Laminate vs Hardwood Flooring

Laminate is no longer the cheap flooring you used to think it was. With advances in digital printing, laminate can now replicate the authentic look of hardwood flooring. From details all the way down to grains, knots, and textures, you can have affordable wood look flooring in your home without ever having to buy hardwood. Every detail is captured in the image layer all the way down to grains and knot patterns, and many options are embossed to feel like wood.

The low cost of laminate is associated with the fact that it does not have to be harvest or milled like natural hardwood. These floors are the perfect option for households that see a lot of activity or families with pets and children running around. The surface finish can range from high-gloss to satin, depending on your personal style and does not need to be refinished like hardwood.

Types of Laminate Flooring

For those with their sights set on laminate flooring, there are several product families to choose from. Laminate is sold in varying levels of thickness, ranging from 6 to 12 mm. A laminate’s thickness determines many vital factors, including impact-resistance and sound insulation. Those with subfloors that aren’t completely level or have other imperfections should choose a thicker laminate product, as a general rule of thumb. There are glue-less laminate flooring options, as well as laminates that require adhesive.

Laminate Planks

For the most realistic hardwood looks, consider a laminate plank for your upcoming project. Made to mimic the dimensions of traditional hardwood planks, laminate is a lot less expensive. Another advantage of laminate planks: laminate can readily replicate the looks of your favorite hardwood species, even if the “real deal” is too fragile for your family.

Laminate Tile

Made to capture the look of stone, ceramic, or porcelain tile, laminate tile is a lot more affordable. Laminate tile achieves this by using digital photography to create convincing visuals that can also stand up to heavy usage, moisture, and scratches.

Is Laminate Flooring Durable?

Laminate flooring is constructed of a wear layer that protects a decorative sheet layer that gives laminate its wood look characteristics. Its rigid core and bottom balance layer help prevent warping from moisture. Laminate floors are now made to be durable, easy to maintain, and are now more resistant to stains, fading, moisture, and scratches. Laminate floors come in a wide variety of styles and patterns to meet the needs of everyone’s personal style
