Laminate flooring has become a popular
choice for many homeowners due to its
ability to closely emulate today's most
popular hard surfaces, especially hardwood
planks and ceramic or stone tiles. Besides
the great textures and designs, laminate
flooring offers improved durability, easier
maintenance and affordability compared to
other types of hard surface floors. These
floors are extremely resistant to wear,
stains and sunlight fading. The beautifully
rich textured finishes make these floors a
great alternative for most areas in the
home.
Having arrived from Europe over a decade
ago, laminate flooring was inspired by
countertop materials, only it's at least 20
times stronger. With a direct pressure
laminate surface it is virtually impossible
for spills and scuffs to leave a mark. The
clear surface layer protects the pattern
underneath and is highly resistant to
cigarette burns and scratches from pets.
Maintenance is quick and easy using a damp
cloth or vacuum and most household cleaning
chemicals will not harm a laminate floor.
The surface is hygienic and is excellent for
people suffering from allergies.
