Laminate flooring products compare favourably with other flooring used in commercial settings. Where you need a floor that is going to have a lot of people walking across it, especially retail locations, laminates give you the look of wood floors without the constant need for maintenance.

Also ideal in restaurants or public houses as the smooth, impermeable surface doesn't absorb spills and stains as wood will. It can also be installed in such a way as to reduced the hard acoustics which can result from wooden floors.

The cost effectiveness of laminate flooring is another big draw. Principally the speed of installation is less down to the modular construction of laminate floors. On top of this you have reduced subfloor preparation.
