Laminate
Laminated wood flooring is perfect
for those areas of the house where solid wood flooring may not
be suitable, such as basements, kitchens, powder rooms, and
utility rooms. Because the grains run in different directions,
it is more dimensionally stable than solid wood. this means
that it will expand and contract less than solid wood during
fluctuations in humidity and
temperature.
Many different species and colors
of laminated wood flooring are available on the market, and
adding borders, medallions or corner treatments is a terrific
option with laminates as well as solid products. Most laminated
wood flooring products are finished at the factory, and several
finish options are available.
