Winter is far from over, but the odds are your floors have already taken a battering from wet and muddy boots and possibly muddy paws, too. So maybe now is the time to start thinking about a new floor, with Stories Flooring, being your first port of call.

While cost is often cited as one of the main reasons for selecting laminate flooring, laminate has far more going for it than simply being an affordable alternative to hardwood or stone.

But what is laminate? Laminate is typically multi layered with a base and a high density fibre (HDF) core layer.

Tough, thanks to the durable protective layer used on the floor surface, laminate flooring is resistant to scratches, dents, heavy knocks and impact of falling objects. Perfect for areas that see heavy traffic.

A high-resolution image is used to finish the look. At one time only a wood finish was available, but with today’s technology and customer creativity, that final finish is available in non-wood finishes, too, such as stone, tile and even a leather-look.

Warrington Guardian:

Put simply, laminate floors come in a range of patterns, shades and surface textures, so it is easy to find a floor that matches your interior décor exactly. Whether you want the cool elegance of stone or the rich class of hardwood, laminate flooring can reproduce either look effortlessly.

And they are durable and hard wearing, too, making laminate flooring the perfect choice for households with children and pets, as well as commercial premises demanding a low upkeep. 

To maintain your laminate flooring in the best condition, vacuum every day to get rid of dirt and dust. In case of spills and stains, clean using a damp mop.

Laminate flooring is a great choice to use with underfloor heating. Most laminate flooring manufacturers have engineered their products to adapt to rapid temperature changes, making them a perfect floor covering for underfloor heating.

Laying your laminate floor couldn’t be any easier allowing homeowners or facility managers to execute it, as long as you follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions.
