A budget-friendly, thick-plank waterproof laminate with excellent scratch resistance, best kept out of rooms that flood.
Pros
- Thick 12 mm planks with embossed texture look and feel closer to real wood than thin laminate or vinyl
- AC4 rating plus a lifetime pet-scratch warranty makes the wood-fiber surface very scratch-resistant
- One of the cheaper wood-look options (around $2.49-2.79/sq ft) with a pre-attached pad included
Cons
- Surface-sealed, not fully waterproof like vinyl - prolonged standing water or a flood can still swell the core, so it is a weaker pick for full baths and basements
- Harder, hollower sound underfoot than vinyl unless you add a quality underlayment
- Cannot be sanded or refinished, and cut edges can chip during install
