What is Laminate Flooring?
Laminate is installed in planks made up of four main layers. The surface layer is several layers of melamine with aluminum oxide for durability. The next layer is the paper layer where the look of the laminate is printed. This paper layer can be printed to take on the look of any other hard flooring including stone, hardwood, and ceramic tile.
Under the paper is a wood fiber core that is often soaked in resins to provide water resistance. The bottom is an underlay that serves several purposes including a vapor barrier to further increase water resistance, and cushion to prevent the floor from being loud when walked on. It’s made to be beautiful and durable but remains affordable.

Advantages of Laminate Flooring:
- Durability – Laminate is highly water resistant (not waterproof), highly scratch resistant, dent resistant, and handles temperature fluctuations well.
- Ease of Installation – Laminate is a floating floor. Each plank clicks together easily without the need for glue or nails. It can be laid over almost any other flooring and makes for a fun DIY project.
- Affordable Style – Laminate flooring has options to look exactly like high-end hardwood, ceramic, or stone flooring without the hefty price tag.
- Maintenance – Easy cleanup with a broom and damp mop. Laminate does not require refinishing every 10 years like solid hardwood can.
