You can experience floors that appear like natural hardwood with laminate flooring without the expense of tedious upkeep.

Thanks to incredible advancements in flooring technology, laminate now beautifully mimics the look and feel of natural hardwood. Each plank is crafted with multiple layers of composite wood, topped with a high-definition hardwood visual that gives it an upscale appearance. It's so realistic that many can't immediately tell the difference. But what sets laminate apart are the perks it offers over traditional hardwood:
While laminate offers numerous practical benefits, hardwood flooring still holds a special allure for many homeowners:
Today’s laminate flooring comes in water-resistant and 100% waterproof options. Waterproof laminate further protects your investment from accidents, spills, and moisture. Each plank has a fast-drying surface that wicks moisture and leak-tight seams. Waterproof laminate flooring will keep your subfloor dry and protected, even in moisture-prone spaces like bathrooms, mudrooms, and kitchens.

Most laminate floors are installed as floating floors, requiring no messy glues to adhere the planks together. This flooring is straightforward to install because the planks snap together like tongue and groove to stay in place. The beauty of a floating floor is that you can install it over any other subfloor type without removing the original flooring. Subfloors may be concrete, plywood, hardwood, or vinyl. The laminate rests on top of the original subfloor and is not attached to it with fasteners, nails, screws, grout, or glue. This is a great advantage when installing flooring as it saves the cost of fasteners and the time involved. Having your laminate professionally installed can reduce the installation cost because installing flooring in an entire room takes little time. Floating floors can be installed with underlayment padding that reduces the sounds of walking on them.
Laminate can be installed in any room in your home, but it performs well in below-grade and moisture-prone spaces, so you don’t have to worry. Bedrooms, bathrooms, living rooms, kitchens, hallways, and just about any room you can think of will benefit visually and performance-wise from durable and beautiful laminate flooring.
