FAQs
Why should I choose laminate flooring?
Laminate flooring is quickly becoming a popular flooring choice throughout the nation. Whether you are budget-conscious or want a floor that is easy to care for with no special requirements, Floor Coverings International® has a great selection that we can show you from the convenience of your own home with our mobile flooring showroom™.
Laminate flooring is protected by a tough exterior layer and is coated in resin, making it an incredibly durable floor covering. It is resistant to scratches, impact damage, and doesn’t mar easily. Laminates are designed to withstand more wear than any other floor coverings, which makes it an excellent option for a busy household.
Additional advantages for choosing laminate flooring from Floor Coverings International® is how well it repels stains, is fade-resistant, and is impervious to moisture. These properties make it easy to clean and maintain.
What are the differences between laminate, linoleum, and vinyl flooring?
Laminate
- Laminate is made primarily of high-density fiberboard, covered in a photographic image and a transparent protective wear layer.
- Laminate flooring is specifically intended to mimic hardwood, so it is available in a wide range of wood-like patterns and colors.
- An alternative to hardwood is beneficial because it’s easy to maintain and can work in almost any space.
- Laminate is quite affordable and provides a cheaper alternative to traditional hardwood.
Luxury Vinyl
- Luxury vinyl flooring is made primarily of vinyl, though it may also contain fiberglass, felt, and dyes. Like laminate, it is covered in a high-resolution image with a protective top layer.
Vinyl planks are available in as many wood look-alike styles as laminate. However, vinyl flooring is available in sheet and tile form, offering even more options. - Vinyl is quite durable and water-resistant. It also has a built-in underlayment that can help to absorb sound and add comfort.
- Whether plank, tile, or sheet, luxury vinyl flooring is usually very affordable.
Linoleum
- Linoleum is made entirely of natural, eco-friendly materials. It usually consists of a mix of linseed oil, tree resin, limestone, and wood dust.
- Linoleum is available in many styles that mimic tile, hardwood, and other colorful patterns and designs.
- Linoleum floors are resistant to wear and tear with the right upkeep. Applying sealant to it periodically makes it even more resistant to water.
- Linoleum flooring tends to feel more cushioned and comfortable than rigid options like laminate and hardwood.
