Since we have made the decision to move to a less rocky location in our golden years we also decided that we need to do some of those upgrades that we have been putting off. Replacing our living room flooring is one of the very few improvements we will need to do. We looked into carpet, refinishing our present wood floors and a few other options. Most would not suit mountain living. After much research, discussion and deliberation laminate flooring looked to be the best option.

Laminate flooring  is a common type of flooring that consists of a layer of materials laminated together to form a very attractive and durable floor. With three pets and living on the side of a mountain we need a floor that is durable yet still attractive. The back half of our home is carpeted with commercial carpet that is easy to maintain. Anything spilled is easily cleaned up and it does not show the wear or traffic. Dog hair is easily vacuumed up. Most people do not fully understand how living on the side of a mountain can be a constant challenge for your indoor flooring. In the winter you can’t help but track in snow even with our mud room. We have never been able to teach our dogs how to wipe their feet so 12 paws do track in a lot of the outside. In the spring time it is more mud or dirt. Other times it is just small pebbles that get caught in the bottom of our boots or dirt.
