Now that you are ready to give your home, particularly your worn out floors a huge makeover, the next task that you have on your plate is choosing which type of flooring installation to use. There are several types of flooring systems that you can choose from:

•    Hardwood Floors

•    Trusses

•    Concrete

•    Laminates

These types of flooring systems or installations are also dependent on factors such as the traffic inside your house, your budget as well as the overall theme of your house. But if you are looking for a really versatile type of floor, laminate flooring should definitely on top of your list of choices.

What is Laminate Flooring?

This is a type of flooring installation or product made of really durable compounds. Laminate floors come in different designs and thickness to suit your needs. So if you are looking for a more lightweight and easy to install floors with lots of looks to choose from, then this type of flooring is for you.

Types of Laminate Floors Based on Surface Textures

Of course, you have to make sure that you know how to find the right kind or quality of laminate floors for your home. And the best way to do this is to know the different types of laminate flooring systems available in the market.


Depending on the look that you want to achieve, here are the choices that you can consider:

•    Textured or embossed – this type of laminate flooring come with embossed graining and textures which can appear like wood, marble or stones. Although the actual grains are not as similar to the real ones, you cannot deny that the way they look can definitely deceive anyone who looks at your laminate flooring.

•    Smooth – if you want something that is not overly lavish, then a smooth finish is definitely the one for you. This type of laminate can also come in different designs similar to the textured ones, so you can get the same effect without the embossed effects.

•    Distressed or Scraped – for those who are looking for laminates that give any floor an antique finish, distressed laminate flooring can be used. These are hand scraped to give the once smooth laminate more texture similar to the ones that engineered hardwood panels have.

•    Embossed in Registration – if you are not satisfied with the textured type, you can go for the embossed in registration flooring which is designed and made to look exactly like natural wood grain.
