Laminate flooring
What Is Laminate Flooring?
Laminate flooring by Royal Hardwood Refinishing and Home Renovation is a modern, cost-effective alternative to traditional hardwood floors. Made from multiple layers of high-quality resins and fiberboard fused together under heat, pressure, and adhesive, laminate offers the look of real wood with unmatched durability and practicality.
Unlike natural hardwood, laminate does not contain real wood. A clear protective top layer safeguards the wood-look design underneath, making it resistant to scratches, dents, and daily wear — a perfect choice for busy homes in Toronto, Mississauga, Burlington, Oakville, Hamilton, and the GTA.
Benefits of Laminate Flooring by Royal Hardwood Refinishing and Home Renovation
Choosing Royal Hardwood Refinishing and Home Renovation for laminate flooring means investing in quality, style, and long-lasting performance for your home renovation.
1. Low Maintenance and Long-Lasting
Laminate flooring is easy to clean and maintain. Simply sweep, vacuum, or mop to keep your floors looking pristine. Unlike hardwood refinishing, laminate doesn’t require frequent sanding or staining, making it an ideal, cost-effective solution for busy households.
2. Quick and Easy Installation
Our laminate floors feature a click-and-lock system that requires no nails, glue, or staples. This allows for fast flooring installation over nearly any subfloor — including concrete, vinyl, or plywood. Many installations are completed in a single day with minimal disruption to your home.
3. Realistic Hardwood Appearance
Modern laminate flooring replicates the natural beauty of real hardwood with realistic wood grain textures and colors. Whether your style is classic, modern, or contemporary, our wide selection ensures a perfect match for your interior design. Laminate is also an excellent option for budget-friendly renovations and hardwood restoration projects.
4. Versatility for Every Room
Unlike hardwood, laminate doesn’t expand or contract with humidity or temperature changes, making it ideal for kitchens, basements, living rooms, and even high-moisture areas. Laminate is versatile, stylish, and functional — perfect for condos, townhomes, and full-home renovations.
5. Exceptional Durability
Laminate is highly resistant to scratches, dents, UV damage, and heavy foot traffic. It’s perfect for homes with pets or children and is often preferred over hardwood for stair refinishing and high-traffic areas. With proper care, laminate flooring installed by Royal Hardwood can last for decades.
