The Strength
Laminate floors are extremely durable and wear resistant. Easy installation, quick and simple cleaning. Laminate is sold in planks that are snapped together and can be layed over most other existing floors (excluding carpet). Laminate is one of the only floors that can be installed over ceramic tile. Each board is constructed with a core of high density fiber board which is very moisture resistant. As with most hard surface flooring, laminate floors can scratch so floor protectors are recommended.
The Feel
A Hard Surface.
The Clean Up
