Oak-Look Laminate Flooring

How Do I Install Oak-Look Flooring?

How you install your oak-look flooring will depend on your product. Some options, such as peel-and-stick vinyl, are suitable for novice DIYers. Click-together flooring is also DIY-friendly. Tile is often best left to professionals or those DIYers experienced with using mortar and grout. If you are installing it yourself, be sure to space your tiles closely, stagger the seams, and use matching color grout to create a more realistic hardwood design.

How Do I Maintain My Oak-Look Flooring?

One of the benefits of oak-look flooring is that you can enjoy the appearance of hardwood in a product that may offer a higher level of wear and water resistance. Specific maintenance methods will, of course, depend on the type of flooring material you choose. In general, it’s best to clean up spills as soon as possible, even if your floor is considered water-resistant. Waterproof flooring is the easiest to maintain since it can be wet-mopped. Felt padding on your furniture legs can provide additional protection against scratches and scuffs.

What is the Most Affordable Oak-Look Flooring?

Many choose oak-look flooring over actual oak hardwood due to its lower cost. But even within our selection of oak-look designs, you'll come across a range of price points. Our vinyl and laminate options tend to be the most budget-friendly, while hybrid resilient, cork, and some porcelain tile products cost more per square foot. Additionally, you'll find a variety of prices within each type of flooring, so it's wise to browse all categories before making a decision.

With our vast selection of colors and designs, we’re confident you’ll be able to find an oak-look flooring product that’s both suitable to your lifestyle and budget, and complementary to your décor.
