The rise in popularity of laminate floors can be put down to a number of factors – from the low cost compared to real wood to the fact they are currently more fashionable than carpets and much easier to keep clean. Many people find laminate floors to be more hygienic too because they tend not to hold onto pet hairs and dust in the stubborn way that carpets do.

Advances in design and developments in printing technology have made laminate floors look more realistic than ever and this in turn is making them more desirable and popular. The high quality of the finish of laminate flooring such as the ones looks almost like real wood. Consumers can choose from a wide array of colours and designs – allowing them to obtain that luxurious wood look at a fraction of the price.
