• Wear layer – The clear, protective wear layer is highly resistant to damage from pets, furniture, foot traffic, stains and fading
• Design layer – A high resolution, extremely detailed photographic image that authentically captures the realism of the material the laminate floor is designed to look like
• Inner core – High-density core that keeps the laminate board stable, flat and resistant to changes in moisture and temperature.
• Backing – A moisture barrier backing that protects the floor from warping

Laminate boards are ideally suited for a “floating floor” method of installation. Instead of using glue, nails or staples, laminate boards have a unique tongue-and-groove profile that connects boards by simply locking edges into place. Once complete, the entire floor “floats” above the subfloor, expanding and contracting with the natural temperature and humidity changes in the home.

The versatility of laminate also allows it to be installed directly over various existing floors, including wood, concrete, ceramic tile, vinyl and even carpet. Never worry about tearing up old flooring or dealing with the mess of repairing a damaged subfloor. As long as your subfloor is structurally sound, dry, clean, and flat, laminate has you covered.
