Affordable Style and Durability
Laminate flooring is a popular choice for homeowners who want the aesthetic appeal of natural materials like hardwood or tile without the high cost or maintenance. It's constructed with multiple fused layers, featuring a photographic layer of wood grain or stone sealed with a tough, clear wear layer. Laminate offers excellent resistance to scratches, stains, and fading. LocalXR connects you with experienced flooring specialists for a reliable and efficient installation.

Laminate Flooring FAQs
Is laminate flooring waterproof?
Traditional laminate is not waterproof; its wood-fiber core can swell if exposed to standing water. However, many modern, premium brands offer highly water-resistant or waterproof options suitable for kitchens and baths.
Can laminate be refinished like hardwood?
No, laminate flooring cannot be sanded or refinished because it is protected by a thin wear layer over a photographic layer. If severely damaged, the planks must be replaced.
Can laminate be installed in a bathroom or laundry room?
Only specific, high-end waterproof laminate products should be used in high-moisture areas like bathrooms. Standard laminate is not recommended due to the risk of the wood-fiber core swelling from standing water.
