Laminate floors gave homeowners a less expensive way to achieve the look of traditional hardwood floors. However, there is a rich quality that hardwood offers that cannot be matched with laminate. It’s not necessary to make a choice between one type or the other. Both types of flooring can complement each other and really shine.
Laminate floors have many unique properties that set them apart from other flooring types. They come in nearly any color, style, and appearance and are great for use in many different rooms. Laminate planks are made of several layers bonded together. They consist of wood, resin, and fiber layers compacted together under pressure and finished with a printed image treated with a wear layer.
