First, regular laminate wood flooring should be discussed, to cover the pros and cons of installing such a style of flooring in your home. Laminate wood flooring is not made from real wood, but can be put down on the floor to give the look of wood. It is very easy to install and can be done quickly; unfortunately, it will not increase the value of your home, since it is not real wood, but it will give it a look and feel that you can enjoy. The problem with laminate wood flooring is just that it does not do a good enough job; it does not mimic real wood flooring in a way that is always convincing, so it will come off looking less appealing than it could. That is where distressed laminate wood floor comes into the picture, since it can fix this lone problem that laminate wood flooring has faced for years.
Authentic, Rustic Look
The distressed aspect of the wood flooring means that it resembles boards that were just scraped, a historical tradition that can be found going back through all of recorded history. This makes the wood flooring look authentic and real, even though it is not. It lends to your rooms a sense of beautiful and authenticity that guests and family members alike will see and appreciate.

As far as installation is concerned, this is still one of the main benefits of distressed laminate wood flooring over actual wood flooring. The separate planks are made in the style of tongue and groove siding, which has been proven successful in siding houses for years. This means that you just have to fit these different planks together, something that anyone can do with very little effort or knowledge of woodworking or flooring. They are designed to snap together with ease.
Low Maintenance
This design of distressed laminate wood flooring also makes maintenance very easy. You can do most of the cleaning with a vacuum, using a mop if you need to for a bit more powerful cleaning process. The tongue and groove design is ideal, however, because you can simply swap one plank for another if a plank becomes damaged. You will not have to replace the entire floor. You will also not end up with a section of flooring that looks significantly different from the rest, as could happen with real wood flooring; since the distressed laminate wood flooring is all designed to look the same, you can replace it and never see the difference.
Affordability
The main benefit of distressed laminate wood flooring is, undoubtedly, the price. This is a much cheaper way to make your house look elegant and beautiful. It is a much cheaper way to replace your floors and end up with tough, dependable, wooden floors. Real wood is very expensive, since there is so much demand for it in other industries as well — industries such as paper production or home frame design. Distressed laminate wood flooring does not suffer from this, as it is not needed for anything else, and so it can be found for a much lower price. If you are willing to sacrifice the knowledge that you have real wood floors, you will find distressed laminate wood flooring to be a much better option.
Distressed laminate wood flooring is transforming the flooring industry. It has made laminate wood flooring a viable option, since it looks like real wood flooring in a way that has never before been possible. It may not add value to the home on the open market, but it can save you a lot of money and add value to your everyday life, as you enjoy the flooring.
