Find the right laminate flooring for your lifestyle

What laminate looks are available?

Modern laminate flooring offers remarkable realism. Advanced imaging and textured finishes closely replicate natural materials while providing greater durability and easier maintenance.

Wood-look laminate remains the most popular choice, with styles inspired by oak, hickory, maple, walnut, and other hardwood species. Stone-look laminate captures the appearance of slate, marble, concrete, and tile while offering a warmer feel underfoot.

You'll also find wider planks, longer boards, embossed textures, and beveled edges that create a more authentic finished floor.

How do you choose the right laminate color?

Light-colored floors brighten smaller spaces and complement coastal, farmhouse, and modern interiors. Medium browns remain a timeless favorite because they pair easily with changing furniture and décor. Dark floors create warmth and dramatic contrast, while gray and greige tones offer a clean, contemporary look.

Our knowledgeable showroom staff will help you compare samples and choose a color that complements your home's lighting, style, and lifestyle.

What do AC ratings mean?

AC ratings measure a laminate floor's resistance to wear and help determine where it performs best.

• AC1: Light residential traffic.
• AC2: Standard residential use.
• AC3: Ideal for most active households.
• AC4: Heavy residential and light commercial use.
• AC5: High-traffic commercial environments.

Choosing the right AC rating ensures your floor performs well for years while matching the demands of your space.

Is laminate flooring waterproof?

Many laminate products today offer enhanced moisture protection.

Traditional laminate handles occasional spills when they're cleaned promptly. Water-resistant collections feature improved locking systems and moisture-resistant cores that help keep liquids from reaching the subfloor.

Waterproof laminate flooring offers even greater protection, making it an excellent option for kitchens, laundry rooms, mudrooms, and other areas where spills are common. Our team can help you compare products and select the right level of moisture protection.

Where can laminate floors be installed?

Laminate flooring works well in many residential and commercial settings, including:

• Living rooms
• Bedrooms
• Dining rooms
• Hallways
• Home offices
• Kitchens
• Entryways
• Finished basements
• Retail stores
• Offices
• Multi-family properties

For bathrooms and other moisture-prone spaces, we'll recommend waterproof laminate flooring products when appropriate.

How do you clean and maintain laminate floors?

Laminate flooring is designed for easy care.

Sweep or vacuum regularly using a hard-floor setting to remove dirt and debris. Damp mop with a manufacturer-approved laminate cleaner, avoiding excessive water and steam mops unless specifically approved. Wipe up spills quickly, place felt pads under furniture, and use entry mats to reduce dirt and grit.

With routine maintenance, laminate flooring can continue looking great for many years.
