Laminate flooring is recommended for an environment where the "challenges" of
children and pets exist and it is not significantly noiser than other flooring services.
Laminate flooring is typically more durable, less prone to indent, and has
better stain resistance by the reason of a plastic laminate surface of laminate
, that's been adhered, or "laminated", to a dense wood core center and a synthetic backing material.
The choice of underlayment will have the greatest effect in reducing noise
from pedestrian foot traffic. Your laminate retailer or flooring specialist
will be able to guide you to the underlayment which is right for your
installation situation.
