Laminate flooring doesn't look real. It is floor covering material that is a man made type of flooring which is less expensive than hardwood flooring but looks similar to genuine hardwood flooring.Laminate flooring is actually like a photograph of real wood transposed onto a wood composite,it repels moisture, but this also means it can become very slippery when wet. Laminate is easy to clean and easy to install yourself. It has also become much more affordable whether in strips, planks, or sheets.

. Laminate floors were in use in Europe long before they made their way to the States. Consumers can be glad they're here. Laminates don't sound like real hardwood flooring either.The cost trade off is amazing,as lminates can be found for as little as $0.69 a foot vs $3.50 and up for real hardwood.

You will see a big differance in the labor cost too as laminiates are easy to lay and most handy home owners can tackel this job.
