Well, we’ve been using our new laminate flooring for a good several months now. The installation was OK, for us first-timers. The temperature fluctuations typical of New York State have caused the flooring to shift quite a bit. I am still very pleased with the flooring, although the shifting makes me uneasy.
I am happy to announce that it looks like the shifting as ceased (until spring, at least?). For a while there, I thought maybe we were experiencing a new kind of Andreas Fault or something… but so far, so good. We’ll see how it goes when we go through the turgid humidity of July and August…
One does not really need to go through a flooring information guide to figure out the type of flooring he prefers. If a person has a distaste for rubber flooring, nothing can change that. Similarly those who have always preferred a carpet tile to carpet runners, will stick to the tile, no matter what. One should be cautious with a laminate floor though because it has a lesser life than its counterparts. On the other hand, linoleum and bamboo flooring is quite in these days.
