If you’re considering laminate flooring in South Lake Tahoe, CA, you’re not alone! Water-resistant and durable, laminate flooring is the perfect alternative to hardwood or stone. But for those who grew up with a laminate floor that was sub-par in the design department, you may not think this flooring meets your modern interior design specs. However, you may be surprised to learn that this manufactured marvel has improved drastically in recent years, making it a popular choice for home improvement projects. At Alpine Carpet One Floor & Home of Lake South Tahoe, CA, we can help you navigate the evolving world of laminate flooring.
Today’s laminate flooring creates stunning visuals that are often hard to differentiate from their hardwood and tile counterparts. It’s an excellent option for those seeking budget-friendly flooring that looks great and performs in active homes. Laminate is made from multiple layers of composite wood, or a wood byproduct and a high-definition textured wood-look design printed on the top layer. For this reason, laminate floors–even expensive designs–can be produced affordably.

Or are you looking for a floor that has an expensive hardwood look and feel?
