Why Laminate Flooring is Your Best Option
Laminate floorings are manufactured in easily-installed planks. The layered construction offers unmatched durability at affordable prices. Laminate floorings are typically made of four layers:
- The backing layer is constructed using plastic, paper, or melamine. It balances the floor and absorbs moisture.
- The core layer is created with medium-density fiberboard (MDF) or high-density fiberboard (HDF) which is compressed with adhesive and resin. It protects the floor against moisture and indentations.
- The pattern layer lends creates its realistic appearance. It is primarily made with realistic colors using high-quality ink.
- The wear layer protects the laminate floor from wear. This protective layer is constructed from an aluminum oxide coat. The clear coat range from low to high gloss.
These layers within the laminate board work together to provide you with various benefits. Laminate flooring is a cost-effective solution to achieve the specific style and design that you desire. High-quality laminate floors are available in a variety of well-crafted designs. Some feature realistic wood grain while others recreate tile or stone floors.
Laminate flooring is also one of the most durable flooring options for your home. The layered construction can withstand heavy foot traffic and daily use of an active family. Well-cared laminate floors can look as good as new for many years.

Your Guide to Laminate Flooring Installation
Preparing for a flooring installation is quite straightforward. Carpet must be removed before installation. Laminate floors can be installed on vinyl, tile, concrete, and plywood. Typically, an underlayment, such as foam, cork, or rubber, should be applied first before installing the laminate planks. It also functions as a sound barrier between floors.
Laminate floor solutions can be installed using glue or glueless method. The latter installation method is faster, and the floor is ready right away as the tongue-and-groove joints easily snap together. Using glue during installation creates a sealant between the planks which is perfect for homes where spillage are a common occurrence.
Knowing the basics of floor installation is essential. But, our Palm Beach laminate flooring experts at Giant Carpet & Flooring, Inc will provide you with a worry-free installation. We ensure your satisfaction from evaluating your home for the perfect solution to installing your laminate flooring!

How to Care for Your Laminate Flooring
Laminate floors are easy to clean and maintain. Taking care of your flooring will allow you to enjoy it for years. Your floor only needs basic cleaning supplies such as a dry mop, sponge, water, and laminate floor cleaner.
Start by dry mopping the floor thoroughly. Use the vacuum with a brush attachment to remove dust from edges and crevices. Use the softest brush to avoid damaging the protective layer. All loose dirt should be removed before wet mopping the floor.
While there are available laminate floor cleaners, it is easy to make a homemade cleaner yourself by mixing vinegar and water in equal parts. You can also mix rubbing alcohol, vinegar, and water to create a spot-free cleaner. Avoid using cleaners made for hardwood, tile, or linoleum as it will leave soapy finish on the laminate. Moreover, never use wood polish as it will dull the finish of your laminate floor. It will also create a very slick surface.
You can use your homemade cleaner or even a window cleaner to spot clean tough stains and dirt. Properly cleaning and maintaining your laminate flooring ensures that it will maintain its look for a long time.
