Laminate Laminate flooring has come a long way in recent years and is a great alternative to hardwood. Today you would have a hard time distinguishing the difference between laminate and hardwood floors because of how realistic the wood visuals are. Laminate is easy to install, super durable, and priced for any budget. In addition, laminate is very easy to clean. With laminate you get the best of both worlds, the look of wood you love with minimal maintenance. Not to mention, with technology advancements waterproof laminate has been a game changer in the marketplace.
