for more information. 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 tiles. Besides the great
textures and designs, laminate flooring offers improved durability,
easier maintenance and affordability compared to other types of hard
surfaces 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
high-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.
Specially engineered with layered construction, laminate flooring can
be installed almost anywhere in the home, including over dry concrete
slabs, wooden subfloors and many types of existing floor coverings. The
low clearance space height means laminates are particularly suited for
renovation and restoring old houses where floor thicknesses can be a
problem.
Mohawk Laminate Flooring offers a wide selection of rich
colors and designs in several different grades, including laminates with
pre-attached underlayments to help deaden sound and keep the floor
warmer and "embossed-in-register" designs in which the surface texture
exactly matches the image texture for highly realistic look and feel of
real hardwood, tile and stones styles.
