Wide Plank Laminate Flooring

When you are considering what kind of flooring to put into your home, whether you are building a brand new house or replacing flooring in an old one, you have some crucial decisions to make. Vinyl flooring, narrow plank laminate flooring, wide plank laminate flooring; there are a lot of floor types to choose from, and then there are colors, patterns, style, and all the other details.

If you have narrowed down your choice to laminate flooring, then your next step is to choose whether you want narrow plank laminate flooring or wide plank laminate flooring. The first thing that you will want to do is determine what exactly the differences are between the two - besides the obvious - and which one would work best in the room in which you are installing it. For some rooms, you may find that the wider version is the one you want.

Wide plank laminate flooring has, of course, wider planks than the narrow plank laminate flooring. The differences go on from there, however. With the wide plank flooring, installation time will be shorter because you have fewer planks to work with and install. Also, the look is going to be different. Wide planking will have a distinctive look to it, and will often make the floor appear larger than if the laminate was narrow plank. It also tends to look less "busy". Many people opt to put wide plank laminate flooring in their kitchens because the kitchen is already a fairly cluttered room, with all the large and small appliances, cookware, and storage ware in it. With the wide planks, the floor has a less cluttered look itself, and complements the kitchen dcor instead of clashing with it. You want to consider the layout of the room in which you are planning on installing flooring, and decide if the wide plank laminate flooring will enhance the look of it or detract from the look of it.

There are many different styles to choose from when you are considering wide plank laminate flooring. For the kitchen most people like to choose planking with subtle, light wood grain tones - although this is not a hard and fast rule. Living rooms or family rooms tend to look better with the medium wood grain tones, or even darker tones. How light or dark you go depends on the tones of the rest of the dcor, and what kind of statement you are trying to make.
