How Laminate Flooring Is Built
Backing layer
First comes the backing layer, which mainly adds balance and helps to seal away moisture. This layer is often a built-in underlayment substitute. It's also known as the stabilizing layer.
Core board
Next comes the bulk of the laminate. This is some sort of high-density material known as the core board that gives the plank its strength and stability.
Decorative layer
Then, there's the photographic image decorative layer, which incorporates a high-quality image of hardwood or tile.
Wear layer
Finally comes a top wear layer that protects against scratching, UV damage, and staining.

Trust us with your laminate installation!
Laminate flooring is easy to install due to its unique locking edges. It then "floats" above the subfloor, expanding and contracting with any climate changes in your home. Because of this, it can be installed over any other type of flooring. However, we still recommend trusting professionals with your laminate installation. Read on to learn more.
Preparing for installation
Since laminate is so easy to install and can be installed over any other type of flooring, you don't have to worry about ripping out your old flooring and disposing of it if you don't want to. You will need to make sure your subfloor is sound, dry, clean, and flat, however, and your laminate installation will also require an underlayment. The underlayment protects against moisture while insulating your flooring, making it sound and feel more like genuine hardwood.
During and after installation
A member of your household who is at least 18 or older should be available to greet the installation crew and show them to the work area. For everyone's safety, keep children and pets away from the work area until the job is done. Feel free to ask your lead installer any questions you might have about the finished product. You may also be instructed to stay off of your flooring for a set amount of time to allow any stain or varnish to properly cure. If this is the case, our team will inform you.
Care & maintenance
Once your laminate flooring is installed, it's up to you to keep it looking and performing its best. To do that, you'll need to establish a regular care and maintenance routine that includes sweeping, vacuuming, and proper stain removal.
Laminate Care & Maintenance
Keep your laminate floors looking clean and performing their best with simple, everyday care. From regular cleaning to handling spills, a few easy steps can help maintain durability, appearance, and long-lasting performance.
Everyday care
Keep your laminate floors clean by vacuuming or dry mopping regularly. Use approved products and place doormats at entry points to reduce dirt and everyday wear.
Handle spills
Wipe spills immediately with a soft cloth, as most laminate is not fully waterproof. Quick action helps prevent damage and keeps your flooring looking its best.
Deep clean
Use manufacturer-approved cleaners for occasional deep cleaning. Proper care helps maintain appearance, protects the surface, and extends the life of your laminate flooring.
