Today’s laminate flooring is designed to provide realistic hardwood and stone visuals without requiring the same level of upkeep as many natural materials. It works especially well in homes where durability, simple maintenance, and design flexibility are priorities.
Select laminate flooring products feature waterproof or enhanced water-resistant construction that provides additional protection against spills, tracked-in moisture, and household accidents. These products may be suitable for kitchens, entryways, mudrooms, laundry rooms, and other areas where moisture is more likely.
Waterproof and water-resistant classifications vary by manufacturer and product. Our team can explain each floor’s performance rating, warranty requirements, and approved installation areas, so you can select the best water-resistant laminate floors.

“We changed over 1000 square feet of tile on the floor of our first floor (foyer, kitchen, eating area, laundry room, powder room, mud room, and sun room) to a high-end laminate. Michelle, our salesperson, was knowledgeable and personable--and not pushy, which we appreciated. The job was tedious and our installers did an amazing job of hammering out the old tile and laying the new floor. It was a messy job, but the installers worked hard to contain the dust. There are many people to thank for the job from start to finish. Sam was there the entire time to make sure we were happy. I highly recommend Martins Flooring!”
