Laminate
American Carpets offers laminate flooring produced by the leading manufacturers which include Mohawk, Shaw, Kaindl, Kronotex, Armstrong and Nexstep. We also offer Williamsburg laminate flooring that is manufactured for American Carpets to our specifications. Whether you prefer DIY or would like American Carpets to take care of your installation for you, we are sure you can find a durable laminate floor that’s right for your home. We have laminate flooring available in 7mm, 8mm, 10mm and 12mm thicknesses that come in a variety of colors, widths and styles. Just like hardwood flooring, laminate comes in different finishes like hand scraped, smooth or distressed, with the same colors and characteristics of all real wood species. Some laminates are even made to look like tile or natural stone. Our Williamsburg line is a 12mm product with an ultra-high density core that is twice as resistant to denting as a regular high density core. We also have it engineered with the patented uni-clic locking system and pressed edges to help resist water damage from accidental spills. Having Williamsburg laminate manufactured for us allows you to purchase a state of the art, high end laminate at discount pricing.
