You want beautiful floors that look like real hardwood, but aren’t ready to spend thousands on solid wood that needs refinishing every decade. You need durable flooring that can stand up to kids, pets and daily life, but affordable enough so you don’t regret the investment. Laminate flooring from us gives you exactly that.
Here are the benefits of buying laminate flooring from us:
Priced out of hardwood or nearly had a heart attack when you looked at it? Maybe you looked at cheap laminate flooring from a big box store that looked like it would fall apart in a few years? Salespeople make it seem like affordable good-looking flooring doesn’t exist. At Easton Flooring, it does. We carry laminate options that perform, not the bottom-shelf stuff that chips or fades in our Willow Grove, PA, showroom. We also offer a shop-at-home service. Ready to find a wood flooring look-alike that doesn’t look or feel cheap? Let’s talk.
Laminate flooring is the perfect combination of affordability, durability and style. Check out why Eastern Montgomery and Bucks County homeowners love it:
Affordable Alternative to Hardwood
Make it look like wood flooring at a fraction of the price. Whether you prefer oak, maple, walnut or exotic woods, this is the best way to get wood-look planks without the premium costs. If you have a tight budget, but refuse to compromise on style, laminate takes the cake.
Extremely Durable and Scratch-Resistant
Laminate is made to last as the wear layer protects against scratches, dents and daily wear better than people might expect. This flooring handles kids, pets, furniture moves and high-traffic areas without showing damage the same way as softer floors do. Quality products can last 15-25 years with proper care.
Easy to Clean and Maintain
There's no refinishing, special cleaners or complicated maintenance routines with laminate. Sweeping and damp mopping are all you need to keep your floors in top shape. Spills are easy to wipe up and you don't have to worry about water damage like you would with hardwood (standing water should be avoided).
Realistic Wood Appearance
Modern laminate floors have come a long way. High-quality laminate planks feature realistic wood grain textures, natural color variations and embossing that imitates the feel of real wood. Guests might not even notice that it's not hardwood unless you tell them.
Fast, Straightforward Installation
Laminate flooring products use a floating floor installation that can usually be completed within a single day. That means no glue or no nails required as the planks snap together over the underlayment. Quick installation causes less disruption to your life and lowers labor costs.
If you want wood flooring without the hefty price tag, laminate flooring is the way to go. Although they only come in one format, proper installation is essential. Here’s what we offer:
Laminate planks are made from compressed wood fibers and resin. The long, narrow planks look like hardwood flooring. They imitate the appearance of a variety of wood species, come in many colors and plank widths and work for most rooms and design styles. Choose from light oak, dark walnut, rustic barn wood and sleek contemporary finishes. Modern laminate offers the following:
When it comes to laminate wood flooring, proper installation is essential. The subfloor should be level and clean, while underlayment needs to be installed correctly to prevent squeaking and provide moisture protection. Planks should have proper expansion gaps around the perimeter. When you skip these steps, you can end up with issues like buckling, gaps and noise within a few months. Our flooring contractors will make sure this practical option lasts you for years to come.
Our family has been in the flooring business long enough to recognize the difference between obviously fake-looking planks and those that genuinely rival the appearance of hardwood. We know which brands hold up and which ones are just marketing hype. Here’s why Greater Philadelphia turns to us:
Do you have any Question?
Laminate is 30-60% more affordable than traditional wood flooring. It’s also more scratch-resistant and easier to maintain. However, since laminate flooring products cannot be refinished, they don’t have the same resale value as hardwood. However, they do provide homeowners on a budget with durable, good-looking floors.
Many modern laminate flooring products are water-resistant, not fully waterproof. That means it can handle spills if you wipe them up, but prolonged moisture exposure can result in swelling and damage. Don’t install standard laminate in bathrooms or basements prone to flooding.
Quality laminate floors with professional installation can last 15-25 years. The AC (Abrasion Class) rating determines durability. Those with higher ratings like AC4 and AC5 are better at handling heavy foot traffic. Meanwhile, cheaper laminate may only last 7-10 years before showing significant wear.
Laminate flooring costs depend on the quality, thickness, AC rating, brand and installation complexity. Budget-friendly options cost less, while premium laminate with thicker wear layers and more realistic wood looks will cost a bit more, but still less than real hardwood flooring.
