Laminate
A popular choice for those who are on a budget but want something more appealing than vinyl sheet flooring.
Covered with a photorealistic image of wood or stone and a protective layer on top, laminate flooring are planks or tiles made from particleboard wood that has been subjected to high heat and intense pressure.
Get the Classic Wood or Tile Look for Less
The realistic look and texture of real wood or tile is laminate flooring’s biggest benefit. If you want the look of wood, stone or tile but not the cost - laminate flooring is a proven lower-cost alternative. It is affordable because it is mainly a man-made mass produced product using cheap, readily available materials. Also, because it is easier to install, DIY homeowners can save on the cost of professional installation.
Ease of Installation
Laminate flooring lends itself well to DIY homeowners, particularly those who want good looking floors but are on a budget. It installs quickly and easily using tongue and groove locking systems that are simple enough even for those without a contractor license.
Durability
With the top layer coated with aluminum oxide, laminate holds up well to scratches, dents and fading. This so called wear layer is so tough that some manufacturers even provide a warranty of 10 years and up.
Easy to Clean and Maintain
For busy households or businesses, cleaning and maintenance of their flooring is not on the top of their to-do list. This is another reason that makes laminate a good flooring option. It is easy to clean and keep looking great. No floor waxing required, regular sweeping or vacuuming will keep your flooring in tip-top condition.
