What is laminate flooring made of?

Laminate flooring is a layered product engineered for durability and long-lasting performance. Each layer serves a different purpose.

The top wear layer protects against scratches, stains, and fading. Beneath it, a high-definition design layer recreates the look of hardwood, stone, or tile with remarkable realism. The dense fiberboard core provides strength and stability, while the backing layer helps resist moisture and supports the plank.

Together, these layers create flooring that delivers attractive style with everyday durability.

Why choose laminate flooring?

Laminate flooring continues to be one of today's most popular flooring options because it offers exceptional value and versatility.

Benefits include:

Realistic hardwood and stone visuals
Excellent scratch and dent resistance
Easy maintenance
Budget-friendly pricing
Fade-resistant finishes
Comfortable underfoot
Fast installation
Great for busy households

Many newer collections also feature water-resistant or waterproof laminate flooring. While traditional laminate is not waterproof, these advanced products provide additional protection against everyday spills, making them a smart choice for kitchens, entryways, and other active areas.

Which laminate flooring style is right for your home?

Laminate flooring is available in styles that complement nearly every home.

Wood-look laminate remains the most popular option, offering realistic oak, maple, hickory, walnut, and other hardwood visuals. Embossed textures and natural grain patterns create an authentic appearance.

Stone-look laminate captures the beauty of slate, marble, concrete, and travertine while providing a warmer, more comfortable surface than natural stone.

You'll also find narrow and wide plank options, along with smooth, embossed, hand-scraped, and wire-brushed textures that help create either a traditional or contemporary design.

Our design consultants can help you compare styles and coordinate your new flooring with cabinets, countertops, paint colors, and other finishes throughout your home.

How do you choose the right laminate flooring color?

Light-colored laminate creates an open, airy feeling and works well in smaller spaces. Medium tones remain popular because they complement almost any decorating style and help hide everyday dust. Dark floors add warmth and sophistication, while gray and natural wood tones continue to be favorites for modern homes.

During your free in-home estimate, we'll bring flooring samples so you can compare colors in your home's natural lighting.

What is an AC rating in laminate flooring?

The AC rating measures how well laminate flooring resists wear.

AC1: Light residential use
AC2: Moderate residential use
AC3: Heavy residential and light commercial use
AC4: General commercial applications
AC5: High-traffic commercial settings

For most homes, AC3 laminate flooring provides excellent durability, while households with heavier traffic may benefit from AC4 products.

How do you clean and maintain laminate floors?

Laminate flooring is easy to maintain with a simple routine.

Sweep or vacuum regularly using a hard-floor setting to remove dirt and grit. Damp mop occasionally with a laminate-approved cleaner, but avoid excessive water. Clean up spills quickly, place felt pads under furniture, and use entry mats to reduce tracked-in dirt.

Avoid steam mops, abrasive scrubbers, waxes, and oil-based cleaners, as they can damage the flooring's protective finish.
