Products: Laminate
Laminate is a type of flooring that is synthetic in nature. It is made to look like wood or tile. Each laminate board consists of four components that are bonded together. A resin-filled wear layer is applied on its surface. This makes the material extremely difficult to stain, scratch, and burn.
Laminate not only comes in wood-grain finishes, but also in stone and tile designs. The look is upscale, without the high-end costs. What makes laminate so popular is that it is inexpensive and easy to install. It is perfect for a do-it-yourself weekend project.
There is no glue required to attach the pieces to your laminate floor. A tongue and groove interlocking system keeps each plank attached to one another and takes out the need for nailing as well.
You can install laminate on top of plywood, concrete, sheet vinyl, or any flat hard surface.
Easy Tips on Caring and Cleaning your Laminate Floors
- Do not expose laminate to puddles of water. Wipe immediately
- Vacuum or dust mop regulary. (At least once per week per household member)
- Use damp cloth to wipe spills and let dry
- Use floor mats outside doors to keep dirt from coming in
- Use glide protectors under chairs, couches, and tables to prevent scratching
- Do not use brooms to clean the floors since they drag grit against the floor
