Laminate Flooring Installation in Philadelphia, PA

Laminate gives a hard-wearing, realistic wood look at a lower cost than both hardwood and most luxury vinyl, and its wear surface is genuinely tough against scratching. In a bedroom, a living room or a hallway it does everything that is needed.

It has one weakness and it matters enormously. Laminate has a fibreboard core. Water that reaches that core swells it permanently, and swollen laminate cannot be dried, sanded or repaired, only replaced. Putting laminate in a bathroom is the single most common expensive flooring mistake, and it is entirely avoidable.

Hardline Surface Co. fits laminate across Philadelphia, PA in the rooms where it belongs, and will tell you plainly when vinyl is the better answer for the room you are asking about.

Water-resistant is not waterproof. A water-resistant laminate survives a spill wiped up quickly. It does not survive a dishwasher supply line letting go overnight.

Laminate Flooring Installation FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Laminate Flooring Installation

Questions we hear most often about Laminate Flooring Installation in Philadelphia, PA.

Talk to a real person
Can laminate go in a bathroom?
No. The fibreboard core swells permanently once water reaches it, and swollen laminate can only be replaced, not dried or repaired. Use sheet vinyl, waterproof LVP or tile instead.
Porcelain or ceramic, which should I choose?
Porcelain absorbs under 0.5% water and suits wet areas, exteriors and freeze-prone spaces. Ceramic costs less and is perfectly good for dry indoor floors, walls and backsplashes.
Is water-resistant the same as waterproof?
No. Water-resistant survives a spill wiped up quickly. Waterproof survives a supply line failing overnight. Only one of those is what a bathroom or laundry floor actually faces.
Do I need underlayment over a concrete slab?
You need a moisture barrier. Concrete passes vapour continuously even when it reads completely dry, and skipping it is how floors cup and adhesive fails months after a perfect installation.
What is the best floor for a laundry room?
Sheet vinyl. It arrives in one continuous piece with no seams, and seams are exactly where water reaches the subfloor when an appliance fails.
