First of all, there’s the price. Laminate is more cost-effective than buying hardwood, and yet it is nearly indistinguishable from the real thing. If you want the hardwood look on a budget, laminate is the perfect choice. Second, laminate is more durable than hardwood, which is susceptible to scratching and moisture damage. If you have pets or small children in the house, you may not have the time to maintain expensive hardwood floors. With laminate, there’s less worry when it comes to wear and tear. With many different textures to choose from, low-gloss finishes and a heavy-duty wear layer, laminate is highly resistant to stains and spills. Laminate is also known for its versatility. Our product designers can simulate the look of any number of natural hardwood, using digital photographic techniques and transferring it to the floor. We can also replicate natural textures and patterns, creating the look of real wood flooring.
