Audacity Flooring: Laminate Install + Review & Photos

Author name


Project Location: Portland, OR 97230
Materials Used: Audacity Flooring – Asheville Laminate


Project Overview

For this Portland project, we installed laminate flooring, known for its durability, stunning wood-like appearance, and impressive water resistance. The client wanted a flooring solution that could handle the demands of an active household with kids and pets, so we recommended Audacity for its combination of strength, aesthetic appeal, and low maintenance.


Why Audacity Flooring?

Audacity laminate flooring offers an ideal balance of beauty and resilience. Designed with a highly stable high-density core, each board is protected by a multi-layer sealant expertly applied along the edges, creating a moisture-resistant barrier. Audacity’s unique click-lock system with enhanced contact points ensures a snug, waterproof seal, minimizing water infiltration.


This flooring is perfect for families and high-traffic areas as it provides:


  • Enhanced Water Resistance: A sealant along the edges and tight click-lock installation prevent water from seeping through, ensuring durability in bathrooms, kitchens, and entryways.
  • Scratch & Impact Resistance: The high-density core and reinforced top layer make Audacity highly resistant to scratches and dents, keeping it looking new even with active kids and pets.
  • Stain Protection: Audacity’s surface resists stains, so accidental spills and messes clean up easily, reducing worry over everyday mishaps.


The Audacity Difference

Unlike traditional waterproof options like luxury vinyl plank (LVP) or wood plastic composite (WPC), which can be prone to scratches, Audacity’s laminate flooring offers exceptional scratch and stain resistance while maintaining its waterproof qualities. Its authentic wood visuals and texture make it an appealing choice for homeowners looking for a natural look with the strength to withstand daily wear and tear.


The Installation Process

For this project, our team:


  1. Prepared the Subfloor: Ensured a level, clean base to optimize the floating installation of the Audacity laminate.
  2. Installed with Precision: Using the enhanced click-lock system, each plank was meticulously locked in place to create a smooth, seamless surface.
  3. Final Touches: Trimmed and finished edges for a polished, professional look.


The final result was a durable, water-resistant, and visually stunning floor that not only elevated the space but also provided peace of mind for the client’s active family. Want to see another one? We recently installed Audacity Laminate flooring in this condo.
