Laminate flooring that combines style and durability

What laminate looks are available?

Modern laminate flooring offers styles for nearly every design preference. Whether your home is traditional, rustic, farmhouse, or contemporary, there's a laminate floor to complement it.

Popular laminate looks include:

• Oak
• White oak
• Hickory
• Maple
• Walnut
• Reclaimed wood
• Wide-plank designs
• Hand-scraped textures
• Wire-brushed finishes
• Natural stone visuals

Many products feature embossed textures that closely mimic the grain and character of real hardwood, creating a natural appearance throughout your home.

How do you choose the right laminate color?

The color of your flooring has a major impact on the overall feel of a room. Light shades brighten spaces and make smaller rooms appear larger. Medium tones offer timeless versatility and coordinate with nearly any décor, while darker colors create warmth, contrast, and sophistication.

If your home has an open layout, using the same flooring throughout multiple rooms creates a seamless, cohesive appearance. Our knowledgeable team can help you compare samples in different lighting conditions so you can choose a color with confidence.

What is an AC rating?

The Abrasion Criteria, or AC rating, measures a laminate floor's resistance to wear and everyday traffic. Choosing the appropriate rating helps ensure your new floor performs well for years.

• AC1: Light residential use
• AC2: Moderate residential traffic
• AC3: Heavy residential and light commercial use
• AC4: General commercial settings
• AC5: High-traffic commercial environments

For most homes, AC3 provides an excellent balance of durability and value, while AC4 is ideal for especially active households.

Is laminate flooring waterproof?

Waterproof laminate flooring offers extra protection against spills and everyday moisture.

Enhanced cores and improved locking systems help prevent water from penetrating the floor, making these products ideal for busy families.

Although waterproof laminate flooring provides added peace of mind, cleaning up spills promptly will help maximize the life of your flooring.

How do you maintain laminate floors?

Laminate flooring is designed to be easy to care for, making it a practical choice for active homes.

To keep your floors looking their best:

• Sweep or vacuum regularly with a hard-floor attachment
• Damp mop using a laminate-approved cleaner
• Wipe up spills as soon as possible
• Place mats at exterior doors to reduce dirt and moisture
• Use felt pads beneath furniture
• Avoid harsh cleaners and abrasive scrubbers
• Maintain normal indoor humidity levels

Following these simple steps will help preserve your floor's beauty for years.
