What
is Laminate Flooring Made of?
Laminate flooring is actually a four-layer
sandwich constructed of a protective wear
layer over a decorative sheet containing
the pattern, which is supported by a rigid
core and a bottom balancing layer to help
prevent warping. The result is one tough
flooring that resists fading, stains, scratches
and moisture. In fact, laminates frequently
outlast real hardwood, tile or stone floors.
Laminate
Maintenance
Dust mop or sweep once a week. Avoid
using soap-based detergent when cleaning
a spill, and never use harsh chemical cleaners
on your floor; these cleaners may cloud or
discolor the floor’s finish. Also,
never use steel wool or scouring pads
on your laminate floors. If a soiled area
remains particularly stubborn, simply repeat
the sponging process until the spot is gone.
