Trafficmaster Laminate Flooring:The Flooring That Lasts a Lifetime
Beautiful flooring always makes a home look better. I find my home’s flooring very important and I place great value on it. That is why when considering what flooring I should use; I always spend a great deal of time thinking about it. Among the many wood flooring I have come to appreciate is the Trafficmaster laminate flooring. Basically, a Trafficmaster laminate floor is appealing to the eyes, it is usable for both indoors and outdoors purposes, it is built to last, installing it is easy, requires low maintenance, and dimply amazing. If you are thinking what wood flooring you would get for your own home, I have no problem recommending Trafficmaster laminate flooring.
Installation Made Easy
When you install a Trafficmaster laminate floor, you need not go through the hassle of installing a padding layer. Some wood flooring would require the installation of a padding layer right before the planks themselves are installed. Trafficmaster laminate floors however can be directly placed on top of any sub floor types. Of course, you cannot place it over carpeting. The paneling for this flooring is tongue and groove. I believe that is how all laminate floors are. Other laminate flooring however would require the application adhesives in the tongue and groove area. The Trafficmaster laminate flooring however does not need such fuss. This is the reason why I said installation of this flooring is quiet easy.
The Good Thing about Trafficmaster Laminate Flooring
Installing Trafficmaster glueless laminate flooring is indeed very easy. But that is not the only thing that’s good about this product. Trust me, there are lots more. This flooring is very durable. It would not be usable for outdoors too if it isn’t what it claims. Most wood flooring has to be taken care of a lot. There are also a lot of limitations imposed on it. Some of these are taking care not to spill something on the flooring, avoiding scratches from furniture, shoes, and pets, cleaning regularly with specially designed cleaners, and a lot others.
With the Trafficmaster laminate flooring though, it is no problem if you let your kids run around it or if they play with pets. The surface of this flooring is not easily scratched so you need not worry. Cleaning this flooring is as I have already said, very easy. Vacuuming or sweeping are the only necessary steps you need to take to maintain it. If the dirt cannot be vacuumed or swept, then you only need to wipe the flooring with damp cloth. You heard me right, no need to concern yourself about moisture exposure.
Replacement
I believe that if you have Trafficmaster glueless laminate flooring, you will find little reason to replace it. It does not get damaged easily. However, if you really need to replace damaged parts, replacement is easy. Remember that it is glue less plus there is no prior padding layer. So replacing only involves taking out the damaged parts then putting in new ones. Then you are done.

Hi, I just installed the tarffic Master laminate flooring and need to know how to clean it. It says in the instructions to clean it with conventional plastic floor wipe cleaner. I looked at the store, no one seems to know what this product is. If anyone has the name of a product I should please let me know.
Thanks

We needed to replace one board in the middle that started to chip. We had half of the floor up and ready to put back down and when we went to buy another box of flooring, the store told us they no longer make that style. So now we have 3/4 of our floor done but no one has the laminate that we need. The floor is not even 2 years old. So now what are we to do. Luckinly we are still doing other remodeling in the kitchen so it is not bothering me to have part of the floor not covered, but what are we going to do? I am not going to buy a whole new floor for the whole room again after only 2 years. That is ridiculous!! Where can I find the exact flooring that I need to finish? Home Depot, Lowes, Menards, no one has it that locks the way ours does.

That’s not happen to you only. Many customer don’t really know the nature of laminate flooring industry. It’s almost like fashion, they will discontinue production of old types after new types launched!
So, for new buyer of laminate floor; make sure that you save several square feet for future plank replacement.
And for Jennifer case, I have two suggestions:
1. Ask for replacement planks directly to the manufacturer. Send them email with specific information of your laminate floor (types and color), let’s hope they have few square feet left in their warehouse.
2. If number 1 doesn’t succeed, you can put other color/types, in fashion of an inlay. It will make sense if the inlay placed in the center of the room.

We put TrafficMaster laminate floors in out kitchen about 7months ago. I HATE IT!! spend the extra money and get a good laminate not all are created equal. I have a 2yr old and my floor already has scratches and nicks all over it. The worst part is keeping it clean. I tried several special laminate cleaners and the only one that I found that works half way decent is Bruce sold at lowes, however it still leaves a residue on my floors. The best thing I have found to keep my floors clean without leaving any residue is the Haan Steamer Sanitizer…..LOVE IT! can buy it at QVC.

We had TrafficMaster Glacier Oak professionally installed last year. It looks awful and is coming apart in several areas–not to mention the scratching everywhere. We’ve been looking for replacement pieces with no luck. How does one collect on the 10 year warranty?

We installed allure hickory into our basement about 6 months ago. It is curling up around all the seems. I saw an earlier comment that the floor needed room to expand. Well, ours has contracted, leaving gaps between the ends on many of the pieces.
I have considered purchasing some sort of glue and attempting to glue it down where it is curling up, but I assume this would void the warranty.
Anyone have advice?
