If you love the look of real hardwood, but are concerned with maintaining its appearance, there is an alternative. Laminate floors are beautiful, extremely durable, and easy to clean. It's well suited for high-traffic areas, busy family kitchens, and homes with children and pets.

Like hardwood, laminate is available in various widths and lengths and is less expensive than real wood. Wood-look laminate flooring is made to look like wood, but the decorative layer is actually a photograph. Most laminates have four-ply construction: a backing or balancing layer, a moisture-resistant wood-based core of high or medium-density fiberboard, a decorative layer, and a wear-resistant layer of melamine resins.

Laminate is fast becoming a favourite alternative in many interior decorating plans. Laminate flooring can also show the texture of ceramic tile and stone. Laminate flooring manufacturers use sophisticated, computerized technology to create realistic designs. The flooring experts at Maguire Floors can show you a wide variety of laminate flooring. Let us help you find the right floor for your lifestyle.
