How durable are laminate floors?

Laminate flooring is long-lasting and highly durable because of its four-level construction. The surface is made with aluminum oxide which is one of the hardest substances on earth and provides a very robust and wear resistant surface relative to other types of flooring. Laminate is ideal for active families, pets, and children, making it a great choice for heavy traffic areas. Laminate can be used in the kitchen and bathrooms if proper installation instructions are followed.
