How Laminate Flooring Is Made for Everyday Durability
Laminate is made of layers of fibreboard pressed together. An image is printed to help imitate the look of wood, tile, or stone. You can imitate just about any surface. A clear coating of melamine resins is added for the final finish to ensure the image is heat-resistant and doesn’t fade or scratch.
Benefits of Laminate Flooring in Calgary Homes
Many homeowners choose laminate for several factors such as:
Versatility Appearance: Laminates are available in a variety of colours, textures and properties.
Durability: They are resistant to moisture, fading, stains, and wear which makes them great for high-traffic areas such as kitchens and entranceways.
Budget-friendly: It costs a lot less to buy and install laminate flooring compared to hardwood since it is manufactured with pressed wood.
Easy To Install: These material boards can be put over existing floors, making the installation process easy and less time-consuming.
Waterproofing Features: The latest laminate flooring options come with waterproofing features making them suitable for bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms.
Easy Maintenance: Unlike other flooring options, laminates come with a wear layer, which is applied during the manufacturing process. It makes laminate flooring easy to clean, maintain and renovate. There is no need to use coatings, sealings or other products to maintain laminate flooring.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is laminate flooring waterproof?
Some laminate products include water-resistant or waterproof features, but performance varies by manufacturer and installation system. We can help you compare products if moisture resistance is important for kitchens, entries, or laundry areas.
Can laminate be installed over existing flooring?
Laminate can sometimes be installed over existing hard surfaces if the floor is clean, flat, dry, and structurally sound. The subfloor still needs to meet product requirements to prevent movement, gaps, or noise.
How does laminate compare with luxury vinyl?
Laminate often has a firm wood-like feel and strong scratch resistance, while luxury vinyl is usually more water resistant and flexible. The better choice depends on the room, traffic level, moisture exposure, and budget.
Is laminate a good option for basements?
Laminate can work in some basement spaces, but moisture conditions must be checked first. In damp or higher-risk areas, luxury vinyl may be a safer option.
