Laminate vs. Hardwood Flooring

When first introduced, it was hard to pass laminate as an alternative to real hardwood flooring. Changes in manufacturing and advances in digital printing technology have transformed laminate into what it is today. Laminate continues to remain affordable while also delivering high-quality style and increased durability.

Laminate requires fewer steps to produce compared to hardwood, therefore it is less expensive to make and sell. Laminate planks are long lasting, can resist scratches and dents, and do not need to be refinished. Many laminate brands are coming out with waterproof options in addition to their water resistant ones. If you live in an active household and need a durable floor, then laminate may be the best option for you.

Laminate Installation

You can install laminate flooring anywhere in your home you would install hardwood, and more. For example, you can install laminate in bedrooms, living rooms, offices, and children’s playrooms. Since most laminate options are resistant to moisture, you can also install it in kitchens and basements. Their layered construction makes them resistant to heavy traffic and able to withstand daily activity. They also will not react to changes in humidity or weather.
