Laminate tile flooring offers the beauty and aesthetics of hardwood flooring, but at a much lower cost. Unlike soft woods, laminate tile flooring is highly scratch-resistant and resists fading from sunlight. Laminate tile flooring floats on top of the existing floor. This means that the laminate tile flooring is not attached or adhered to the foundation, but rather floats on top, meaning no gluing, stapling, or nailing is necessary. Because laminate tile flooring is not a real tile, it can be used in areas that are often exposed to moisture such as bathrooms or kitchens for a rich look throughout the home.

Laminate tile flooring makes an ideal flooring product if you have an existing floor such as vinyl or ceramic tile, and you do not want to go to the trouble of ripping it up.
