Laminate flooring originated in Europe where they have been used in homes for many years.
Laminate floors are made up of three basic layers, including a surface layer with a printed design, a core and backing. It's a highly durable choice that can be installed over nearly any kind of subflooring. The warrany generally covers wear, staining and fading.
Todays laminate flooring has a more durable finish to help protect your floor from scratching and chipping. The finished layers of pre-finished hardwood floors are far superior to any finish that can be applied during the construction of your new home, or the remodel of your existing home. Factory applied finish coats are more resistant to abrasion, and will not show swirl marks, hairs, dust, and other imperfections often associated with unfinished hardwood flooring.
Benefits of laminate flooring:
- Easy to clean surface.
- Stain resistance.
- Fade resistance.
- Exceptional durability.
- Can be installed over many different types of subfloors, including concrete.

Many homeowners prefer the warmth that laminate flooring adds to a home and, as a flooring option, laminate flooring adds to the value.
