Wood-look flooring from Empire: the look of hardwood without the maintenance needs

When it comes to adding warmth and character to your home, it’s hard to beat real hardwood flooring. Unfortunately, real wood floors may often not be the best choice for your intended application. Whether it’s because you’ve got active kids and pets constantly running through the home, or part of your living space is below grade and encounters moisture, sometimes wood floors just aren’t a good idea. Thankfully, Empire has a vast selection of wood-look tile, vinyl, and laminate that will give you the aesthetic you’re after, but in non-wood materials that can stand up to the rigors of a hectic household.

Wood-look flooring from Empire is available in three main categories: laminate, vinyl, and tile. Each of these products offers the visuals of a wood floor with the durability and easy maintenance of more resilient materials. While wood-look flooring may sound like a compromise, you’ll be giving up very little by choosing one of these alternative floor products.

Vinyl, laminate, or tile floors that look and feel just like real wood

Thanks to advanced printing technologies used by today’s flooring manufacturers, many wood-look flooring products are visually indistinguishable from the real thing. Even upon close inspection, the photorealistic surface of these wood-look tiles, laminate, or luxury vinyl planks will be hard to distinguish from the real thing. You can shop a wide variety of colors, grain patterns, and even find specific wood species look-alikes. And it doesn’t stop just with the visuals. Many wood-look floor products feature textured surfaces which are mapped to the surface image. Run your fingers along the grain of these flooring products and you’ll swear it was hewn from a piece of solid lumber.

Wood-look floors are the best way to get the look of wood without many of its associated maintenance needs. Look for wood-look flooring products that are scratch-resistant, fade-resistant, and even waterproof. Consult a flooring professional from Empire to learn more and find out which features are available in any of the particular wood-look floor products in our catalog.
