What is Laminate Flooring?
Laminate is a multi-layer synthetic flooring product fused together with a lamination process. It is designed for realistic visuals and exceptional performance.
THE FOUR-LAYER COMPOSITION
Wear Layer: A clear, durable protective layer that resists scratches, stains, fading, and wear.
Design Layer: A high-definition photographic image that flawlessly mimics the look of natural materials like hardwood, slate, or tile.
Core Layer: A sturdy, high-density fiberboard (HDF) that provides structural stability, impact resistance, and helps prevent warping.
Backing Layer: A moisture-resistant layer that protects the core from dampness, helping to balance the plank and prevent cupping.
Design Flexibility: Unlock Any Look
Modern laminate flooring offers an unparalleled range of design choices, allowing you to perfectly match your home's aesthetic.
Wood Looks: Choose from classic oak, modern maple, rich cherry, or exotic wood patterns. Options include wide planks, narrow strips, beveled edges, and hand-scraped textures.
Stone & Tile Looks: Replicate the look of marble, travertine, or slate without the cold feel or complex grouting.
Finish: From low-gloss matte to semi-gloss sheens, you can achieve the exact look and feel you desire.

Absolutely. Modern, professionally installed hardwood adds significant value to your home. Depending on your choice, materials like refinishable hardwood are backed by residential warranties ranging up to 50+ years, making it a multi-decade investment.
While both are durable and cost-effective alternatives to hardwood, LVP is made primarily of PVC composites, giving it superior waterproof capabilities. Laminate is wood-based and generally offers excellent durability and scratch resistance but is typically not considered waterproof.
