New laminate flooring

Laminate floor companies are now devising their own means of gaining the trust of customers - most of them offer warranties and discounts, and some may even provide you with free installation of the flooring. For example, one manufacturer that sells high-grade laminate flooring for a reasonable price is Trafficmaster Laminate Flooring.

Trafficmaster laminate flooring is a budget flooring made by Shaw Industries for distribution exclusively through the Home Depot. Trafficmaster laminate flooring is inexpensive and recommended for the do-it-yourselfer who wants to try their hand at re-flooring a room. Trafficmaster laminate flooring is designed for residential and light commercial use. Trafficmaster laminates carry a 25 year limited warranty against staining, fading and surface wear.

Installing Trafficmaster Laminate Flooring

Unlike other forms of laminate flooring, it is not necessary to install a layer of padding prior to installing Trafficmaster laminate flooring. Instead, it can be laid directly over any type of sub flooring, aside from carpeting.

As with all laminate floorings, Trafficmaster laminate flooring is pieced together with tongue and groove paneling. It is not, however, necessary to apply an adhesive to the tongue and groove edges of the Trafficmaster laminate flooring pieces. Therefore, it is even easier to install than other types of laminate flooring.

Benefits of TrafficMaster Laminate Floorings

With the Trafficmaster laminate flooring though, it is no problem if you let your kids run around it or if they play with pets. The surface of this flooring is not easily scratched so you need not worry. Cleaning this flooring is as I have already said, very easy. Vacuuming or sweeping are the only necessary steps you need to take to maintain it. If the dirt cannot be vacuumed or swept, then you only need to wipe the flooring with damp cloth. You heard me right, no need to concern yourself about moisture exposure.

Trafficmaster laminate flooring utilizes the direct pressure manufacturing technique which is the newest technology in laminate flooring. Through this one step process, the aluminum oxide wear-layer and decorative surface are fused together with the high density fiber board core and backing layer using 400 ft lbs of torque per inch. A chemical change actually occurs during the laminate process wherein a solid product is created. This solid laminate is guaranteed never to delaminate. An ultra-high density core is used for increased impact resistance and improved structural stability.

In cases where you need to replace a portion of your flooring, there won’t be a need for you to rip up the entire place if you are using laminates. Laminate flooring comes in tiles that can be un-installed individually if there is a need for you to replace them. This is why it is recommended that upon purchasing laminate flooring, you should buy a few extra boards so you can use them for replacement in the future.
