Laminate Floors

Laminated wood flooring is available in 3- and 5-ply. It is a wood flooring product that consists of layers of wood pressed together, with the grains running in different directions.

Laminated wood flooring is perfect for those areas of the house where solid wood flooring may not be suitable, such as basements, kitchens, powder rooms, and utility rooms. Because the grains run in different directions, it is more dimensionally stable than solid wood. This means that it will expand and contract less than solid wood during fluctuations in humidity and temperature.

Many different species and colors of laminated wood flooring are available on the market, and adding borders, medallions or corner treatments is a terrific option with laminates as well as solid products. Most laminated wood flooring products are finished at the factory, and several finish options are available.

Acrylic Impregnated

Acrylic impregnation is a process where acrylics are injected into the wood itself, creating a super-hard, extremely durable floor. Acrylic impregnated flooring is available in solid parquet and laminated strip and plank.

Acrylic impregnated floors are often used in commercial installations, like shopping malls, restaurants, etc., however, they are right at home in busy households, as well. Acrylic impregnated floors are very durable, and serve very well in areas of high traffic and heavy activity. Some acrylic impregnated floors are finished with an ultraviolet cured urethane, while others do not have a top coat.

A wide variety of colors and styles are available in acrylic impregnated, often lending a very modern touch to a traditional product.
