Laminate flooring could meet all your needs

When it was first introduced to the US market years ago, laminate was widely praised for its affordability, high water resistance, durability, low maintenance, and easy installation. Today, this product has evolved into a high-end style with countless colors, styles, and patterns. There is also a waterproof version making it suitable for installation in every room, including the kitchen and bath, where it was once avoided.

High style, affordable prices

With this product, you can have the beauty of the wood without moisture concerns or the price tag because the best laminate flooring looks and feels just like the real thing. The design layer consists of images taken with 3D photography, so they have clarity and vibrancy. It is cut into planks and has micro beveling and deep embossing to add depth, dimension, and textured appearances such as wire-brushed, hand scraped, weathered, and distressed.

Since it follows the trends, you can get everything from light woods, including gray, to whitewashed floors, high variation, textures, and wide planks. If you prefer stone and tile looks, it can be cut into groutable squares to echo marble, granite, limestone, slate, terrazzo, and travertine looks. The ceramic tile mimics come in bold colors and exciting patterns, including chevrons, herringbones, encaustic styles, filigrees, and more.

Flooring thickness matters

This comes in a range of thicknesses; if possible, go for a 10-mm or 12-mm thickness, not including any underlayments. A thicker surface will give the authentic feel of a hard surface, hide subfloor imperfections, and offer more design options. Laminate's layered, so there should be a top, robust and transparent aluminum oxide wear layer to protect the floor from scratches and scuffs.

It's also low maintenance, requiring daily sweeping and periodic mopping with a manufacturer-approved cleaner. Installation can be a snap when it's a floating floor where pieces click together, mat, and hover over the subfloor with no nails or glue. Subfloors need to be clean, dry, and level.
