looking for. Laminate flooring is designed to be resistant to scratches and it’s highly durable. It won’t warp or crack over time like other flooring materials.
2) Hygienic & Easy Cleanup
Not only does laminate flooring make for an easy-to-clean material, but it’s also naturally more hygienic than many other options. Did you know that some brands even incorporate an antimicrobial resin? Additionally, laminate also offers some resistance to stains, which is great news for pet lovers.
3) Quick Installation
No grout or mortar means that installing laminate flooring takes less time and there’s less messy cleanup afterwards too. This also translates to lower labor costs—an added bonus.
4) Affordability
And while we’re talking about costs, laminate flooring can’t be beat when it comes to affordability. Why would you pay more for good looks and functionality if you don’t have to?
If you’re planning a home remodeling project but you’re trying to stay within your budget, laminate flooring is one way to cut down on costs. It’s impossible to plan your home improvement project without first crunching the numbers. So, how much does laminate cost? There are a few things you’ll need to know to calculate the total expense of your new floors, regardless of the kind of material you choose:
- How many square feet of flooring you need
- The cost per square foot of the brand/design you select
- Shipping, delivery, and sales tax
- The cost of installation, including things like removing old flooring
In general, most laminate flooring costs anywhere from $2-$5 per square foot, but keep in mind this is before installation fees are factored in. When deciding how much material you need, plan for a little extra to account for trimmed pieces. For an accurate estimate, it’s best to give your local flooring store a call and talk to an expert.
5) Colors, Patterns, and Designs
Laminate flooring designs can also realistically mimic the appearance of more costly materials, like hardwood. Our ability to replicate the texture and grain of wood has come a long way. Or, if you love the look of stone but not the hardness of it, Dublin laminate is a great solution. And, of course, laminate is also available in a variety of gorgeous colors and patterns. Whatever your home or office decor, there’s a laminate to match your preferred aesthetic.
