Durability of Laminate Flooring

The Durability of Laminate Flooring: Why It’s Ideal for Busy Calgary Families

If your home is always bustling with activity—kids running in and out, pets playing, and everyday life happening all at once—you need flooring that can keep up. Laminate flooring in Calgary is a top choice for families who want a durable, stylish, and low-maintenance option that stands up to daily wear and tear.

Let’s break down why it’s the perfect fit for active households—and how Deerfoot Carpet & Flooring can help you find the right flooring for your home!

Built to Handle Calgary’s Climate

Calgary’s weather can be unpredictable—cold, snowy winters and dry summers can wreak havoc on certain types of flooring. Unlike hardwood, which expands and contracts with temperature changes, laminate is designed to be moisture-resistant and warp-resistant, making it a dependable year-round choice. Whether it’s wet boots in winter or dust in the summer, laminate holds up against Calgary’s unique climate challenges.

Scratch-Resistant and Pet-Friendly

Pets are part of the family but can be tough on floors. Claws, accidents, and messes can leave permanent damage on other flooring types. Laminate flooring features a scratch-resistant surface, making it an excellent option for homes with dogs or cats. Plus, it’s easy to clean—sweeping and mopping are all it takes to keep your floors looking fresh!

Kid-Proof and Stain-Resistant

Spills, dropped toys, and constant foot traffic? No problem. Laminate flooring is designed to be stain-resistant and impact-resistant, making it a fantastic choice for homes with young children. Unlike carpet, which absorbs liquids and stains, laminate allows for quick and easy clean-ups, so you can spend more time enjoying family life and less time worrying about messes.

Low Maintenance & Long-Lasting

Busy families don’t have time for high-maintenance flooring. Laminate is incredibly easy to maintain, requiring just regular sweeping and the occasional damp mop. Unlike hardwood, which needs refinishing, or carpet, which can trap dirt and allergens, laminate flooring stays looking great with minimal effort.

Eco-Friendly and Affordable

If sustainability is a priority for your family, you’ll be happy to know that many laminate flooring options are made with recycled materials, making them a more eco-friendly choice than traditional hardwood. Plus, laminate gives you the luxurious look of wood or stone at a fraction of the cost—so you can have stunning floors without breaking the bank.

How Deerfoot Carpet & Flooring Can Help

Choosing the right laminate flooring for your home doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Deerfoot Carpet has been helping Calgary families find the perfect flooring for decades, offering a wide range of high-quality laminate options that fit your lifestyle and budget.

The biggest difference? Laminate flooring is made from high-density fiberboard with a printed wood-look layer, while linoleum is crafted from natural materials like linseed oil and wood flour. Understanding these key distinctions can help you decide which option is the best fit for your home.
