Find durable laminate flooring you'll love

What laminate styles are available?

Laminate flooring comes in styles to suit nearly every home, from classic to contemporary.

Traditional designs recreate popular hardwood species like oak, maple, hickory, and walnut with realistic grain patterns. Rustic styles feature distressed details, knots, and textured finishes that bring warmth and character. Contemporary options offer cleaner lines, lighter tones, and subtle textures for a modern look.

You can also find laminate that mimics natural stone, including slate, marble, and concrete, while providing a warmer, more comfortable surface than the real material.

No matter your decorating style, there's a laminate floor to match your vision.

How do I choose the right laminate color?

The color of your laminate flooring influences the mood of the entire room.

Light shades such as blonde oak, white oak, and soft gray make spaces feel brighter and larger.

Medium tones add warmth and versatility, pairing well with a variety of furniture and helping disguise everyday dust. Dark finishes like walnut and espresso create bold contrast and a more formal appearance, especially in larger rooms with plenty of natural light.

Our team can help you compare samples and choose a color that complements your cabinetry, countertops, and overall décor.

What is an AC rating?

An AC rating, or Abrasion Criteria rating, measures a laminate floor's resistance to wear, scratches, and foot traffic. Choosing the right rating helps ensure your flooring performs well for years.

• AC3: Best for most residential spaces.
• AC4: Ideal for busy households and light commercial use.
• AC5: Designed for high-traffic commercial environments.

We'll help you select a laminate floor with the durability your home requires.

What laminate flooring features should I consider?

Beyond color and style, several features affect how laminate flooring looks and performs.

Plank width can change the appearance of a room. Wide planks create an open, modern feel, while narrower planks offer a more traditional look.

Surface texture also matters. Smooth, embossed, hand-scraped, and wire-brushed finishes add depth and make laminate resemble genuine hardwood.

Waterproof laminate flooring options are available, making them a practical option for kitchens, entryways, and other busy areas when spills are cleaned promptly.

Finally, consider the installation system. Most modern laminate uses click-lock construction, allowing planks to fit together securely while creating a stable floating floor.

How do you maintain laminate floors?

One reason homeowners love laminate flooring is how easy it is to maintain.

Sweep or vacuum regularly using the hard-floor setting to remove dirt and grit before they can scratch the surface. Clean with a microfiber mop and a laminate-approved cleaner whenever needed, and wipe up spills promptly to prevent moisture from reaching the seams.

Furniture pads help protect against scratches, while entry mats reduce dirt tracked in from outdoors.

Avoid steam mops, standing water, abrasive cleaners, and wax products, as they can damage the floor's protective finish.

With routine care, laminate floors can continue looking beautiful for many years.
