How is laminate installed?
Laminate planks are usually designed to interlock with each other, for ease of installation. Unlike wood, ceramic tile or stone, laminate flooring can be “floated” over almost any subfloor, installed over a padded underlayment that sits between the subfloor and the laminate planks or tiles. This method requires no glue, nails or staples. Our installation experts can answer any questions you have about installing laminate in your home.
Why would I choose laminate over real wood?
Laminate flooring offers home owners the look of real wood at a more affordable price. Laminate is also more durable than wood, better at resisting dents and scratches. In addition, laminate can be installed in rooms of the house where hardwood floors are not an option, such as in a bathroom or basement. Stop by one of showrooms, or browse through our online catalog, to see the variety of laminate products available to you.
