Laminate Flooring Durability

< back to laminate flooring

Engineered hardwood flooring will dent more easily than laminate flooring and there is a wide variance of hardness levels between different species of wood. Also, engineered hardwood flooring tends to change color over time and can fade when constantly exposed to direct sunlight but it is extremely stain resistant. Laminate flooring is more scratch resistant than engineered hardwood flooring. You simply won't fade or stain laminate flooring. Overall, laminate flooring is long-lasting, but the durability gap is narrowing with the advent of extremely durable finishes such as aluminum oxide, which is being used extensively as a finish for engineered hardwood flooring.
