For those who appreciate the beauty of hardwood and stone but are concerned about maintenance or budget, laminate flooring can be the perfect compromise. With modern manufacturing methods, gone is the flooring of the past that looked as cheap as its price tag. Today’s laminate is shockingly realistic, capturing the colors, scale, and surface texture of the real thing. Laminate is sturdy, easy to clean, and simple to install–all within a sensible budget.
Water resistant laminate is a multi-layer, synthetic product fused together using a lamination process. The inner core is made up of high density composite board materials that repel water, which is then topped with a printed layer, and finally a wear layer to protect the plank below. The result is an economical alternative to engineered or solid wood flooring with realistic wood visuals and texture, but with the benefit of being more durable and resistant to wear and tear such as dents and scratching as well as water.
