How to prevent scratching laminate flooring?

 

Laminate flooring is one of the most popular materials on the market. It owes its success to its great features, among which you will find longevity, durability, a design that faithfully copies wood or stone, and last but not least, a friendly price.

However, even a laminate floor is not immortal. If you want it to last as long as possible, you have to take good care of it. This is because the laminate is prone to scratches, which occur, for example, when moving furniture. How to avoid it?

Before we embark on our proven tips, let's talk about the most common reasons for scratching a laminate floor. These include:

  • fast moving heavy furniture
  • moving furniture without lifting
  • fall of sharp objects on the laminate floor
  • walking in heels on the floor
  • scratches in the floor with a blunt object

How to prevent scratching the floor?

Caution


The most important rule is caution. When making a more significant move, such as moving a heavier chest of drawers, make sure your floor is protected. For example, you can use foot pads to protect the floor when moving.

Be careful in the kitchen as well. A knife or a broken plate can also cause problems on the laminate floor. The ideal solution is, for example, a kitchen tread, which you can place right next to the kitchen unit.

Don't go around the house in shoes

Do not wear shoes when walking around the house. Special high heels, pumps or oxfords could damage the floor very quickly. So, for example, if you are on your way to work and outside, you find that you have forgotten something at home and you have to return, always confess in the hallway.

Take care of the children

During their games, children often do not realize that they can affect the floor surface. Give them a fun rug in the children's room, which will not only protect your floor, but also complete the space. In addition, your baby will sit on the ground as comfortably and warmly as possible.
