Cherry Laminate Flooring for Your Home

A popular choice of laminate for those looking for something slightly different is cherry laminate flooring. Cherry has rich earth tones and can bring a warmth and richness to any home. Many consumers wrongly believe that cherry timber always has to be really red or very dark, however when you actually look at a cherry laminate floor you'll see that you can enjoy the warm cherry tones without actually going too red or dark for your tastes.

There are several manufacturers that offer cherry laminate floors. Three of the most popular are Westhollow, Quick Step, and BHK. All offer great products, but each is a bit different. Some consumers may find that one is perhaps a bit easier to install than the others, or maybe one is more affordable than the other brands. There are many other brands that also offer cherry laminates, so a homeowner should shop around before settling on one brand or color of laminate.

Westhollow offers a whole range of cherry laminates, including Mellow Cherry, this choice is a great compromise for people that want the cherry without all of the really bright or overcoming red or pink tones. Mellow Cherry retails at around a very reasonable $2.00 a square foot. Biltmore Cherry is also offered by Westhollow and it is a more classic variation of the typical cherry hardwoods, so it's a very warm laminate flooring with dark red undertones. 

Quick Step is another popular brand of cherry laminated flooring. Natural Varnished Cherry is just one of their splendid offerings with its very natural coloration which is quite remarkable, especially when you see it next to one of Quick Step's other flooring selections such as Select Cherry. Select Cherry is not overly red or bright, but it is very natural looking and will add warmth to your home instantly.

BHK is another of the reputable cherry laminated floor manufacturers and they have some beautiful products. One is Rustic cherry, which is almost white but has a cherry undertone that is simply beautiful. This flooring retails for about $2 per sq ft which is remarkably affordable. On the other end of the BHK laminate product line is Black Cherry which is the essence of what most people visualize when you mention cherry wood.

Laminated cherry flooring is a good choice for those that want to add the warmth and beauty of cherrywood to their home without the effort that comes with a traditional wooden floor. Laminate flooring is truly built to be utilized and doesn't just have one layer, but usually at least three including a surface wear layer, the core, and the backing. The surface layer is usually made of heavy duty aluminum oxide so that the core of the laminate is left in great condition year after year. If you are looking for a stunning wood floor for your living or work space, but don't want to deal with the bother of real wood, give cherry laminate a look today!
