Laminate floors were in use in Europe long before they made their way into mainstream interior design in the States. Consumers can be glad they’re here. They offer exceptional durability and stain resistance and are easy to maintain. And these days, designers say, they even look like wood!
"When laminate first came out, it only came in three shades -- maple, natural, or cherry -- and the cherry could be really pink," says Jamila Wilson, Specifications Designer with Courtney Ford Design of San Diego. "It had an artificial look. Now, however, you can’t easily tell the difference between laminate and hardwood."
