When homeowners want the look of hardwood without the cost or maintenance, laminate flooring continues to be one of the most practical options available. At BEC Flooring, we install laminate floors for homeowners and new construction builders who want durability, style, and long-term value—especially in spaces where performance matters as much as appearance.
What Is Laminate Flooring?
Laminate flooring is a multi-layer product designed to replicate natural wood, stone, or tile. It consists of a tough wear layer on top, a high-resolution photographic layer for realistic visuals, a dense core for strength and stability, and a backing layer that adds balance and moisture resistance. Thanks to major manufacturing advances, today’s laminate floors look better and perform far beyond what was available a decade ago.
Improved Performance Over the Last 10 Years
Laminate flooring has seen significant performance improvements over the past 10 years. Modern laminate products are thicker, stronger, and far more resistant to wear than earlier versions. Advancements in core density, locking systems, and surface coatings have dramatically improved durability, moisture resistance, and overall stability.
Many of today’s laminate floors also feature enhanced water-resistant technology, helping protect against everyday spills and accidents. While laminate is not designed for prolonged standing water, current products outperform older laminate by a wide margin—making them a more dependable option for modern homes.
Popular Choice for New Construction
Laminate flooring has become increasingly popular with new home builders due to its balance of appearance, durability, and cost efficiency. Builders appreciate laminate for its consistent quality, fast installation, and ability to deliver a high-end wood look while staying within project budgets. Homebuyers benefit from attractive floors that hold up well to everyday use from day one.
Because laminate performs well across multiple rooms, it’s often selected for main living areas, hallways, bedrooms, and home offices in new construction homes.
Authentic Wood Look at a Better Value
Laminate flooring delivers the appearance of real hardwood at a more affordable price point. Advanced imaging and textured finishes allow laminate to closely mimic natural wood grain, knots, and color variation. This makes it possible to achieve a clean, upscale look without the maintenance or cost associated with solid hardwood.
Easy Maintenance for Busy Homes
Laminate flooring is easy to maintain. Regular sweeping or vacuuming and occasional damp mopping are all that’s needed. Unlike hardwood, laminate does not require refinishing, sealing, or specialty cleaners, making it an ideal solution for busy households.
