Laminate

Laminate: the wood look, without the wood price.

Modern laminate has left its 1990s reputation behind. Today’s boards carry photographic wood visuals with real texture, waterproof cores, and warranties that rival hardwood, at a fraction of the cost.

Why people choose it

  • The hardwood look for less, plank by plank
  • Tough wear layers that resist scratches, stains, and fading
  • Waterproof options now standard in the good lines
  • Fast, clean installation over most existing subfloors

Lines worth asking about

  • Pergo Elements laminate: waterproof protection, stain resistance, durability, and a lifetime warranty, with a premium attached pad for cushioning, soundproofing and thermal insulation
  • Mohawk RevWood: captures the color, texture and beauty of natural hardwood while being waterproof, fade resistant, and heavily scratch protected

Laminate or luxury vinyl?

They solve similar problems. Laminate feels harder and more wood-like underfoot; luxury vinyl is quieter and fully waterproof to the core. If you are torn, ask us. We sell both, so the answer is whichever fits your room, not whichever we stock.

Walk on both before you decide.
