Laminate Tile & Plank Flooring

Options for Laminate Tile Flooring

Installing high-end hardwood or stone flooring is a desirable option. However, it doesn’t always fit in the budget of everyone who might want it. Instead, consider laminate tile flooring that looks like tile stone or hardwood planks from Greatmats. Such floors have a lot of advantages over the real thing, including being easier to install and maintain. Mostly, though, they deliver a realistic look at a fraction of the cost.

Types of Laminate Floor Tiles

You can select from two types of laminate floor tiles from Greatmats.

Square Tiles

Interlocking tiles can resemble stone or hardwood floors. This square laminate flooring is easy to handle at 1-by-1-foot per tile. Many of them use hidden interlocking edges, so all you see in the final layout from our tile-looking laminate flooring is clean lines.

Planks

Planks made from real hardwood have a rectangular shape, and our laminate planks mimic the shape of hardwood planks. In addition to click-together vinyl planks, we offer engineered hardwood flooring.

Laminate Tile Flooring Q&A

What are the pros and cons of laminate flooring?

The pros of tile laminate flooring include that it’s easy to install as a DIY project, it offers comfort under foot, and it has a low price. It’s usable in areas with moisture. Some of the cons of square laminate flooring include that you cannot refinish it and – even though it looks like hardwood – it feels slightly different than hardwood when walking on it.

Is laminate flooring water resistant?

Yes, laminate flooring can be water resistant. Some laminate tiles use materials like wood or composites in the core that might soak up water. Other types of laminate flooring tiles consist of water-resistant materials in the core and contain a waterproof vinyl laminate surface.

Can you put laminate over tile, concrete, or plywood?

Yes, you can put laminate over tile, concrete, or plywood. As long as the underlying flooring is flat, level, and in good condition, new laminate flooring can go directly over the top. If it’s in poor shape, you might need to make repairs before putting down the new laminate flooring tiles.

How long does laminate flooring last?

The longevity of laminate flooring depends on the materials in use. Cork laminate flooring can last several years with proper care. Laminate raised tile floors can last up to 15 years. Peel-and-stick laminate planks should last at least 10 years.

Does laminate vinyl plank flooring look like real wood?

Yes, laminate vinyl plank flooring can look like real wood. It has a printed layer over the top that contains the appropriate colors and wood grain patterns that resemble actual hardwood. It feels different underfoot than actual hardwood, but the look is similar.
