Embossed and hand-scraped surfaces add authentic depth and character that you can both see and feel.

Why it works in Arizona homes

Why homeowners choose it

Laminate gives you the look of real hardwood or stone for a fraction of the cost. Its surface shrugs off the bumps and scrapes of daily life.

How it performs

A tough, clear wear layer makes it exceptionally scratch and dent resistant. Many modern lines are water resistant, so they work in more rooms than ever.

Why buy from State 48

We stock durable, great-looking laminate from brands like Eternity and Engage. The click-lock system installs fast over most subfloors.

Why homeowners choose it

The advantages of laminate

Budget friendly

Laminate delivers the look of wood or stone for far less, making it perfect for larger projects and whole-home refreshes.

Extremely durable

The tough wear layer resists scratches, dents and scuffs, standing up to kids, pets and heavy furniture with ease.

Realistic looks

High-definition visuals and embossed textures closely mimic natural hardwood and stone in a huge range of styles.

Easy to clean

A quick sweep and occasional damp mop is all it takes to keep laminate looking sharp day after day.

Fade resistant

Laminate holds its color well against strong Arizona sunlight, so rooms stay consistent over time.

Fast installation

The click-lock system installs efficiently over many subfloors, getting you back to normal life sooner.

Care & maintenance

Keeping your laminate beautiful

Sweep or vacuum

Regular dry cleaning removes grit that can dull the surface. Use a hard-floor vacuum setting without a beater bar.

Damp mop only

Use a well-wrung mop and a laminate-safe cleaner. Avoid soaking the floor, since standing water can reach the seams.

Wipe spills promptly

Even on water-resistant lines, cleaning up spills quickly keeps moisture away from plank edges and cores.

Protect from scratches

Felt pads under furniture legs and mats at entrances help the wear layer stay looking new for years.

A closer look

AC ratings and thickness explained

AC ratings

Laminate durability is graded by an AC rating, and AC3 to AC4 covers most homes. We match the rating to how each room is actually used.

Plank thickness

Thicker planks feel more solid underfoot and bridge minor subfloor imperfections. Many include an attached underlayment that cushions each step and cuts hollow sound.

Texture & edges

Embossed-in-register textures align the grain with the printed surface for realism. Beveled edges define each plank, and you can see the difference in our samples.

Pricing & value

What does laminate cost?

Laminate is one of the most cost-effective floors, with price set by thickness, texture and water resistance. Thicker, water-resistant lines cost a little more for a premium look.

Efficient installation keeps total project costs low, ideal for larger areas. Your free in-home estimate covers subfloor prep and old-floor removal.

Laminate questions

Frequently asked questions

Traditional laminate is water resistant rather than fully waterproof, though many modern lines offer enhanced water protection. For wet areas like full baths and laundry rooms, we often recommend luxury vinyl instead, and we will steer you to the right product for each space.
