Why laminate is back, and better than ever
Modern laminate isn't the plasticky click-floor of 15 years ago. Today's AC4 and AC5 laminate uses high-resolution printed wear layers, beveled micro-edges, and embossed-in-register textures that read as real hardwood from across the room. Prestigious Flooring & Design's in-house consultants carry European-made laminate for the Greater Alpharetta Area homes that want the look of wood at half the installed cost.
Laminate is the right choice when you want hardwood looks but need a tougher surface - rental properties, busy family rooms, hallways, kids' bedrooms, and basement bonus rooms.
AC ratings - the only spec that matters
The AC (Abrasion Class) rating tells you how the wear layer holds up. We won't install anything below AC4 in the Greater Alpharetta Area homes.
- AC3 - light residential only (bedrooms, low-traffic spaces); not recommended
- AC4 - heavy residential and light commercial; our default for most homes
- AC5 - heavy commercial; ideal for entryways, hallways, and rental properties
- AC6 - intense commercial use; available on special order
- Water-resistant cores (HDF or SPC-hybrid) - required for kitchens and bathrooms
Special Financing Available*
*Subject to credit approval. Minimum monthly payments required. See design consultant for details.
Learn moreHow we install laminate that doesn't squeak or peak
Laminate is a floating floor - if you don't prep the subfloor flat and leave proper expansion gaps, it telegraphs every flaw and peaks at the seams. Our certified crew laser-levels every floor before install, uses 3-in-1 underlayment with vapor barrier on concrete, and leaves the proper 1/4" perimeter gap concealed by baseboard or quarter-round.
Every laminate install includes acclimation (48 hours on-site before installation), end-joint staggering for strength, and color-matched transitions to adjacent rooms. Need stairs to match? See our laminate stairs page.

Laminate Flooring - frequently asked questions
No - laminate has a wood-fiber (HDF) core and a printed/laminated wear layer; vinyl plank has a plastic core and is fully waterproof. Laminate is harder underfoot but more sensitive to standing water.
Modern water-resistant laminate (AquaGuard, Hydroseal, etc.) handles kitchen spills fine. We don't recommend standard laminate near sinks or dishwashers - our in-house consultants can steer you toward LVP instead if that's a concern.
AC4 laminate typically lasts 15-20 years in residential use; AC5 commercial-grade can last 25+ years. The wear layer doesn't sand or refinish - when it wears, you replace it. Backed by our labor warranty either way.
Yes - every quote includes demo and disposal of the existing floor. Concrete slab and plywood subfloor prep are inspected during the in-home estimate.
