Laminate or vinyl plank

Two Wood Looks, Built Differently

Both floors look like wood and both go down as planks. What's inside them is different, and that changes where each one fits best.

  1. Laminate

    Wood-fiber core

    A firm floor with a wood-like feel for living rooms, bedrooms and halls.

    CoreWood fiber
    FeelFirm
    WaterVaries by product
  2. Vinyl plank

    Vinyl or rigid core

    A little softer underfoot, and many are made to handle spills.

How a plank floor goes down

Planned Before the First Plank

These photos are wood-look plank floors from our jobs. Your estimate names the exact product for your rooms.

Step by step

  1. An open room with half of a new wood-look plank floor installed.

    Install

    Row by row

    After the prep, the planks go down row by row, with the joints staggered so no two seams line up.

  2. A herringbone plank floor with a white baseboard along its edge.

    Edges

    Baseboards close the edge

    Baseboards go on after the floor, so they sit right on it all the way around.

  3. A plank floor running through a doorway with white casings.

    Doorways

    One floor between rooms

    We plan where the floor runs through a doorway and where a transition is needed.

Questions

Laminate questions we hear in Bradenton

Is laminate cheaper than vinyl plank?

It depends on the products you compare. Some laminates cost less than some vinyl planks, and some cost more. We price the ones you're considering for your rooms, in writing, so you can compare real numbers.

Laminate or LVP: which one should I pick?

If a room sees water, or kids and pets come in wet from the pool, vinyl plank is often the easier floor to live with. If you want a firm, wood-like feel in a living room or bedroom, laminate is worth a look. We'll go through it room by room.

Can laminate go in a laundry room?

For rooms that see water, vinyl plank or tile is often the safer choice. Some laminates are rated for it, so we check the exact product with you before you decide.

Do you take out the old floor first?

Yes. We take out the old floor and prep the slab or subfloor before the new one goes in. See old floor removal and prep.
