Wood looks,
floating value.

A multi-layer floor — a photographic applique top under a clear protective wear layer that resists scratches and moisture. Interlocking planks "float" over the subfloor with no adhesive, often right over an existing surface. Wood-grain embossed and hypoallergenic.

Field note · how it's made

Laminate is a multi-layer floor: a photographic applique layer carries the wood-grain look, and a clear protective wear layer sits on top to resist scratches and moisture.

Because the planks interlock and float, they go down with no glue — often right over an existing hard surface — for a fast, clean install.

General notes
01How long does laminate flooring last?
Generally, laminate flooring can last between 15 to 25 years, depending on its quality and the amount of traffic it receives.
02Does laminate need glue to install?
No. Laminate uses interlocking planks that "float" over the subfloor without adhesive, often right over an existing hard surface.
03Is laminate cheaper than hardwood or stone?
Yes. Laminate is a cost-effective way to get a wood or stone look for far less than solid hardwood or natural stone.
04How do I clean laminate flooring?
Sweep or vacuum regularly and clean with an occasional damp (not wet) mop. Avoid excess water and harsh chemicals.
05Is laminate a good choice for allergies?
Yes. Laminate is hypoallergenic — its hard, sealed surface doesn't trap dust, pollen, or pet dander the way carpet can.
