Things to consider

Water resistance and permitted installation areas vary by product. Compare the manufacturer’s requirements, underlay and edge details before deciding.

WHY LAMINATE

Why homeowners
choose laminate.

01

Highly scratch resistant

Laminate has a hard, clear top layer that holds up well to pets, kids and furniture. Its AC rating tells you how much wear it is built for.

02

Budget friendly

Laminate usually costs less than hardwood while still giving you the look of real wood, which lets you cover more of your home for the same budget.

03

Realistic wood looks

Modern laminate uses detailed wood images and textured surfaces that follow the grain, so it looks and feels close to real wood.

04

Water resistant options

Many newer laminates have water resistant surfaces and sealed edges. They handle everyday spills well, but standing water should still be wiped up quickly.
