Can you put heavy furniture on laminate flooring?
Yes, you can put heavy furniture on laminate flooring, but it's important to take certain precautions to avoid damage:
- Use Furniture Pads: Place felt or rubber pads under the legs of the furniture to distribute the weight more evenly and prevent scratches.
- Lift, Don’t Drag: Always lift heavy furniture instead of dragging it across the floor to prevent scratches and dents.
- Distribute Weight Evenly: Try to distribute the weight of the furniture evenly to avoid putting too much pressure on one spot, which could potentially damage the flooring.
- Consider Area Rugs: Using area rugs under heavy furniture can provide extra protection for your laminate flooring.

Taking these precautions can help maintain the appearance and integrity of your laminate flooring while accommodating heavy furniture.
