With 2016 well under way, we checked in with retailers to see how laminate is fairing thus far. This year, laminate sales make up 8% of Enhance Floors & More’s business in Marietta, Ga. An uptick from 2015, where laminate brought the operation 7% of its sales, co-owner Elisabeth Stubbs partly credits the increase to Enhance Floors’ showroom displays.
“Have laminate installed in your showroom,” she said. “Most people that are opposed to laminate are standing on it and think it is real wood.”
