Style

Both laminate floor and tile floor boasts of an extremely extensive variety of texture and look.

In the past, laminate was just a replicate of popular wood flooring; but technology has enabled it to realistically copy the look of natural stone and even tile. Tiles that are made to look like marble and other more expensive stone flooring types can fool even experts on first glance.
