Laminate flooring is constructed from several layers of composite wood which are fused together under high pressure and heat. The top layer is a high-resolution photograph of real hardwood, stone or tile, which is protected by a clear wear-resistant layer which makes it highly durable, scratch-resistant and easy to clean and maintain.

Due to it’s properties, laminate flooring is more likely to warp compared to other flooring options, especially when exposed to humidity and moisture. However, a well looked after laminate floor will still last for years to come.

Most laminate flooring is water-resistant, but not completely waterproof. It can withstand spills and splashes, but it is not recommended to submerge it or leave it in standing water for extended periods of time.

Laminate flooring is less expensive than solid hardwood flooring, and can compete with the prices of carpet.

Laminate flooring is easy to clean and maintain. It can be swept or vacuumed regularly to remove dirt and debris. Spills and stains can be cleaned with a damp mop or cloth. It is important to avoid using excessive water and to use a cleaner specifically designed for laminate flooring.

Laminate flooring cannot be refinished like solid hardwood flooring. If the surface becomes damaged or worn, it will need to be replaced.
