Laminate Floors in Baton Rouge, LA

Laminate flooring means never feeling limited by your busy life, or your tighter budget. Never to be confused with the drab synthetic floors of decades past, today’s laminate flooring looks like natural hardwood and other pricier materials. Laminate flooring is a great option for both residential and commercial interiors.

At Emerson Carpet One Floor & Home in Baton Rouge, LA, we carry a wide variety of laminate flooring, with a wide range of choices guaranteed to suit every taste. Your local flooring store since 1983, we’re experts on life along the Mississippi River and the region’s humid climate.

 

How Does Laminate Flooring Compare to Natural Hardwood Floors?

For Louisiana living, laminate flooring is clearly the winner.

With significantly lower upfront costs and a low-maintenance care plan as the years go on, laminate flooring is virtually stress-free. Its built-in layers add density, and photorealistic imaging technology brings with it the visuals of hardwood, stone, or tile.

A clear, protective coating lets beauty shine through while eliminating most scratches, scuffs, and dents. Waterproof laminate flooring is especially hardy amidst our constant humidity and rainy, stormy seasons.

 

Is All Laminate Flooring Waterproof?

ALL laminate flooring resists moisture, but not all are genuinely waterproof. 

 

 

Waterproof laminate flooring is your best option if your bathroom or laundry rooms needs an update or a boost and you long for the looks of lush, natural hardwood.

 

 

Consider waterproof laminate flooring made by Mohawk and Mannington for luxurious looks and state-of-the-art functions.

 

 

What makes a laminate floor waterproof? All laminates are made in layers, but waterproof versions have a core made of a high-density fiberboard that’ treated with water-resistant chemicals. A wear layer treated with waterproof materials like aluminum oxide for added protection.

 

 

Additionally, waterproof laminates have a special sealant system to guard against drips sinking between your planks or tiles.  Most products are rated via the Abrasion Class (AC) system, with those with a higher score offering the most moisture protection.

 

 

Planning Your Laminate Flooring Installation

 

Laminate flooring can go virtually anywhere where interior flooring is installed.

There are laminate flooring choices for every budget, space, and style. Although not every laminate floor is fully waterproof, all of it has a good amount of moisture resistance, provided kitchen & bath splashes are promptly wiped away.

Laminate flooring is affordable and easy to install. Certain types of laminates can even be installed without using adhesives, instead using click-together planks to form what we call a “floating” floor.

Can I Install My Own Laminate Floor?

Most of the time it’s simply not a smart decision to self-install your new laminate floor.

Although laminate flooring isn’t as tough to install as natural hardwood or stone tile, things can still go wrong very quickly if you’re not completely comfortable with home renovation projects.

Save your sanity and keep your home or business in best form by choosing to work with our experts. We have everything you need right here under one roof: professional flooring installation by our team of seasoned, in-house installers. We also offer commercial flooring installation, property management, and custom kitchen & bath design.

Should I Choose Luxury Vinyl Flooring or Laminate Flooring?

Laminate flooring and luxury vinyl flooring are both exceptional options for moisture-prone spaces, offering an affordable and enduring alternative to hardwood, stone, or tile.

Laminate flooring has a few features vinyl doesn’t. Unlike vinyl flooring, your laminate floor has natural origins. Since it contains actual wood byproducts and resins, its appearance is closer to natural hardwood. It’s also more resilient and tends to last longer.
