In many cases, laminate comes at a better price point than luxury vinyl, while also offering all the same perks. We also offer affordable installation services and our sales professionals are always happy to answer any of your flooring questions.

Laminate vs Hardwood

While today’s laminate looks stunningly similar to natural hardwood, there are a number of key differences. Hardwood floors are made from a premium wood species like hickory, oak, maple, and mahogany. In contrast, laminate planks are created by gluing together several layers of composite wood. At the surface, flooring companies put a photo-realistic image of hardwood that is carefully encased within a protective finish. As a result, laminate appears identical to hardwood, but it’s more resilient to moisture and foot traffic.

Laminate Installation

Laminate installation is known for being easy. Each plank easily snap-locks into place. This creates a floating floor above your subfloor that’s simple to remove and repair. There are also glue-down laminate installations available. Since today’s laminate is available in waterproof varieties, you can install laminate basically anywhere in your home, including kitchens and bathrooms. It’s also popular in basements, laundry rooms, hallways, and living spaces. We also recommend laminate for small-scale commercial spaces like small businesses and offices.
