Simply stated, the final effect can be superior. Look for precision manufacturing of tight
joints and very long, matched pieces, often
unavailable or prohibitively expensive in hardwood. These laminate planks create a seamless
and uninterrupted look of refinement.
Laminate flooring is an easy-to-install,
interlocking, tongue-and-groove flooring system of planks or squares. When entertaining
friends and family this summer season, you
won’t have to worry about your floor fading,
being scratched or dented. That’s because laminate delivers up to five times more scratch resistance because of the wear layer that features
aluminum oxide (nearly as hard as diamonds).
This layer provides unsurpassed durability,
stain and fade resistance, and easy maintenance. Laminates are also antibacterial, antimold, antistatic, and sound insulating—boasting warrantees extending upward to 30 years!
Laminate proves to not only be durable,
but is also easier to maintain. Talk to your
flooring retailer about the floor care products
they recommend for cleaning and maintaining
your new laminate floor. ■
