Extended Recession Means Extended Life of Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring is an affordable choice in flooring, allowing it to prosper even as the economy goes through a recession.
 
Jan. 31, 2011 - PRLog -- As the current recession drags on, every business sector is affected. The one field that is not showing signs of loss is that of laminate flooring. New studies show that 2010 actually proved to be one of the best years on record for laminate floors. This can be due to one of two factors, but whatever the reason, laminate flooring is going strong.

   Invented by Swiss flooring manufacturer Pergo, the floors were only introduced to the United States in 1982. Since then, the sector has experienced growth of twenty percent annually. Laminate floors are produced by taking a picture of the flooring to be depicted, and transferring the photo onto the flooring tile. Over the years the technique has been perfected, and laminate flooring today can often pass for the real thing. Discount laminate floors are commonly used to take the place of the more costly hardwood flooring, but they are also available in granite, stone, and marble looks.

   While hardwood floors are the age-old flooring of choice, laminate flooring is their new, budget-friendly alternative, and one seller, http://www.affordafloors.com, says that customers are snatching them up. It stands to reason that because laminate flooring is more cost-efficient it is a favorite during times of economic recession.

       Laminate floors are also great for DIYers who are looking to save money on installation. This is because the floors are manufactured with a unique click-lock method that allows them to be installed as ‘floating floors’; they are not adhered to the subfloor and require no messy glue or nails. This added feature makes laminate flooring a great choice for home improvement during the recession, and may contribute to their constant rise in sales.

        Some in the flooring industry are also hoping that the good reports on laminate flooring from 2010 are a sign that the recession is nearing an end. There were some reports of decreased sales, while some countries even reached new highs, but overall studies show that laminate flooring is, and will continue to be, a staple in the flooring industry for a long while.

       It remains to be seen whether the laminate flooring industry can maintain their good reports of the past few years, but all signs show that laminate flooring is here to stay, regardless of the status of the economy.
