Laminate

This synthetic flooring type is designed to replicate the look of wood and, on occasion, stone. Available for decades, laminate continues to be a popular choice among the DIY community because it is relatively easy to install and is typically a lower-cost alternative to other flooring types.

In recent years laminate has evolved to include finishes that replicate stone and ceramic tile, many wood species and even bamboo. Many types use a hydroseal that makes the surface 100% waterproof — ideal for kitchens, bathrooms and laundry rooms.

Laminate is less expensive, durable, pet-friendly and comes in a wide range of styles, finishes, plank lengths and thicknesses. Check back often, or drop by in-store to see what's available for your next great space.
