Laminate Flooring Reviews, Not All Are Created Equal
Laminate flooring reviews, I have been wanting to write about this for some time now. I have searched the internet to find honest reviews on laminate flooring, all I seem to find is just very general descriptions basically saying that they are all the same. Well I know better. With laminate flooring there is such a thing as "The good The bad and the ugly". There are floors I will recommend any chance I get. And then there are the ones I want to run away from. I love installing a good quality laminate floor, it makes me look good. I see first hand how the floor looks close up. Maybe what I see and my customer sees may be different, even so you still want a floor that is made well so it will continue to look new 5 years from now.
My Rating System For Laminate flooring And Floating Wood Flooring
There are several ways that I rate laminate flooring
Number one is the ease of actually connecting the boards together.This can make a big difference.
How smooth the joints are. The nickel test: slide a nickel across the floor, you don't want to hear click click click.
How strong the core is, this can determine how easy a board can be damaged in shipping.
The machining of the joints themselves. if they are not made exactly right it can be a little more difficult to work with.
And how much damaged product there is after receiving your flooring.
The overall look of the finished floor.
The laminate flooring reviews I am writing are based on the floors I have personally installed. There may be additional products from a manufacturer that may be a different quality (better or worse) from the one I have installed. I haven't installed every brand of laminate floor on the market, so all I can do is report on the ones I have worked with.
