LAMINATE

The Look
Wood has become extremely popular as homeowners are increasingly drawn to natural materials. It’s also becoming more widely used in kitchens.

The Strength
Hardwoods are a practical choice for durability as manufacturers are using aluminum oxides to create harder finishes.

The key to a woods durability is its thickness and its polyurethane finish. The typical ¾ - inch-thick flooring contains three to seven layers of wood and the top should be at least 1/8- inch. That’s so the floor can be lightly buffed after loosing its luster, typically in seven to ten years.

The Feel
Wood is a middle of the road – softer than stone or ceramic tile, harder than vinyl and laminate.
