LAMINATE
With todays click systems, installing laminate has become a snap. Laminate can be installed over most non-textile existing floors. In this "floating floor" method of installation, laminate is laid over the existing floor without being glued to the surface.
Laminate flooring offers a variety of styles including wood, stone and marble with extensive warranty protection against stains, fading, and moisture damage. It's tough external layer and resin coating makes laminate durable, scratch-resistant and long-lasting. The end result is an easy to clean product that offers the look of natural products without the limitations.
Since laminate is manufactured using paper, it does not involve the harvesting of old-growth hardwoods as does wood flooring. And when a laminate floor needs replacing, it can be disposed of with no danger to the environment.
