By Sarah Freeland

Buying wide plank laminate flooring is the same as buying a narrow plank. The only difference will be price. The first thing that you will need to look for when shopping for wide plank flooring is the wood grain and finish that you want. It is a good idea to order samples of several different finishes to see which one will compliment your home the best. If you don't know if a certain wide plank laminate floor product will look good in your home look at the sample floor in a flooring showroom. This should give you some idea of what it will look like in your home. If you are shopping online you can look for photographs of the product when it is assembled. Samples can also be ordered online or from a showroom for about $1 to $5 per sample. This fee usually covers the shipping cost.
