Click laminate flooring
is a special kind of flooring that is rather affordable. It imitates the appearance of real wood or other materials. Tru click laminate is extremely easy to install as it is based on the click-wisdom flooring system. Instead of gluing, nailing, or stapling the planks, it just requires the planks to be clicked together. This laminate flooring is also very durable and good for people who suffer allergies because it is difficult to maintain.
There are several types of Tru laminate flooring available for different spaces in a house.
Traditional laminate flooring
Tru laminate is made from particleboard core with an image layer of natural wood grain on top of it. They resemble traditional wooden floors.
Water-resistant Tru laminate
This laminate flooring is made for areas with high moisture. These are places like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms. The laminate has a special coating that prevents damage from water.
Wide plank laminate flooring
Wide-plank Tru laminate flooring is designed in large sizes. These large sizes give modern and minimal aesthetics. The flooring looks like it is made from large hardwood trees. Even though it looks large sized, it is still easy to install since it has the click technology.
Textured laminate flooring
This Tru laminate has an extra finish that makes it look and feel like real wood. The textures include saw marks and knots which enhance the realism of flooring.
High gloss Tru laminate
The high gloss Tru laminate flooring has a shiny finish. The shine brings out the Tru laminate patterns and designs. This kind of flooring is suitable for modern and contemporary decorated houses.
Luxury laminate flooring
Luxury laminate flooring uses technology for improved sound and feel underfoot. It looks closer to luxury vinyl flooring design-wise.
The specifications and upkeep of Tru Click laminate floorings are necessary for the long usage of their floors.
Specification:Laminate water resistance
One of the main specifications of Tru's laminate flooring is the resistance of the flooring to moisture. It features a core made of high-density fiberboard (HDF) that is stably built to prevent warping even in humid environments. The laminate’s surface is shielded with a thick layer of acrylic wear that protects the floor from scratches and dents caused by heavy furniture, pets, or foot traffic.
The flooring has an attached foam underlayment. The underlayment provides comfort to the feet when long hours are spent standing on the floor, reduces noise in the room and in the house altogether, and improves insulation, lowering energy bills.
Maintenance:Maintaining the Tru Click laminate
The maintenance of Tru Click laminate flooring is easy. It is because the flooring is designed with durability in mind. Vacuuming or sweeping the floor daily helps to remove dirt and dust particles that can cause scratches on the flooring surface. For the weekly wash, laminate floor manufacturers advise using a damp mop with a cleaner meant for laminate floors. Homeowners should avoid using wax or polish on the Tru Click laminate because these products can damage the surface.
The floor should also be protected from excessive water. Spills should be cleaned immediately, and water should not be allowed to sit on the surface.
The installation of Tru Click laminate flooring is simple and requires no special tools or professional help. Flooring companies offering Tru Click laminates advise installing the floor over a clean, level, dry, and solid subfloor.
The first step of installing the floor is prepping the subfloor. Homeowners should remove all appliances and furniture from the room where the flooring will be installed. Next, they should check the floor for any imperfections, such as cracks or holes. All these drawbacks should be fixed to ensure a flat surface for the laminate flooring to sit on.
The second step is laying an underlayment. An underlayment is necessary for insulation, sound dampening, and moisture barrier purposes. After the underlayment is laid, the flooring installation using the click system starts.
The flooring companies advise starting installation from the left room corner and working toward the door. A plank should be placed with its tongue side facing the wall. A plank should be placed next to the first with its groove side ended against the tongue. The woven pattern should continue until the first row is completed. Installation of the subsequent rows should be continued in the same way, ensuring that the planks are staggered for at least 6 inches. A laminate flooring installer should use spacers to keep a uniform gap of at least ¼ inches between the flooring and the walls to allow the floor to expand.
The last step is cutting the last plank in every row to fit. A plank from the last row should be cut to a suitable length to fit. The plank's tongue side shouldn't be against the wall. It should be trimmed to allow the plank to fit snugly between the last two rows.
Durability and quality
When choosing Tru Click laminate flooring, buyers should consider how long the flooring will last. Buyer should look for laminate flooring with an AC3 or AC4 rating. The ratings will ensure the flooring is suitable for residential or light commercial use. Laminate flooring with a higher rating will be better for high-traffic areas.
Water resistance
If buyers are buying flooring for humidity-prone areas like bathrooms or kitchens, they should choose Tru laminates with water resistance. These floorings have special moisture-resistant cores.
Thickness of the plank
The thickness of the Tru Click laminate flooring impacts its stability and durability. Laminate flooring from trusted brands is usually 8mm to 12mm thick. Buyer's selection of thickness should be based on the traffic of the area where the floor will be installed.
Warranty
Different manufacturers offer varying warranties. Buyers should check the warranty period for wear and tear, water damage, and fading. A long warranty period is an indicator of flooring trustworthiness.
Costs and budget
Budget is another factor that influences the choice of Tru Click laminate flooring. Buyers should set a budget before shopping so that they will not be overwhelmed by the varieties available in the market. Costs of laminates will depend on their quality, brand, features included like water resistance, and the design that the buyer prefers.
