LAMINATE
The Look
It’s a natural look for your home and for the way you
want to live. More pleasures and fewer chores. Laminate is available
in all the
natural looks you love, each one as beautiful as the real thing.
The Strength
Laminate floors are extremely durable and wear resistant. Easy installation,
quick and simple cleaning. Laminate is sold in planks that are glued
or snapped together and can be layed over most other existing floors
(excluding carpet). Laminate is one of the only floors that can be installed
over ceramic tile. Each board is constructed with a core of high density
fiber board which is very moisture resistant. As with most hard surface
flooring, laminate floors can scratch so floor protectors are recommended.
The Feel
Very soft and kind to your feet.
The Clean up
Laminate flooring is very easy to clean and maintain. Simply
wipe away dirt with a moist cloth. No wax is needed. Just sweep, dust
or swift
for general cleaning. Do not use the swifters that leave a waxy film,
use the swifters that clean with static electricity. You may damp mop
a laminate floor just don’t put a lot of water on the floor. You
must squeeze out as much water as possible before you apply the mop to
the floor. Too much water can cause buckling along the seams. Every floor
is non-allergenic and does not absorb odors. Most all stains will lift
out of a laminate floor including permanent marker.
