Black Laminate Flooring – An Ideal Concept?

Does laminate flooring come in black? There are few truly black options, but a striking one is Elesgo SuperGloss Laminate Flooring which comes in Black and Black Pearl. The only caveat is that it should not be installed in high traffic areas. This video by a satisfied customer features the Elesgo Black SuperGloss:

Other approximations to black are black slate and ebony plank laminate flooring. Don’t be deceived by black cherry, black ash or black walnut laminates; they are typically quite far way in color from black, although you can purchase a very dark black walnut if you would be satisfied with a near-black wood.

The Mohawk Georgetown Series is available in an ebony plank color. These embossed laminate flooring planks with an aluminum oxide finish and AC4 rating are 8 mm thick and measure 6.14″ wide by 54.33″ long. This flooring is suitable for both residential and commercial use and has a retail price of $7.27 per square foot, but you can find lower prices online from discount merchants.

Bruce Reserve Laminate Flooring comes in seven colors including Black Forest, which is very dark but not black.

This flooring sells for $3.97 per square foot.
