    Laminate flooring is made of several layers that are fused together through a lamination process. The top layer is a clear, hard-plastic wear layer that protects the floor from scratches and fading. Below it is a high-resolution photograph of real wood or stone, giving it a realistic appearance. The core layer is made of fiberboard or particleboard, providing durability and stability.

    Laminate flooring is a practical and attractive flooring option for homes, offering the aesthetic appeal of real wood or stone with added durability and resistance to wear and tear.

    Benefits of Laminate Flooring

    Laminate flooring offers numerous benefits in a home. Its durability makes it ideal for high-traffic areas and households with pets and children. Maintenance is a breeze, as it is easily cleaned with regular sweeping and occasional mopping. Additionally, the installation of laminate flooring is simple and effective.

    Laminate flooring is also water-resistant, and with some brands waterproof. This makes it suitable for kitchens and bathrooms and the whole house. It is fade and stain-resistant, ensuring that it maintains its appearance over time. The versatility of laminate flooring allows for a wide range of styles and colors, making it easy to find the perfect fit for any home decor.

    One of the standout benefits of laminate flooring is its cost-effectiveness. It offers the look of hardwood or stone at a fraction of the cost, allowing homeowners to achieve the aesthetic they desire without breaking the bank. In conclusion, laminate flooring provides a durable, low-maintenance, easy-to-install, water-resistant, versatile, and cost-effective option for any home.

    Types of Laminate Flooring

    Laminate flooring comes in a variety of types, including wood, stone, and tile finishes. Wood laminate flooring offers the look of hardwood with a lower price tag, making it an affordable and durable option for any room. Stone laminate flooring mimics the appearance of natural stone, providing a high-end look without the cost and maintenance. Tile laminate flooring replicates the look of ceramic or porcelain tiles, offering a versatile and stylish option for kitchens and bathrooms.

    These laminate flooring options come in various colors, surface treatments, and plank thicknesses, allowing for customization to suit any style or preference. Wood laminate can come in oak, maple, cherry, and other finishes, while stone and tile laminates offer options like marble, slate, and travertine looks. Surface treatments like embossing, hand-scraped textures, and high gloss finishes add visual interest and different feels underfoot.

    The latest trends in laminate flooring include wider planks for a modern and spacious look, as well as mixed-width planks for a unique and rustic appearance. Gray tones and muted colors are popular choices, providing a contemporary and timeless aesthetic. Laminate flooring with realistic textures and high-definition prints continue to gain popularity, offering a natural and sophisticated look for any space.

    Advantages and Disadvantages of Laminate Flooring Compared to Other Types of Flooring

    Laminate flooring offers several advantages compared to other types of flooring. It is more affordable and easier to install, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious homeowners. However, laminate flooring lacks the ability to be refinished and is not moisture-proof, which can be a disadvantage in certain environments.

    One of the benefits of laminate flooring is its extreme resilience, making it resistant to scratches, dents, and stains. Additionally, it comes in a wide variety of designs and styles, giving it a beautiful appearance that can mimic the look of hardwood or stone. Maintenance is also simple, as laminate flooring only requires regular sweeping and occasional mopping to keep it looking its best.

    Compared to other flooring options, laminate flooring is a cost-effective choice that offers easy installation, durability, and low maintenance. However, it may not be suitable for areas with high moisture content and does not have the option of refinishing, unlike hardwood flooring.

    Very satisfied with the carpet and installation we had installed in our home in Sussex County, NJ. Louie came right out to go over pricing and our different options and got it scheduled right away. Very pleasant to work with. The install crew were very courteous, friendly, clean and did a great job. They also took very good care of the furniture in each room they had to take apart and move. Very satisfied and would recommend them to others.

    (Morris County) We are return customers and were looking to update our Family room. Louie was fantastic in helping pick us out the right carpet for our room. He was very knowledgeable and took the time to go over the different styles and qualities, as well as proper care for our new carpet. He even came by the day of installation to make sure everything was to our liking. The installers did a great job and we are very pleased with their work. I highly recommend Louie and the Smart Carpet team!

    Great experience with Smart carpet in Middlesex County. Louie came to the house with tons of samples and was helpful and very patient despite my indecisiveness. What I finally decided on arrived as expected in 4 weeks and I am so happy with my choices. The installation went well and Louie even came back during the process to make sure all was going well! Great experience with this company!!

    I love my new carpet! This is my third time working with Nicole and the Smart Carpet and Flooring team and they have gone above and beyond every time. Nicole helped me pick the color - she really had an awesome eye for what would match the existing flooring for seamless coordinating transitions.

    Had a small issue with one of the planks and Smart Carpet handled perfectly. Replaced not only the affected planks, but all of the planks leading up to it, so that the connections wouldn’t cause future issues due to disconnecting and reconnecting, without me even asking. They came on time, communicated clearly and were professional. We’ve used them for all of our floors and recommend them highly.

    Smart Carpet was great from the moment Michelle walked in for a consultation. As they say people buy from people. I'm pretty sure I could have gotten someone to do the job cheaper. But at the end of day, what mattered was the consultative process, the ability to listen to what the customer wants and help them in the decision that really stood apart. Michelle spent a good 2 hours with us identifying our needs, consulting with her expert installers on the phone making sure we're making the right choices for the landscape. Of course the Costco partnership was a significant factor but it's the personal attention that really made it easier for us to go with Smart Carpet. My wife & I are easily confused when loads of options are presented and we made that clear upfront. Michelle really took all of that into consideration and made it really easy for us. The installers worked their charm over 2 days and the end result was fantastic. Thank you!

    Smart Carpet did an excellent job installing Revwood laminate flooring. They installed roughly 700 sq ft of flooring in approximately 1/2 day. When they left, everything was cleaned up and the flooring looked great.

    Great company to deal with.. They didn’t sell me anything I didn’t need and met my budget. Louie was a great salesman and had great communication skills. Installers showed up on time and did a great job installing pads and carpets, they did leave me a bit of a mess outside the rooms with carpet peace but all and all good job. Will definitely use them again.

    Our consultant (Louie) was very thorough. He took the time to explain all our options until we found one for our exact budget and preference. My mother was the client, and she doesn't speak English well. Louis patiently explained all the details as I translated the information. Which made his patience in the matter that much more appreciative!The 10 year anniversary of the church will be just in time.I would definitely recommend Smart Carpet as a top choice for all carpeting needs!

    Nicole and her team of installers are fabulous! From the beginning, Nicole spent a lot of time with me and explaining the process of my choice to the actual installment of my carpet. We put the carpet sample next to my paint swatch and found the perfect complement. Nicole is a very hands on rep and calls to make sure all is good with the product, on her day off. I plan on calling this company and Nicole for my next project. Thank you Nicole and Smart Carpet for a job well done.

    My experience using SMART carpet & flooring was great! It all started with my salesman Jay. He was so friendly and knowledgeable, making it easy to find what I wanted for both of the rooms I had carpeted. The quality of the carpeting is terrific, and was not that costly. The installation was done very neatly and made the whole job painless. I love how my new rooms look !

    The entire experience was awesome starting with my salesperson, Bill Hicks, helping me choose the flooring that best met my needs & thoroughly explained every detail. The installers were excellent. In fact when putting my door back which I had problems with prior to the installation, they fixed it. If I could give Smart Carpet 10 stars, I would.
