Decorative. Durable. Affordable. Offering the beautiful, true look of real wood, tile or stone at an often substantially lower cost, easy care laminates have emerged as one of today's hottest and most versatile flooring options.
Laminate flooring is actually a four-layer sandwich constructed of a protective wear layer over a decorative sheet containing the pattern, which is supported by a rigid core and a bottom balancing layer to help prevent warping. The result is one tough flooring that resists fading, stains, scratches and moisture. In fact, laminates frequently outlast real hardwood, tile or stone floors.
Simple and easy to maintain, laminates are an excellent choice for high traffic areas like hallways and family rooms, plus moisture areas such as kitchens and baths.
Recommendations
As a more versatile, durable and affordable alternative to virtually any other flooring material except carpet, laminate flooring continues to grow in popularity. In fact, there's hardly any room in the house where it's not a smart choice.
In formal rooms such as dining rooms and living rooms, laminate duplicates the look of more expensive natural flooring materials at a fraction of the cost, while also offering more resistance to scratches and stains.
Laminate also brings the look of hardwood to rooms where the natural material couldn't be used due to moisture concerns. However, because laminate offers better moisture and stain resistance than many natural materials and at a lower cost, it creates exciting, new decorative possibilities.
With its exceptional durability, Laminate is also excellent for use in virtually any high traffic areas. It's also suitable for below grade installation in basements.
