Laminate flooring installation in Vancouver
Laminate flooring installation
Laminate flooring is an excellent alternative to hardwood flooring installation in Vancouver. It is a synthetic flooring product with an inner core made of fiberboard or melamine resin, a clear protective layer, and a photographic applique layer with design patterns. Some people opt for laminate flooring because it's cheaper than hardwood floors, but the quality is similar and the cost of product and installation is much less.
This kind of flooring is easy to maintain. The strong external layer makes the laminate long-lasting, easy to clean and scratch-resistant. If you have children, pets, and high traffic, this is the best flooring choice. In addition, the laminate isn't damaged by humidity and will not expand due to moisture. The laminate boards are created to interlock together, so no dust will accumulate.
Choosing the type of laminate flooring in Vancouver
First, you need to choose the type of laminate boards that you love before installation. Laminate flooring offers a wide range of flooring appearances and different installation methods. There are also different surface types that you can choose from.
You can also select laminate flooring depending on their Abrasion Class (AC) ratings, which are based on usage and durability. Here are the different AC ratings:
AC5
For busiest commercial uses and fit for high traffic units such as government offices.
AC4
This is for general commercial uses and recommended for high traffic cafes, offices and stores.
AC3
Appropriate for all kinds of residential use and office spaces with moderate traffic.
AC2
For general residential use and fit for living rooms and dining areas.
AC1
For moderate residential use and great for bedrooms and closets.
Note that the higher the AC rating you select for your laminate flooring, the stronger and more long-lasting the floor will be. Also, a higher rating implies that the laminate board is a bit expensive.
Types of installation
There are three different ways of installation. It all depends on the kind of laminate board you like. You can opt for the glueless installation; the boards will just be clicked and locked. You can also choose the glued boards, which require to be glued during the process. They are stronger than the glueless but more expensive and take longer to be installed. The last type of installation is the pre-glued board. The board is already glued; it just needs moistening before fitting.
