Laminate flooring emerged on the residential flooring scene decades ago as an easy-to-install, attractive, and durable alternative to solid hardwood flooring. Its technology has advanced by leaps and bounds since that time, with sharper high-definition imaging, deeper embossing, better seaming mechanisms, and a host of other innovations. Yet no floor covering is perfect. In all of the major categories related to flooring—installation, cleaning, durability, and more laminate flooring possesses both pros and cons. Manufacturers have been working hard on improvements. Micro bevels, deeper texturing, and better graphics reproduction have brought it closer to the cachet enjoyed by solid hardwood and engineered wood flooring, Some laminate floors can last as much as 25 years or more in rooms that see light use, while others installed in heavy traffic areas may need replacement in as little as 10 years.

Laminate flooring has a wear layer that protects the photographic layer underneath and makes it somewhat resistant to scratches and dents, and very resistant to stains. Some manufacturers even issue very generous 10+ year warranties on the wear layer itself. If you do get a stain, it is usually easy to clean off. It is always advisable to use the manufacturers recommended cleaner. It normally states in the warranty that you must use their cleaner should you ever have to claim!
