HomeFeatured PostMarket Pulse: Retailers tout top-performing laminates

The resurgence that began to take hold in the U.S. laminate flooring category just a few short years ago is picking up steam as floor covering retailers, distributors and Main Street project managers seek top performing laminates that deliver both durability and style. That momentum shows no signs of slowing as the category continues to gain interest across the market.

Following are some of the top-performing laminates that piqued the interest of buyers in 2025:
