You've always wanted a gorgeous natural wood floor in your dining
room or a classic limestone floor in your kitchen but are hesitant
about the care and cost. We have a solution for you: our laminate
flooring from quality manufacturers like Mannington, Quick Step,
Wilsonart, Mohawk, Armstrong, and Shaw. Whether creating great style
for your first home or for renovating an older one, laminates open
a new world of options for you.
Your life is busy and your time is valuable. That's why our incredibly
durable laminate floors are created using layering technology with
a tough, factory-applied outer coating that resists stains and spills.
It's easy to clean. And
with new advances in texturing, laminates finish your room with
the fresh, expressive look you're after at a fraction of the cost.
As handsome as planks of natural wood but without the upkeep and
as solid as tiles of limestone but with a softer step, laminates
have become a designer's tool and a homeowner's dream. They can
even be installed over most existing floors.
How
to Buy Laminate
WHY CHOOSE LAMINATE?
• Exceptionally durable
• Easy to clean and maintain
• Superior stain resistance
• Can be installed on all grade
levels, even below grade
Laminates offer highly appealing, natural looking surfaces with
great damage resistance and affordability. Laminates may be crafted
to look like wood or stone. Some laminates are so realistic that
they are easily mistaken for a natural surface floor.

| Laminates are composed of multiple
layers. The central layer, the core layer, includes a rigid
material such as resin-infused fiber board, over which is placed
a photographic image of a natural surface, such as wood.
The surface of the laminate, the wear layer, is aluminum oxide,
which increases hardness and durability. While no flooring surface
is unscratchable, the wear layer with aluminum oxide is very
resistant to scratching and denting. |
|
The final layer is the backing layer, which is included to prevent
cupping and bowing, and to provide moisture resistance and dimensional
stability.
