Title: Waterproof Laminate Flooring: Why It's Making a Comeback in Winston-Salem, Greensboro & Beyond

If you’re a homeowner in Guilford or Forsyth County—whether you're in Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point, Kernersville, or Summerfield—you’ve likely heard of luxury vinyl plank (LVP) as the go-to waterproof flooring option. But there’s a new contender taking center stage: waterproof laminate flooring.

Why Laminate Is Back—and Better Than Ever

A decade ago, laminate flooring had a bad reputation when it came to moisture. Homeowners often dealt with swelling, peeling, or warping if water was left sitting too long. Because of that, many people turned to LVP for its water resistance and durability.

But fast forward to today—and laminate flooring has completely evolved.

The Waterproof Revolution

Thanks to advanced manufacturing and waterproof core technology, modern laminate is now built to withstand spills, humidity, and even wet mopping. Top brands offer products with sealed edges, moisture-resistant backing, and 100% waterproof cores, making them a viable option even for kitchens, bathrooms, and basements in North Carolina homes.

Why Many Homeowners Now Prefer Laminate Over LVP

Here in the Triad—whether in Greensboro, High Point, or Winston-Salem—more and more customers are choosing waterproof laminate over vinyl plank for a few key reasons:

  • Realistic wood appearance: Laminate offers unmatched realism with embossed textures and sharp visuals that more closely mimic natural hardwood.

  • Superior scratch resistance: Laminate's wear layer makes it better suited for homes with pets, kids, and heavy foot traffic.

  • Eco-conscious options: Many laminate options are made with recycled content and have lower VOC emissions.
