Laminate flooring usage has grown in the United States due to the increased level of durability and the low
level of maintenance.   Laminate floors have been engineered with layered construction and a high-pressure
suface, making it scuff, scratch and burn-resistant.   Maintenance involves only a vacuum and a damp cloth.  
Being a non-porous surface it is also hypo-allergenic.  Laminate can be installed almost anywhere in the home
including dry concrete slabs and wooden subfloors.  It has a low clearance which makes ideal for use in
remodeling older homes where floor thicknesses can be an issue.

Due to the advancements in technology, laminates can be made to look like real wood, stone, and ceramic
tile.   They are also extremely resistant to wear, stains or fading.   With so many choices, we're certain we can
find just what you're looking for.

Laminate floors are very easy to care for.  Sweep or vacuum regularly, being sure to use the hardsurface
attachment of your vacuum.  The beater bar or power brush on vacuums can scratch the laminate finish.  All
you need for spot cleaning is the manufacturer-recommended laminate cleaner and a clean mop or soft cloth.  
Just a spritz of cleaner and a quick wipe with the cloth has your floor shining again!  When using a dust mop,
be sure it is clean and free of any polishes or cleaners.  Dust mop the floor as you would any other but be
sure to thoroughly shake out the mop after each use.  When damp mopping you should use a cotton or cloth
mop and clear, warm water.  For heavy cleaning you can use a solution of 1 cup household white vinegar to 1
gallon of warm water or 1/2 cup household ammonia to 1 gallon of warm water.  Make sure the mop is only
slightly damp to avoid leaving water marks behind.  We DO NOT recommend sponge mops as they cause
streaking.  Remember, DO NOT use soap or detergent based, wax based or abrasive cleaners.  Soaps and
waxes leave a filmy residue and abrasive cleaners can scratch the laminate finish of your floor.  Keep in mind
that you may want to use felt floor protectors on your furniture to prevent scratching.
