We installed the first ever laminate floor in the UK on 21 March 1984 – click here to see the photo!
Simply stated, laminate flooring is a multi-layered wood based floating floor system that replicate the appearance of hardwood, stone, ceramic tile and other more expensive flooring options. It is available in strips, planks, and squares, and has specific features that make it easy to install and practical to maintain.
Improvements in manufacturing technology and in the various components of laminate flooring have created a modern, practical and versatile flooring product that is capturing a significant share of the flooring market.
Laminate Maintenance
Normal cleaning can be taken care of with vacuuming.
A simple damp mopping is a good idea on an occasional basis.
But don’t use soap, wax or polish since they will leave a film behind, making the floor look greasy period.
Stains can be wiped away easily with a soft cloth and Laminate Cleaner or de-naturated alcohol. Do not, however, scrub with steel wool or any other coarse material.
As an added precaution, use felt pads under furniture legs, and pads or plastic wheels under chair legs.
