ARMSTRONG LAMINATES Laminate flooring is a multi-layered product developed to perform as a highly durable, easy-to-clean-floor. A laminate floor provides the realistic look of wood, tile, stone and other more expensive options, but often at a lower cost. These high-tech floors are durable and possess an ease of maintenance that can't be found in natural wood, tile or stone. Sizes Choose from three different forms of laminate: strips, planks, or squares. Almost any wood, tile, or stone look is available and unusual or "ultra-dramatic" looks are easy to achieve. For example, exotic woods like teak, bamboo, and apple wood. In their natural forms, these materials are typically out of most homeowners' budget range, but with laminate they become more manageable. Flexibility Mixing and matching laminate styles is a great way to achieve a look that's all your own. Unlike wood, laminate floors can't be refinished down the road, should your tastes change. However, laminate floors of the "locking" variety (i.e., installed without glue) can be easily removed and replaced. Durability Laminate floors are extremely durable. The wear layer, combined with the strength of the core, make laminate highly resistant to scratches, dents and dings, as well as to moisture and stains. Although not waterproof, laminate floors are more resistant to water damage than traditional wood floors. Most manufacturers guarantee the surface will not fade or wear through. Maintenance & Care Cleanup is quick, easy and minimal. The high-tech surface of a laminate floor is designed to be cleaned by vacuuming and occasional damp mopping. Spills wipe up with a damp cloth. Installation: Do-It-Yourself -- Or Not? Laminate floors can be installed professionally. However, depending on the complexity of the job, and how handy a homeowner you are, you may be able to install it yourself. There are two types of laminate floor installation systems available: standard glue and locking laminate. The standard glue system is the traditional method. It requires glue and clamps to hold the boards in place. This system is best suited for the more sophisticated do-it-yourselfer or professional installer. Newer locking laminates are easier and faster to install than standard glue systems. There's no waiting for the glue to dry, and furniture can be moved back onto the floor immediately after installation. Armstrong's ArmaLockTM Installation System is especially easy because it has a uniquely designed profile that automatically aligns the boards and locks them together for a precision fit.

MANNINGTON LAMINATES Advantages of Laminate Flooring Our Selections Bring you Beauty From the World Over Imagine adding the character of Distressed Heart Pine, Antique Barn Oak, Knotty Heart Pine or Historic American Chestnut to your home, or perhaps enjoying the romance of Brazilian Cherry or Australian Cypress. What's more, we've created the most realistic laminate floors ever with our textured NatureForm™ patterns. Natural beauty. We used our expertise at making hardwood floors to create laminates in the wood styles and tones people prefer most. We even went a step further by pioneering an embossing process that gives highly realistic three-dimensional texture in our Laminate NatureForm™ Plank and Tile Collections. We also faithfully reproduced rare and extinct woods as part of our Historic laminates, such as distressed Heart Pine, Antique Barn Oak, and Historic American Chestnut. And with our NatureForm™ Laminate Collection, the real texture of wood and stone tile is brought to laminate. Unbeatable durability. Typical high-pressure laminate floors use glue to hold the plastic laminate to the core — glue that can sometimes come unstuck. But our ThermoComposite™ technology lets us replace the glue with thermal-set plastic resins that are forced through three surface layers and deep into the fibers of our EcoCore™. No peeling here! This EcoCore™, made from recycled wood materials, is a super-strong, high-density fiberboard that withstands denting-even from the heaviest piano. Wear and stain resistance. Our melamine surface gets its incredible durability from aluminum oxide. Second only to diamonds in hardness, aluminum oxide provides unsurpassed wear and stain resistance. Hand-rubbed appearance. A low-luster, wood grain-textured surface gives our laminates the best and longest-lasting appearance. Advanced technology locks the color deep inside for vivid patterns and hues. Little maintenance.No floor comes closer to true maintenance-free performance. Ordinary vacuuming or sweeping is usually all it takes, with occasional wiping with Mannington Award Series® Cleaner. Oops-proof performance. Spills happen, but laminate floors take them in stride. Juice, wine, grease, and chocolate are easily wiped away. Cigarette burns, asphalt, shoe polish, paint, ink, crayon, and nail polish come clean with alcohol or nail polish remover. Candle wax and chewing gum can be gently scraped away. Easy installation. Our laminate floors are designed to be laid as a "floating floor" above your existing floor (except carpeting, of course) without nails or glue. The only glue ever used is between the planks in the joints, which fit tightly together with a precise tongue and groove design. Mannington Hush™, AquaBarrier™ and ComfortBarrier™ underlayments are very easy to install and keep out moisture rising from the subfloor, provide padding for walking comfort, add heat insulation, and dampen noise.
