Why Choose Laminate?
Why Choose Laminate?
You’ll be amazed how laminate flooring captures the sophisticated beauty and design of the finest natural materials. Discover laminate wood flooring, laminate tile flooring, waterproof laminate flooring, vinyl laminate flooring and more at a fraction of the cost of their natural counterparts.
Laminate offers many great features and benefits that you’d wouldn’t expect in so affordable a flooring option – textured surfaces, trend-setting styles, easy care, scratch and stain resistance, durability . . . just to name a few!
Laminate kitchen countertops are also quite popular, as laminate is generally a great surface material. If you’re interested in laminate countertops for your home, please take to an A&S Carpet Collection representative for more information.
Types of Laminate
Types of Laminate
Laminate floors offer a great variety of styles, surface textures, thickness and installation methods. So what is the best laminate flooring? That’s entirely up to your personal taste! Whether you want laminate hardwood flooring that shows off the look of natural wood grains; grey laminate flooring tiles for a sleek, modern look; white laminate flooring for a clean & bright feel; or any number of other laminate colors, styles and finishes, you’ll find them all here at A&S Carpet Collection.
Surface Textures
Smooth – A smooth finish with a soft gloss lets the natural beauty of the floor’s decorative surface take center stage. Embossed-in-register printing also intensifies the depth, texture and natural look of the floor.
Texture – The laminate planks have a rough texture that gives the impression of gently aging. Surface treatments, such as deep graining, hand scraping and rustic character marks can be seen and even felt.
Board Thickness
Laminate flooring thickness is measured in millimeters (mm) with 7mm, 8mm, 10mm and 12mm being the most popular. The more even and sound your sub-floor, the thinner your laminate board can be.
How to Install Laminate Flooring
Laminate floors are typically installed as floating floors, meaning boards are not nailed, stapled or glued to the subfloor. They simply lock together and float above the sub-floor as a unit. A tongue and groove locking system holds boards firmly in place so they remain secure once installed.

One of the great features of laminate floors is that they give homeowners the look and feel of luxury flooring with easy installation. Laminate can be installed anywhere in your home, even in moisture-prone basements. This is because of laminate’s layered construction, which makes it remarkably durable and able to stand up to heavy foot traffic, pets and kids. It’s perfect for family rooms and foyers, hallways and home gyms, kitchen and bathrooms. Laminate’s tough wear layers also provide superior moisture resistance from surface spills while its moisture barrier backing guards against warping from subfloor moisture.
Your floor’s features will play into your laminate care & maintenance routine. While laminate floors are highly water resistant, they’re not waterproof. Make sure to wipe up any spills as soon as they happen. When necessary, you can also use a laminate floor cleaner, available at our showroom in Allison Park, PA.
