Laminate flooring is a top flooring option that’s affordable, simple to maintain, and highly durable.

You’ll find it all right here, with products spanning all the hottest trends, including waterproof laminate flooring that’s perfect for adding the natural elegance of hardwood to your kitchen and bath spaces. Are you planning to install laminate floors in your home or business soon? Here’s everything you need to know about the ever-evolving world of laminate flooring.
Do you long for the realistic appearance of natural hardwood floors, but would prefer to keep things a little simpler? Laminate flooring is an affordable hardwood alternative that’s made using layers of composite wood. At the surface of every laminate plank is a durable finish that’s ultra stain-resistant and easy to clean.
Next is a decorative layer that’s typically wood look, but can also be stone or tile look. This layer is created using high-definition photography that captures the rich beauty and authentic grains of popular wood species like hickory, oak, maple, and mahogany. Unlike hardwood flooring, your laminate floors won’t cost a small fortune, nor will they ever need to be sanded, polished, or refinished.
Yes. It handles temperature swings well if properly acclimated and installed with expansion gaps. Use moisture-resistant laminate for humid summers.
Yes—with a vapor barrier and dry subfloor. Moisture testing and underlayment are crucial in preventing warping.
Absolutely. Let planks sit in the room for 48–72 hours before installation so they adjust to Annville’s humidity and temperature.
Standard laminate is water-resistant, not waterproof. Use waterproof-grade laminate for kitchens, entryways, or laundry rooms.
Sweep or vacuum regularly and use a damp mop (not wet). Avoid steam mops and clean up spills quickly to prevent swelling.
With proper care, laminate typically lasts 10–20 years. High-quality products hold up better to seasonal humidity changes.
No, laminate can’t be sanded or refinished—replace damaged boards instead.

“First, Susan was very helpful in picking my rug and laminate flooring. Prices are reasonable and materials are of good quality. The carpet installers were very good. Installers of the laminate finished up today. Ryan, Cameron, and Chris did a great job. I don't remember the names of the carpet installers, but all of the Allwein people were knowledgeable in their work, friendly, and respectful of my home. A very good experience. And really, Susan is the best." - Faye D.
