Durable style for every room - laminate is incredibly versatile.
Laminate floors function well in any space given their many different styles and colors. You can choose from natural colors and dark wood grains as well as warm or cool color tones to complement any room décor in your home. And if the “plank” look interests you, many hardwood plank designs are offered in laminate, including rare, exotic wood species.
Laminate stone and tile patterns will give you the elegant look of tile but without the concerns of grout cleaning or cracking tile. This is something you might want to consider. And if yours is a busy household with children, a durable, low-maintenance product like laminate flooring is a great choice for your active lifestyle. Plus, because laminate flooring is stain-resistant, it doesn’t need to be varnished or waxed. Laminate floors are also less likely to fade in direct sunlight, unlike aging hardwood floors.
Our installation professionals ensure your laminate looks the way you want and lasts as long as you expect it to.
FAQs About Laminate Flooring
What makes laminate flooring different from hardwood or vinyl?
Laminate flooring is designed to mimic the look of natural materials like hardwood or stone but at a lower cost. Unlike hardwood, laminate has a high-density fiberboard (HDF) core with a durable wear layer, making it more scratch-resistant and moisture-resistant. Compared to vinyl, laminate offers a more realistic wood texture and a firmer feel underfoot.
Is laminate flooring a good option for homes with pets and kids?
Laminate flooring is an excellent choice for busy households with pets and children. It’s scratch-resistant, easy to clean, and highly durable, making it a practical solution for areas with high foot traffic. Plus, its protective top layer helps resist stains and accidents, making maintenance a breeze.
How long does laminate flooring last?
With proper care, laminate flooring can last 15-25 years. The lifespan depends on the quality of the product, the thickness of the wear layer, and maintenance habits. Choosing a higher-quality laminate with a thicker wear layer will help it stand up to everyday use for decades.
How does modern laminate differ?
Today’s laminate flooring has come a long way from the shiny, artificial-looking styles of the past. Modern laminate uses advanced printing technology and embossed textures to create realistic wood, stone, and tile designs that closely mimic natural materials. With wider planks, matte finishes, and deeper grain textures, today’s laminate looks more authentic than ever. Plus, there’s a huge variety of colors, patterns, and styles, so you can find the perfect look for any home—whether you love classic oak, trendy gray tones, or rustic reclaimed wood.
How do you clean and maintain laminate floors?
Laminate floors are low-maintenance and easy to clean. Regular sweeping or vacuuming removes dust and debris, while a damp mop with a laminate-friendly cleaner keeps them looking fresh. Avoid excessive water, steam mops, or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the floor’s surface.
Can laminate flooring be refinished or repaired?
Unlike hardwood, laminate cannot be sanded or refinished, but damaged planks can often be replaced individually. If you expect heavy wear, choosing a laminate with a high AC (Abrasion Class) rating can help ensure long-term durability.
