Laminate Flooring 101

More and more homeowners are choosing laminate flooring over traditional wood floors, tile and carpeting. It's easy to see why. Manufactured by laminating a photograph of wood grain or stone directly to a flooring material, it costs a fraction of traditional flooring materials and is extremely durable. What's more, laminate flooring can be installed in just a few hours, so transforming any room in your home is a relatively quick project.

Most people use laminate flooring in kitchens, but its durability and easy maintenance is making it more and more popular for use in foyers and other high-traffic areas.
