Some rooms don't need the deepest, most high-end floor in the showroom, but you still have to shop smart. You don't have to spend hardwood money to find a durable, good-looking floor.
Here are the benefits of buying laminate flooring from us:
Get the look of wood, stone or tile at a fraction of the price
Durable enough for high-traffic rooms and everyday life
Easy, mess-free installation
Shopping for flooring is often confusing, especially when every material claims to do everything. Laminate isn't hardwood, it's in a category of its own where durability and price are just as important as looks. When you're outfitting a busy family room, a rental property or a full home on a budget, our team will let you know if laminate makes sense for your space or something else works better. Visit our Lighthouse Point showroom or book a consultation to browse options in person.
Laminate flooring is carving out its own path. Gone are the days where it was a cheap stand-in for something. Here's what it can add to a Lighthouse Point home:
Laminate flooring can look like hardwood, exotic wood or natural stone for an affordable price. It's a practical option when style is important, but you can't go over budget.
Laminate floors stand up to daily wear so it's ideal for hallways, living rooms, playrooms or other high-traffic areas throughout the home.
Despite being made from compressed wood fibers and resin, laminate has a realistic image layer that replicates the texture and look of real wood, tile or stone. You get more design flexibility than you think at a reasonable price point.
Laminate is quick to install. There's no need for the mess of glue, nails or staples. That means less disruption to your home and a faster path to a finished room.
Easily keep laminate flooring looking its best. Regular sweeping and prompt cleanup of spills is all it needs to succeed.
When you go with laminate flooring, you have several species, looks, plank styles and finishes to choose from. There's something to fit your style in whatever direction you're leaning.
Laminate wood designs include long traditional planks, wide planks for a more casual feel or narrow planks that provide a tailored, classic look. Finishes range from hand-scraped textures that provide an antique feel to oil-style finishes that offer a more elevated look.
The embossing technology used in laminate replicates ceramic, porcelain tile and natural stone. 16-inch formats are the most popular, but several other shapes and sizes are available.
Laminate flooring is measured on an AC (Abrasion Class) scale that determines how well it holds up to wear. This ranges from AC1 (light residential use) to AC5 (heavy commercial use). In most homes, an AC3 or AC4 rated laminate works for day-to-day durability. Our team will help you match the right rating to the room's use.
Traditional laminate is sensitive to excessive moisture so it isn't ideal for bathrooms or outdoor use. However, modern laminate flooring options are waterproof and come equipped with waterproof cores. Because of this, they last in kitchens, laundry rooms and other moisture-prone areas. Ask our team about these laminate lines.
Compared to other flooring types, laminate flooring installation is fairly straightforward. Generally, it's "floated" over the subfloor instead of glued, nailed or stapled down. Leaving a small gap around the room's perimeter, it snaps together with no visible seams between pieces.
Our team takes care of every detail of your professional laminate flooring installation including trim, transitions and molding. When you choose flooring installation services from Floors To Go of Lighthouse Point, you get a team with the experience to get it right.
Underlayment is the most important part of these projects. The cushioned layer absorbs sound, helps hold the floating floor in place and acts as a moisture barrier. It's purchased and installed separately in most cases, but some laminate products come with underlayment pre-attached. Some options have antimicrobial properties that stop mold from growing if the backing gets wet. We recommend investing in what your budget allows and our team will help you choose the right option for your space.

Laminate flooring is a synthetic flooring product made up of compressed wood fibers and resin. It has multiple layers including a high-detail photographic image and textured embossing that looks like real wood, tile or stone at an affordable price. Plus, it's protected by a wear layer and some options have a waterproof core.
Traditional laminate is not waterproof. It's sensitive to moisture and not recommended for bathrooms or outdoor spaces. However, waterproof laminate flooring resists moisture, making it a strong choice for kitchens and other moisture-prone areas. Our team can direct you toward these product lines.
Prices depend on the AC rating, plank style and finish you choose. Our team will discuss pricing for your project during your consultation and we don't pressure you to upgrade beyond what your space and budget call for.
Both look like wood and come at an accessible price point. However, laminate uses a wood-fiber core and photographic layer and traditional laminate is sensitive to moisture. Luxury vinyl plank (LVP) is fully synthetic and waterproof so it's better for kitchens, bathrooms and homes with kids or pets. Laminate looks more like natural wood, though. We carry both and will suggest the option that makes more sense for your space.
Standard laminate isn't ideal for bathrooms or other consistently wet spaces. In kitchens, waterproof laminate will work, but we usually recommend tile, LVP or engineered hardwood as moisture-resistant alternatives. We help you weigh your options honestly.
Quality laminate flooring lasts 15 to 25 years with proper care. However, lifespans do vary based on the AC rating and the amount of daily wear the room receives.
In many cases, yes. Since laminate is floated, not nailed or glued down, it can easily be installed directly over an existing floor as long as the surface is flat and stable. Our installation team will let you know what's possible for your space.
Laminate flooring can give rooms an updated, cohesive look. That said, it generally doesn't carry the same resale weight as hardwood or tile. Even though it doesn't increase your home's resale value that much, it will improve your space's appearance and durability without overspending.
Regular sweeping or vacuuming, prompt spill cleanups and avoiding excess standing water are good starting points. Laminate doesn't require as much maintenance as hardwood or carpet, but doesn't need refinishing.
Yes, higher AC-rated laminate is durable and lasts in high-traffic areas like hallways, living rooms and family spaces.
