Laminate Flooring and Installation in Woodland Hills

Shop laminate flooring at our Woodland Hills showroom, material only or installed.

Laminate gives you the look of wood, or even stone, with a hard, scratch-resistant surface, usually for less than hardwood. Compare laminate next to hardwood and vinyl plank under real light at our Woodland Hills showroom, or book a free in-home estimate and we bring flooring samples to your home. Buy it material only, or have it installed by our licensed flooring contractor team.

How Laminate Flooring Is Made

Laminate has four layers: a backing layer, a dense fiberboard core, a printed design layer and a clear wear layer on top. The wear layer is what stands up to scratches and scuffs, and the printed layer is what lets laminate look like oak, hickory or stone.

Most laminate today clicks together and floats over an underlayment instead of being glued down. Because the planks lock together as one floor, the subfloor has to be flat within the manufacturer’s limits, so we check it before we install. Many newer lines are water-resistant, such as the Oasis Water Resistant Laminate in our catalog. Check each product’s rating, because laminate isn’t made to sit in standing water.

Laminate vs. Hardwood Flooring

Laminate usually costs less than engineered or solid hardwood, and its hard top layer resists everyday scratches better than many wood finishes. It needs no waxing or refinishing; sweep it and clean it with a damp, well-wrung mop. The trade-off is that laminate can’t be sanded: a worn or damaged plank is replaced, not refinished, and it isn’t real wood underfoot. If you would rather have real wood, see our solid and engineered hardwood flooring and compare both at the showroom. Prefer fully waterproof? Compare luxury vinyl plank.

Why laminate flooring?

Laminate is a good fit for living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, home offices and rentals: rooms that get daily traffic but don’t get wet. For bathrooms, laundry rooms and other rooms that get wet regularly, waterproof vinyl plank is usually the better choice. Installed on a flat subfloor and cared for properly, a good laminate floor lasts for years. For a step-by-step look at choosing one, read our laminate buying guide.
