While capturing all the beauty and elegance of hardwoods, laminate flooring
is both durable and easy to maintain. Its machine made construction will not
stain, warp or buckle and the Aluminum Oxide coated surface gives it a high
degree of scratch resistance that is perfectly suited to heavy foot traffic.

Unlike hardwood, laminate floors have water resistant cores and wax
impregnated edges making them resistant to topical water spills, and allowing
for installation in kitchens and bathrooms.

The allure of laminate flooring lies not only in its representation of real
hardwood and its incredible durability, but also in the ease with which these
floors are installed and maintained. The introduction of glueless laminates has
revolutionized flooring, opening the door to the DIY market and weekend
enthusiast. No prior experience, specialized knowledge or tools are required.

Simply place on the floor, cut the odd piece, click, and your floors are
ready to be walked on. The work is time consuming and hard on the knees, but
with savings of up to 40% of total job cost, it just might be worth the
hardship.

Laminate flooring is highly stain resistant and requires very little routine
care and maintenance, freeing up your time to relax by the pool. Simply sweep
the floor daily with a soft bristled brush and damp mop as required. As a
precautionary measure, place foot mats at external doorways, thus preventing the
tracking in of dirt, and furniture pads under the feet of furniture in order to
prevent scuffing and scratching.

Laminate flooring is available in a plethora of styles and designs. Each wood
species displays its own unique characteristics, each lending itself to a
different design aspect. Choose the grainy appearance of Oak to add charm to any
rustic interior, or utilize the grain-less consistent landscape of Maple to
bring continuity to modern décor. Remember to use light colors to visually
expand a room, while adding dark color for a more intimate feel.
