Today, laminate comes in stunningly realistic hardwood looks. As a common-sense flooring solution that is not only stylish, but offers an excellent combination of strength, beauty, and affordability. FDW Carpet One Floor and Home in Crystal Lake, Illinois, is the best place for a wide selection of laminate flooring for both residential and commercial spaces.

Types of Laminate Flooring

Modern laminate can mimic natural hardwood and tile flooring.

• Laminate vs. Hardwood: Natural wood floors are made using premium species like solid oak, hickory, mahogany, and maple; while laminate floors are created by gluing together several layers of composite wood topped off with a wood look visual on the surface. This wood look visual is created through high-definition photography and advanced texturing techniques that give the floor both the natural feel and appearance of real wood.
• Laminate vs. Tile: Laminate offers the beauty and appearance of stone or tile thanks to modern technology. It can mimic quality tile using a variety of textures, dimensional depth, and ridges and indentations.

Where Can Laminate Be Installed?

With its durable construction and high-end looks, laminate can be installed on a variety of surfaces in either your home or your business. We recommend installing laminate in areas where you would install hardwood, such as living rooms and bedrooms. Waterproof laminate is also a good fit for kitchens, basements, and mudrooms. Commercial-grade laminate floors are best for light-use business settings like small offices.
