Laminate Flooring

If you would like the look of real wood flooring but want the ease of installation, long-lasting durability, and a more affordable option, laminate is what you're looking for.

Laminate flooring was first introduced in the United States in 1996 and has been successfully sold in Europe for many years. Many people may still be familiar with the term Pergo, a common laminate brand name and the first company to offer it in the U.S.

The Benefits of Laminate

* Laminate resists dents, fading and stains, and at first glance it's difficult to tell laminate and real hardwood flooring apart.

* Laminate flooring can be installed over areas that are flat and stable like tile, vinyl and sub-floor.

* Laminate flooring systems are floating, which means they do not fasten directly to the plywood subfloor (or any other existing floor). Instead, they use a click together interlocking system which holds the material together while allowing the subfloor below to move independently of the laminate.
