All Laminate Flooring is NOT the Same


There are so many choices when it comes to laminate flooring today. When laminate flooring was first marketed in the USA in 1994, there were few manufactures and limited choices. Back then, everything was glued together at the edge joints and problems were frequent. Through the years, major innovations and improvements have occurred including easy to install locking joint systems. So what is the difference between all of these brands? Are they all basically the same?

There are two distinct varieties of laminate flooring: Low or Direct pressure (DPL) and High Pressure Laminate (HPL). Wilsonart High Pressure Laminate (HPL) Flooring features a surface that is 3–5x thicker than Low/Direct Pressure Laminate (DPL). This extra thickness means extra protection against: • Dropped cans or dishes that dent • Toys, scooters, pets that scratch or mark • Furniture, high heels or appliances that dent.













As a leading U.S. manufacturer of high pressure laminate for decorative countertops for more than 50 years, Wilsonart is world-renowned for quality. Wilsonart's high pressure laminate flooring uses that same proven technology…which is why it’s consistently voted #1 for quality by flooring retailers.

Wilsonart Flooring has been making high quality, high pressure laminate flooring since 1996. While lots of other laminate flooring manufacturers have come and gone, they've remained true to the basic principles their flooring has always stood for - style, quality and great value. When you buy our flooring, you get more than just a floor. Wilsonart promises that your floor will meet and exceed your expectations for years to come. There is a difference.
