Benefits of Having Laminate Floor Molding Installed

Molding is something that many people overlook when considering their floor remodeling job. Base molding is an important part of your flooring refinishing and, when you redo your room, you want to consider the options you have available to make sure that all the details are just right. Nobody wants a beautiful floor with ugly, damaged and unsightly base boards. If you’re installing laminate flooring, consider using the same material for your base molds. Learn the benefits of laminate floor molding and how having it installed by a professional flooring contractor can be a beautiful finish to your room.

What Is Laminate Floor Molding?

Laminate floor molding, or base molding, is a type of protective covering that is applied to the place where the wall meets the floor. The idea is that it will protect the wall when things slide around the floor, when furniture or other objects strike it. It also allows for leaving a gap to access the area behind the wall if necessary. Your ServiceWhale contractor can help you to determine which kind is best for your floor.

Traditionally, base boards have been made of wood and stained or painted to match the color pattern of the room. Now, however, there is a new option available that many are considering: laminate, which can be made in a wide variety of colors and styles. Laminate baseboards carry many of the same benefits as laminate flooring.

Easy Install

Laminate materials are conveniently packaged and very easy to install. Your flooring contractor will be able to lay them and get them secured in a snap! In fact, even if you don’t have a laminate floor, you can use laminate molding, which can be installed just about anywhere over anything.

Versatile

Laminate can be made to look like just about anything. Whether you want cherry, oak, maple, or even the look of ceramic or natural stone, there’s a form of laminate out there to match your ideal design aesthetic.

Easy Maintenance

Laminate molding is ideal for those who want an easy to maintain floor, which is also gorgeous to look at and can stand up to the elements and heavy traffic. It’s astoundingly easy to clean and keep up—much easier than the wood it’s made to resemble.

Allergies and Pathogens

Laminate floor molds help to resist bacteria, mold and allergens. This makes it a great addition for a healthy home with clean, easy-to-breathe air. It’s one of the safest materials you can use for a flooring job.
