Laminate Flooring
Laminate floors offer the look of hardwoods within a more modest budget. Laminate is extremely durable and resistant to surface scratches and wear and tear. It typically is made of a fiberboard core with a top layer that is designed to imitate the appearance of real wood.
For the best results, laminate should be installed over an underlayment or sound barrier designed specifically for laminate. Laminate is a fantastic choice for busy homes with children and pets.
What is laminate flooring?
​Laminate flooring is a synthetic flooring product that has multiple layers that are fused together using an industrial lamination process. Lots of homeowners on a budget prefer laminate flooring because of its low cost and because it simulates wood or tile or stone or almost any surface with a photographic applique layer, that can look incredibly real, all under a strong, clear protective layer. Underneath this applique layer is an inner core layer that is quite often made up of fiber board materials and a melamine resin.
Why choose laminate?
Laminate is perfectly suited to customers that want the look and feel of real stone or hardwood but without the maintenance or cost typically associated with natural products. Laminate flooring is significantly cheaper than natural stone tile or hardwood floors. The reality is that laminate appears to enjoy widespread popularity among those looking for durable, beautiful, and cost-effective flooring for their homes.
