For families whose floors need to stand up to kids and pets, laminate flooring can be a wise choice. Most designs have a wood-grain appearance, although some are made to look like stone or marble. Laminates are designed to look good for many years with minimum maintenance.
Laminate flooring consists of these main components that are bonded together:
![]() |
Clear cap sheet of aluminum oxide for protection and stain resistance. |
![]() |
Wear-resistant decorative surface, made of resin-based melamine aluminum oxide and extremely resistant to stains, scratches, and other wear. |
![]() |
Moisture-resistant wood composition-based core. |
![]() |
Balancing backing. |
| Ease of installation. |
| A tongue-and-groove interlocking system can be installed on top of almost any existing substrate. |
| Quick to install. |
| You can walk on your new floor immediately (no waiting for glue to dry), so installation can truly be a weekend project. |
| Worry-free care. |
| Simply vacuum or dust mop regularly to remove loose dirt and grit. Use glides or cushioned bottom protectors under chairs and table legs help prevent possible scratching. |
