So you just fitted your new hardwood flooring in one room of your home and now you want to install a transition strip, in order to bridge the gap between the two surfaces.

Matching an existing hardwood floor with a new one can be quite a challenging task. Whether your old floor is partly damaged and you want to repair it, or you just want to add more hardwood on to the current wood floors as a part of your renovating project, there is a lot to consider. In any case, when trying to blend a new wood floor with the pre-existent, it is important to minimize the visual differences and create the impression that the surface was always like this.

Laminate flooring is a popular alternative solution for those seeking the look of real wood. Apart from the fact that it is much cheaper than a solid wood floor, one of it's biggest advantages is its low level of maintenance. It is designed to be easy-care and once installed you won't need to spend much time for it's cleaning. However, this doesn't mean that is "bullet proof".

Hence, cleaning your laminate floors on a regular basis is vital.
