Find durable laminate flooring you'll love

What does the AC rating mean?

The AC rating measures the durability of a laminate floor's wear layer. Higher ratings indicate greater resistance to everyday wear.

• AC1: Light residential use
• AC2: Moderate residential traffic
• AC3: Heavy residential and light commercial use
• AC4: General commercial applications
• AC5: High-traffic commercial spaces

For most Kansas City homes, AC3 laminate flooring offers the ideal balance of durability and value. We'll help you choose the right rating based on your home's traffic levels.

Laminate flooring is available in a wide variety of styles to complement nearly every home.

Wood-look laminate remains the most popular choice, replicating the appearance of oak, maple, hickory, walnut, and other hardwood species. Many products also feature embossed textures that closely match the grain pattern for a more natural appearance.

Stone-look laminate recreates the look of slate, marble, concrete, and tile while providing a warmer, more comfortable surface.

You'll also find narrow and wide planks, along with smooth, textured, and hand-scraped finishes that let you customize the overall look of your space.

Light-colored laminate creates an open, airy appearance and works well in smaller spaces.

Medium wood tones remain a favorite because they're timeless, versatile, and hide dust better than very light or dark floors.

Dark laminate adds warmth and elegance, creating beautiful contrast in larger rooms.

Gray and greige floors continue to be popular for homeowners looking for a clean, contemporary design that coordinates with many decorating styles.

How do you clean and maintain laminate floors?

One of laminate flooring's biggest advantages is how easy it is to maintain.

Sweep or vacuum regularly using a hard-floor setting to remove dirt and grit. Damp mop occasionally with a manufacturer-approved laminate cleaner, and wipe up spills promptly.

Place mats at entryways to reduce tracked-in debris, and use felt pads beneath furniture to help prevent scratches.

Avoid excessive water and steam mops unless the flooring manufacturer specifically recommends them.

With simple routine care, laminate wood flooring can look beautiful for many years.

Is laminate flooring waterproof?

Traditional laminate is water-resistant, but many newer waterproof laminate flooring products offer enhanced protection against spills and moisture, making them a great choice for kitchens, entryways, and other busy areas.

Can laminate flooring be installed over existing flooring?

Often, yes. Laminate flooring can usually be installed over clean, level, structurally sound hard-surface flooring. We'll evaluate your existing floor and recommend the best installation method.

How long does laminate flooring last?

With proper installation and routine maintenance, quality laminate flooring can last 15 to 25 years or longer. Choosing the appropriate AC rating also helps maximize its lifespan.

Can laminate flooring be refinished?

No. Laminate wood flooring cannot be sanded or refinished because the decorative surface is a printed image rather than solid wood. Damaged planks can often be replaced individually.
