Laminate Flooring
Laminate floors can be used in any area of your
Before installing your laminate floor, make sure that your sub floor is flat and smoothly laid out. Underlayment should be used under your floor for sound proofing purposes. Inspect flooring panels, and look for damage before installation, or else you could have uneven planks that can't be locked together. Choose a High Pressure Laminate that is more expensive, but offers a greater variety of designs, higher durability and enhanced inter locking mechanisms. Prices vary from the lowest end to high end ranges, and quality is usually determined by price.
Consider AC ratings before purchasing a laminate floor. A kitchen laminate floor should have an AC rating of at least 3. Heavy use areas like commercial buildings need a rating of at least 5. Protect your laminate floors by using protective pads for your furniture legs. To move furniture across your floor, place a ply wood sheet first over the laminate, and then move the furniture across it. Avoid re finishing your laminate floor. If glue or candle wax falls on your floor, let it harden completely, and then scrape it up gently using a plastic scraper. Never use wax products, ammonia cleaners and bleach on your hard wood floor. White spills immediately, and don't leave water standing.

I would like to get a quote on installing hard wood floors in both my master bedroom and guest bedroom. The rest of the house has hardwood floors and I would like to match those two rooms to the wood in the entire house.
