Are laminate flooring wear and scratch resistant?


         ​More and more often we are using laminate flooring installed in spaces around the home. One of the biggest reasons and the reason that the flooring systems are growing in popularity is that they are very durable. Laminate floorings are very durable, super scratch resistant, and very easy to care for when properly done. The key to maintaining and keeping the floors looking at their best is making sure that the care instructions have been followed closely. When this style of floorings is installed and cared for they wear nicely and are scratch resistant to a certain point. If these types of floorings are not cared for properly and dirt lays on the floor it can gather on the topcoat. Once the dirt lays on the topcoat for a period of time the build up can cause the surface to look very dull. There are occurrences and instances that laminate flooring, just like not cleaning it regularly can cause the flooring to become worn and scratched. Avoiding these is the best way to ensure that the finish on the flooring remains shiny and has a long life.
 
        When we look at different types of floors, laminate is well known for being a pet friendly surface. It can be installed in a space and owners can be confident that their furry friends will not damage the floor. They can pretty much go worry free wondering is their bug furry friend is going to ruin their floor. Laminate flooring has a topcoat that is created to perform well under normal pet traffic. One thing that pets can do to damage a laminate flooring is having accidents on the floor. Any liquid exposed to the floor can be very damaging and pet accidents are no different for the floors. Using a spill kit or cleaning the accident up right away can prevent the moisture from getting between the planks of the flooring and causing it to warp or buckle up.
 
         Laminate flooring is also great at handling the moving and sitting of furniture. Often there are instances that furniture needs to be moved around in the space often and if this is the case a laminate flooring can stand up to the challenge with pride. But there is a rule to this cause, felt pads have to be installed to the bottom of any surface that comes in contact with the floor. The felt pads protect the floor from scratching and allow any piece of furniture to easily glide across the floor without causing damage. When it comes to rolling chairs like office chairs that felt pads can not be installed on, it is best to install a floor mat below where the chair is being used. These floor mats prevent the wheels from damaging and scratching the flooring. Once again it is important that you always clean the dust and debris from the flooring often especially when moving any type of furniture across the floor. Even if the pads are installed if a pad gets grit under it and it is slide across the floor it can potentially scratch the flooring. It can even cause more damage because furniture is often heavy. Laminate flooring is very durable and the topcoat will remain beautiful for many years to come as long as precautions are made and clean up measures are taken seriously.
 
         Another great feature of the laminate flooring is they are about to withstand daily traffic without worrying about wearing and scratching the flooring. The floorings are designed to handle the daily wear of everyday travels and show traffic. If you have a space that you are interested in having a laminate flooring installed and it gets more foot traffic than a normal space then there is a type of laminate flooring that can be installed that is specially made for these spaces. It is great for entryways and areas that have a lot of commotion on the regular. 
 
          Laminate flooring has been designed and constructed with the idea that they are very durable against wear and can resist scratching from daily wear and tear. These floorings have accepted the challenge and are running a close race in the first place.
