Laminate is an affordable flooring option that’s perfect for adding style to your home or business. It’s made by gluing together layers of compressed wood to create a durable and water-resistant product. At Avant Garde Carpet One Floor & Home in Waldorf, Maryland, we’re your local flooring experts. We carry a wide selection of laminate flooring, including waterproof laminate, which is a better option for kitchens and bathrooms. Shop our laminate flooring selection now.


Laminate vs. Hardwood

While laminate and hardwood look virtually identical from the surface level, they’re constructed very differently. Solid hardwood planks are made from a single thick piece of hardwood throughout, while laminate is made using layers of composite wood. This layered construction creates a more durable flooring option that’s more stable and resistant to swelling with moisture exposure. Laminate is also more affordable than natural hardwood, and it requires less maintenance over time.
