What is the difference between laminate and vinyl flooring?

Question

Accepted Answer

Both laminate and vinyl flooring are budget-friendly options for remodeling projects, but they do have a difference that may influence the choice. Laminate has a core made of wood fibers with a top layer of melamine plastic. Vinyl, on the other hand, is made entirely of synthetic material with a urethane top-coat. Both types of flooring do a decent job of mimicking natural wood, but laminate gives a more realistic look. As vinyl has no natural materials in core or top, it offers better resistance to heat and water. As far as durability is concerned, newer vinyl flooring offers supreme protection to wear and is suitable for commercial spaces. The price range for both types is usually similar but is still cheaper than solid or engineered hardwoods.
