Home Improvement(flooring)?
Jan 30th, 2010 by admin
I am looking at putting down flooring thoughout my home.I am curious to know which is the best the laminated flooring or the snap together flooring.I have carpet down now in most of the rooms with the exception of the bathrooms kithchen and utilitie rooms.
I favor Mannington, Armstrong, or Quick Step laminates, they are the easiest to install, I would use any for all the rooms, except bath, kitchen and utility because of possible exposure to excessive water. In those rooms, if you need something easy to put in cork is a possibility, Adura Tiles(see Mannington website), or their is a vinyl product by Armstrong called cushion step that you can actually just free float on the floor (see Armstrong site for more info. If you really wanted to go all out, some engineered wood floors can also be floated(snap type install). Mannington has some really nice looks in this also. Hope this helps you!!
The snap together flooring is usually easier on the feet if it has a cork padding on the bottom of it. It’s also very easy to install. Just remember that you have to allow room for it to expand and contract.

If it’s going to get wet a lot or if you have inside dogs, think about going ceramic tile.
