Laminate floors are a stylish and budget-friendly option for your home or business. Made from compressed layers of composite wood, this type of floor is moisture-repellent and strong. It’s also stunningly similar in appearance to natural hardwood thanks to modern advancements in imaging technology. At Skaug Brothers Carpet One in Moses Lake, Washington, we’re always thinking forward when it comes to flooring. We’re proud to offer an excellent selection of premium laminate products with the latest performance features. Our showroom proudly serves Moses Lake and Ephrata.

Laminate vs. Hardwood

On the surface level, today’s laminate is indistinguishable from real hardwood for most consumers. However, the construction of this type of flooring has a few key differences. First, laminate is made from several layers of composite wood adhered together with a textured image of natural hardwood at the top. The image layer creates an incredibly realistic semblance to natural wood and is protected under a durable coating for scratch and wear-resistance.

Solid wood planks are made from a single piece of genuine hardwood throughout. Engineered hardwood is similar to laminate in that it’s made from layers of wood, but it always features a real hardwood surface on top, rather than a rendering. The layered structure of both engineered wood and laminate planks makes them more resilient to warping from humidity and moisture exposure than solid hardwood.

Is Laminate Waterproof?

While in the past, most laminate floors were just water-resistant, today we offer premium 100% waterproof options. This includes our Mirror Lake collection, which features several innovative technologies that help lock out moisture, including watertight seams. Since waterproof laminate floors have emerged on the market, they’ve become a strong competitor with waterproof luxury vinyl. Mirror Lake laminate planks have one of the strongest finishes on the market, and they’re more affordable and scratch-resistant than many vinyl flooring options.

Where Can Laminate Be Installed?

One of the significant advantages of laminate flooring is that it’s quick and easy to install. We offer snap together flooring that simply clicks into place. There’s no need to nail or glue-down the floor, and you can walk on it the same day it’s put in. We also offer a variety of other laminate installation methods, so you have more versatility and choice. You can install laminate in a variety of places around your home. It will bring a high-end luxury look to your living room, bedroom, dining room, and other places. You can also install waterproof laminate floors in bathrooms, kitchens, mudrooms, basements, and other moisture-prone areas. Quality laminate floors are also durable enough to handle small-scale commercial spaces.
