TrafficMaster vs Other Budget Laminate
The cheapest TrafficMaster planks match the cheapest laminate at Floor & Decor: our budget tier runs $0.99 to $1.39 per sq ft (FairOaks and Hampstead, 7mm, AC3, no pad). Above that, the step to a 10 to 12mm plank with an attached pad (from $1.89) removes the separate underlayment line and adds thickness.

Common Questions
How much is TrafficMaster laminate per square foot?
$0.99 to $1.49 per sq ft for the five TrafficMaster laminates we read on homedepot.com on 14 October 2026, none on sale. The $0.99 planks are 7mm with no water protection; the dearer Silverton Oak (8mm) and Tully River Oak are sold as water resistant.
How much does it cost to install TrafficMaster laminate?
About $3.39 to $5.04 per sq ft installed: the planks plus 10% waste, underlayment (TrafficMaster lists it as required and sold separately) and Home Depot's published $2.00 to $3.00 labour. A 12x12 room comes to $488 to $726.
Does TrafficMaster laminate need underlayment?
Yes. Each TrafficMaster product page we opened lists 'Underlayment Required - Sold Separately', so budget for foam, or foam with a vapour barrier over concrete.
Is TrafficMaster good laminate?
It is entry-level: 7 to 8mm planks rated AC3 for heavy residential traffic on the pages we opened, with warranties from 15 years to limited lifetime residential depending on the product. For kitchens or entries, the water-resistant lines or a thicker plank with an attached pad are the safer choice.
