    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.

    I had a good experience with Smart Carpet. Salesman/Estimator Louie was very friendly, polite and respectful. He explained everything to me and gave me his cell number in case I had any questions. Then he stopped by to see how the job was going during the install.The installers were very nice and did a great job on my kitchen floor putting down a luan base and vinyl sheet flooring.I am very happy with the end result.

    Smart Carpet did a great job for us in Galloway Township.Our sales representative, Joe Orlando, helped us pick the right flooring product, and the installation process included moving the heavy furniture and hauling off the old flooring, all at a competitive price.We are a repeat customer since 2005, wow, 20 years ago!

    John, our salesman, came to our home. He measured the area and brought up samples of different carpets. He was very knowledgeable and very honest. John helped us choose what was best for our home. Within a week’s time the carpet with padding was installed by Sam. He was on time and did an excellent installation job. He was friendly and followed all the rules for our condo building.I would definitely recommend Smart Carpet. Everything went smoothly and we are very happy with the team at Smart Carpet.

    I am so pleased I used SMART Carpet to install new carpeting in my home. I worked with Nicole Bonner, who was the absolute best and so knowledgeable and responsive to my questions. The installers were fabulous - very professional, and did a flawless job installing the carpeting. They also cleaned up after themselves and did a fairly big job in a single day. I strongly recommend them!

    Louie was our Smart Carpet sales representative for our home in Somerset County. Louie was extremely helpful in helping us decide on the best option for our carpet needs. He was extremely knowledgeable on all of the products that were offered and explained everything in great detail and made great recommendations. Louie went the extra mile in contacting the warehouses to ensure that the selection that we made was available and could be installed in a timely manner. The installation team that arrived a few days later to install the carpet was meticulous with their work and the carpet came out perfect. Louie followed up with us every step of the way including after the carpet installation to make sure that we had no issues even days after the installation. We will be contacting Louie in the near future for our additional carpet needs and we highly recommend using Smart Carpet for your carpet needs.

    Hired Smart Carpet to install new carpeting in the common areas of one of the buildings in our condo association. Couldn’t be happier with the results. These folks wet incredibly easy to work with. Within a week or so after accepting the proposal, the installers were there. Incredibly hard workers. I was concerned about damage to the somewhat newly painted walls and baseboards, but this was not an issue. I would like to mention too that the salesman, Adam, was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend this company! One last thing, the proposal could not be beat by another carpet company.

    Worked with SmartCarpet as they are the authorized dealers who work with Costco. My estimate was done by John who was great. He reviewed all the options and was professional and through. I did have some issues during my installation but was contacted by SmartCarpet once I gave the feedback. We discussed some areas of improvement and Jude reviewed the process and offered solutions along w/ a direct number for further communication.

    Five years ago Smart Carpet put down an engineered floor throughout my new condo, five rooms. It became apparent that the flooring was not holding up well. Smart carpet addressed the issue by replacing parts of the floor. But addition issues kept cropping up. I spoke with John N, my sales rep, who came and examined the floor. He came up with a plan to replace the flooring in my entire condo after five years of use!! He replaced it with a totally new flooring that eliminated all the pitfalls that were associated with the previous product. It has now been six months since my new floor was put down. There are absolutely no issues. The installation is fabulous. I waited this long to write the review so I could see if issues developed. There are none. I couldn’t be happier. The only cost to me was the difference in the cost of the original flooring to the new flooring, minor indeed. The bottom line is that Smart Carpet stands behind their products and their installers. They value their customers!!
