Why homeowners choose laminate

• A high-definition wood look with a tough, scratch-resistant surface.
• A budget-friendly alternative to hardwood that stands up to everyday traffic.
• Many newer products offer added water resistance (check each product's rating).
• Click-together installation over most flat, prepared subfloors.
• Easy to keep clean with no refinishing needed.

Care tips

• Dust-mop or vacuum regularly. Grit is the enemy of any hard surface.
• Clean with a laminate cleaner or a lightly damp (never wet) microfiber mop.
• Don't steam-clean, and don't let water stand on seams unless the product is rated for it.
• Use felt pads under furniture and mats at exterior doors.
• Lift furniture instead of dragging it.
