Laminate flooring is easy to install and carries a perfect shine. It never fades, wears or stains and is recommended for dry areas of your home. Sutherlands does not normally suggest laminate flooring for bathrooms or other high-humidity areas.

Laminate flooring can be considered a “floating floor.”When it is installed, it is not attached to the supporting surface below; a foam pad is placed under the floor to decrease impact and wear and tear. Laminate flooring provides a realistic hardwood, tile or stone look for a more affordable price.

The cleanup for laminate floors is quick and easy. The high-tech surface of laminate floors is designed to be easily vacuumed or cleaned with a damp mop or rag. Do not use a wet mop, however –this type of floor is designed for a dry area like kitchens or bedrooms.
