Have questions about laminate? We have answers! Here are some of the most commonly asked questions we get at Hampton Flooring Center.
How is laminate made?Laminate flooring is made up of several layers of high-density fiberboard, bonded together under immense heat and pressure. It features a decorative visual layer that mimics the look and feel of other natural flooring materials such as hardwood, as well as a wear layer to protect the surface.
Can I install my own laminate flooring?While laminate flooring is easier to install than other types of flooring, we still recommend a professional installation. Letting our installers handle your project will ensure maximum quality and performance of your flooring. Doing your own installation could void the manufacturer's warranty if anything were to go wrong.
One of my laminate planks is damaged. Can I replace it?Yes! In fact, this is part of the beauty of laminate—the ability to install planks with ease. It's simple to remove individual planks, too. Be sure to order extra product at the time of purchase so you'll have it on hand if replacements are ever needed.
Is laminate easy to clean?Yes! Laminate is a hard surface product that won't accumulate dust or allergens, so it is considered hypoallergenic.
