Laminate flooring is stylish, affordable, and built to last
Ready for a flooring upgrade that’s stylish, durable, and easy on the budget? Laminate flooring could be exactly what your home needs. At Superior Flooring, we carry high-quality laminate flooring and back it with expert installation you can trust.
Whether you're remodeling a single room or your whole home, laminate flooring gives you serious design power with real-world practicality. Let’s break down what makes it such a popular choice.
What is laminate flooring made of?
If you’re wondering what’s under the surface of a laminate plank, here’s the scoop. Laminate flooring is made up of four main layers:
- Wear layer: This is the top, clear protective coating. It resists scratches, stains, and fading from sunlight. It also makes the floor easy to clean.
- Design layer: Right beneath the wear layer is a high-definition printed image that mimics the look of wood, stone, or tile. Technology has come a long way, so many of these visuals are incredibly realistic.
- Core layer: This is the thickest part of the plank. It’s made from high-density fiberboard (HDF), giving the floor strength and stability. Some options even have water-resistant or waterproof cores for added peace of mind.
- Backing layer: The bottom layer adds extra support and helps protect against moisture from below.
This layered design gives laminate flooring its strength, beauty, and budget-friendly price tag. It’s a smart option if you want the aesthetic of real wood or tile without the upkeep or cost.

How to shop for the best laminate flooring
Shopping for laminate flooring isn’t just about picking a color you like. You want to choose a floor that fits your home, lifestyle, and budget. Here are a few things to keep in mind:
- Durability rating: Look for the AC (Abrasion Criteria) rating, which tells you how tough the surface is. For most homes, AC3 or higher is ideal, especially in busy areas.
- Water resistance: Today, you can find waterproof laminate flooring options, perfect for kitchens, bathrooms, or basements.
- Style and texture: Do you want smooth and sleek or hand-scraped and rustic? Modern laminate floors come in all kinds of finishes. Bring a sample home to see how it looks in your lighting.
- Underlayment: Ask whether your laminate floor comes with a built-in underlayment or if you’ll need to add one. Underlayment can reduce noise and provide a softer feel underfoot.
When you shop with us, we’ll walk you through all these details and more. We’ll ask about your lifestyle, your budget, and your vision so we can help you find the perfect match.
Why homeowners love laminate flooring
Laminate flooring has been around for decades, but it’s better than ever. Thanks to major advances in design and manufacturing, today’s laminate is stylish, sturdy, and a great value.
Here are a few standout benefits:
- Realistic look and feel: High-resolution images and textured finishes mean your laminate wood flooring can look almost identical to hardwood.
- Low maintenance: No waxing or polishing needed. Just sweep or vacuum regularly and clean with a damp mop as needed.
- Scratch and dent resistance: Laminate flooring is perfect for busy households with kids, pets, or lots of foot traffic.
- Budget-friendly: With laminate wood flooring, you'll get the look you love without the hefty price tag of natural materials.
- Fast installation: Laminate flooring uses a click-lock system, which makes it quicker and easier to install than many other types of flooring.
If you need a tough, attractive floor that won’t eat up your remodeling budget, laminate is an easy yes.
