LESLIE: Leroy in Delaware is on the line with a flooring question. What can we do for you?
LEROY: I have a question on the laminated flooring. Number one is: is it a solid color all the way through? And number two, where I would be using this has chairs with rollers on them. And I was wondering if you thought that would hold up with it being the chairs had rollers on them.
TOM: Alright. So, first of all, is this solid color all the way through? No, that’s not the way laminate floors work. So the way laminate floors work is you have different types of composite materials and then you have sort of the color layer, which is essentially sort of a photograph. And then you have the wear layer on top of that, which can be textured so it could look like stone or feel like stone, I should say, or wood boards.
Now, this textured sort of wear-layer surface, it’s available in different levels of durability. Some floors are designed for light use, some floors are designed for commercial use. If you buy a tougher floor, one of the better-quality floors that’s designed for the heavier use, I don’t think you can have any trouble with those chairs on the rollers.
Now, are all the chairs on rollers or is this like a desk-chair situation?
LEROY: Actually, it’s a kitchen table with four chairs and rollers on them.
TOM: Oh, OK, alright. Yeah, I think that a laminate floor is a good choice for that. But like I said, you’ve got to buy a good-quality one.
LEROY: OK. Thank you.
TOM: You’re welcome. Thanks so much for calling us at 888-MONEY-PIT.
