Laminate flooring has certainly come a long way since its introduction thirty years ago. Today's laminate flooring is stronger than ever, offering a realistic and beautiful alternative to hardwood. At Cinderella Carpet One Floor & Home of Salinas, California, we can help you navigate the shifting world of laminate floors. Here, you'll browse all the hottest laminate flooring products, including unique options by Mirror Lake and more. Here's a handy lowdown on laminate flooring.

Is Laminate Flooring a Good Alternative to Hardwood?

Laminate flooring is currently one of the hottest alternatives to natural hardwood for compelling reasons. Laminate flooring is a game-changer, offering realistic natural wood floor visuals while leveraging its manufactured design to give you benefits you will not find in real hardwood. Compared to actual hardwood, laminate flooring is more affordable and can manage heavy moisture. Thanks to laminate flooring, you can enjoy the look of hardwood on your property without breaking the bank, using a material that has minimal impact on the environment compared to traditional wood. Composed of four composite wood layers that are fused, laminate flooring is known for its tough exterior, which makes it an excellent option for high-traffic areas.

Is Laminate Flooring Waterproof?

Although most laminate floors are not waterproof, the majority are water-resistant and intended for spaces with reasonable moisture levels. This means, of course, that one should exercise vigilance in wiping away spills and splashes right away. Luckily, modern manufacturing has made laminate flooring even stronger and better, and we are proud to carry 100% waterproof laminate flooring. With waterproof laminate, you won’t have to worry about spills and splashes permanently damaging your floors. 100% waterproof flooring also allows you to enjoy laminate in more rooms in your home than traditional hardwood.

Is Laminate Flooring Pet and Family Friendly?

For those with pets or toddlers at home, it’s important to have added reinforcement in rooms where families tend to gather most. Laminate flooring is a great durable flooring option for busy households. For maximum protection, a truly waterproof laminate floor will give you the ultimate peace of mind.

What Laminate Flooring Do We Recommend?

We recommend our exclusive product line, Mirror Lake Performance Flooring. Mirror Lake laminate is designed with quality and performance in mind so you’ll never have to sacrifice style for function – or vice versa. One of our other favorite laminate floorings is Mohawk’s RevWood. Mohawk RevWood is designed to exceed your expectations, this radically resilient floor is high in style and high in durability. You can enjoy the natural look of hardwood flooring without sacrificing the quality performance and low maintenance of laminate.

How Is Laminate Flooring Installed?

Laminate flooring installation is simple and easy. Because laminates are floating floors, the technique used for the installation is the click-lock method. In simple words, this means snapping the laminate planks. No glues or chemicals are used during the process. Don't worry about the reliability of the method because these planks are engineered to stay together. At least ten pounds of force are needed to separate them. Although the installation seems effortless compared to other types of floor, it is always recommended to have a professional installer do the work for you. Thankfully, we house an incredible team of installers. Another critical thing to have in mind is having one of our flooring experts evaluate the subfloor's condition before purchasing.
