Laminate vs Hardwood

Laminate and hardwood look virtually identical from above, but they are fundamentally different floors. Natural wood flooring is made from premium hardwood, such as oak, maple, hickory, and so on. Laminate planks are created by gluing together several layers of composite wood. Then, a wood look image that mirrors premium hardwood is placed toward the surface, with a durable finish protecting it. 

Is Laminate Waterproof?

Laminate today is available in fully waterproof options. In the past, you would only find water-resistant laminate on your shelves. However flooring technology has advanced such that waterproof laminate planks can fully protect your subfloor from moisture damage. Each plank snaps together so that the seams are watertight. Additionally, a stain-resistant surface keeps your floor looking beautiful. 

Where Can Laminate Be Installed?

Laminate can be installed anywhere you can put hardwood and beyond. Waterproof laminate is ideal for mudrooms, kitchens, basements, and similar spaces. Other laminate floors bring a high-end hardwood look to living rooms, bedrooms, and more.
