Why Laminate?

Finding a quality floor for a decent price can be hard, but it doesn’t have to be. Laminate floors are an affordable alternative to natural materials and their luxury vinyl counterparts. Below are some of the reasons people opt for laminate flooring:

Affordability

Laminate is more cost-effective than traditional hardwood flooring. It offers a nature-inspired look that makes it nearly indistinguishable from the real thing. If you want the hardwood look on a budget, laminate is the perfect pick up for you.

Variety of Styles

Laminate is also known for its versatility. Its high-definition image layer allows it to simulate the look of any number of natural hardwoods. Think of it like snapping the perfect picture and transferring it to the floor. We can also simulate natural textures and patterns.

Installation Made Easy

Installing laminate flooring isn’t hard, which means this option can save you time and money. All we have to do is click-and-lock each plank into place—no need to glue every single plank!

Scratch Resistance

Our homes are busy places—that’s one of the reasons laminate flooring works so well. These floors can handle wear and tear, especially in homes with pets and busy households. Its protective wear layer also helps it resist scratches, dents, and fading.

Low Maintenance

Cleaning laminate flooring is simple—they don’t require any special treatments or refinishing. A quick sweep and occasional damp (not wet) mop will keep them in top shape. This option is great for anyone wanting a beautiful floor without the additional upkeep.

Our quality products are available online and in our showrooms across the Carolinas. Come speak to one of our flooring experts, book an in-home consultation or browse our online catalog to discover quality products like the ones below:

Laminate Planks

Probably the best known type of laminate flooring, these planks are designed to mimic the appearance of hardwood. Available at a fraction of the price, installation is fairly straightforward. Laminate flooring installation uses a simple click-and-lock system. The planks snap together like puzzle pieces for an elegant, cohesive look.

Laminate Tiles

More commonly referred to as floating wood tiles, laminate tiles are another viable option. They are designed to imitate the appearance of natural stone and ceramic tile. These tiles also use the click-and-lock installation method, which is less complex than traditional tile that uses glue and grout.

FAQs About Laminate

What is laminate flooring best for?

Laminate flooring is ideal for high-traffic areas like living rooms, hallways, and entryways due to its durability and resistance to wear. It’s a practical choice for households with kids and pets but should be avoided in high-moisture areas unless using water-resistant laminate.
