Understanding Laminate’s Durability
Laminate floors are made from a high-density core layer topped with a tough wear layer. This outer layer is designed to resist everyday scuffs and scratches from foot traffic, furniture, or pet claws. However, cheaper laminate or poor-quality finishes are more vulnerable to damage.
Tips to Prevent Scratches
- Use Felt Pads: Place these under furniture legs to avoid friction when moving chairs or tables.
- Protect Entryways: Use rugs or mats at all doors to catch dirt, sand, and moisture.
- Keep Pets Groomed: Regular nail trimming helps protect your laminate surface
- Lift, Don’t Drag: Always lift heavy objects instead of sliding them across the floor.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Stick to solutions designed for laminate floors to avoid stripping the finish.

Should You DIY?
Learning how to install laminate flooring yourself is possible if you’re experienced with home improvement projects. However, improper installation can lead to loose planks or visible seams—problems that reduce the floor’s lifespan.
