We are your local expert when it comes to laminate flooring (or any flooring, for that matter). If you need new flooring that is durable and made to last, laminate flooring is a perfect choice. What if you’re dreaming of hardwood flooring, but you’re on a budget? Laminate flooring is a durable option that can replicate the authentic look of natural flooring, and our selection features a wide variety of styles to choose from. Here’s a quick guide to all things laminate flooring and how it can work for you!
When laminate was originally introduced it was primarily used as a budget-friendly alternative for tile and wood in areas like kitchens and living spaces. Today, laminate is much more than your average faux tile or wood. Changes in manufacturing and advances in digital printing technology have transformed laminate into an aesthetically pleasing and durable flooring option that won’t break the bank. But what is laminate? It is made from synthetic materials that resemble the look of authentic hardwood. Laminate has multiple layers made of different types of materials:
An inner core board
A decorative photo image layer
A top “wear layer” (a.k.a. “overlay”) to protect it from wear & tear
Our collection of laminate flooring will surprise you with how detailed and authentic it looks, replicating natural flooring options such as wood and tile.
When it comes to choosing the perfect flooring for you, the options can seem endless. So which flooring option works best for your space? Well, that depends. Many may think laminate is a cheap option compared to real hardwood or vinyl flooring, therefore making it the least desirable in terms of looks. However, you can still have the same aesthetic appeal as hardwood or vinyl but in a durable laminate option!
Compared to real hardwood flooring, laminate is a durable and less-expensive option. And we still offer plenty of wood-look styles!
Laminate is made up of man-made materials which make it more durable and less expensive to manufacture compared to hardwood.
Laminate planks do not have to be refinished and are resistant to dents and scratches, and moisture.
Compared to luxury vinyl flooring, laminate is a stylish and comfortable option.
When it comes to appearance and style, laminate flooring wins every time! This is thanks to its printed image and realistic embossing.
Because it is made from wood byproducts and sealed with a resin layer instead of PVC plastics, laminate is thicker than vinyl. This lends to a warmer, softer feel when standing or walking on it.
The short answer: anywhere you would install a hardwood floor! However, they are just as versatile as vinyl, thanks to their water-resistant and scratch-resistant make. Plus, laminate flooring is ideal for households with family pets or for homeowners who entertain frequently.
