The vast majority of these laminate floors are either Made in the USA or Europe. Laminate flooring is an ideal choice for busy households with kids and pets, providing both aesthetics and durability. The wear layer protects the flooring from scratches, stains, and fading caused by sunlight exposure. It is more resistant to dents and impacts compared to hardwood flooring.
Compared to natural materials like hardwood or stone, laminate flooring is generally more affordable. It offers a cost-effective alternative that can mimic the appearance of expensive materials.
NALFA certified laminate floors are a sustainable flooring option for eco-conscious homeowners. The flooring is manufactured through a lamination process, using materials that are bonded together. The photographic layer in the laminate flooring is created with high-definition photography, which saves the natural resources that would have been used in hardwood flooring. These floors also comply with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) sections 93120-93120.12, title 17, of the California Code of Regulations.
Plus, according to The North American Laminate Flooring Association (NALFA). "Laminate flooring is inherently eco-friendly. It’s made with natural resources, it’s recyclable, and it’s free of air-damaging chemicals"
Additionally, laminate floors are considered hypoallergenic because they do not trap dust, pet dander, or allergens as easily as carpet. They provide a smooth and easy-to-clean surface that can help maintain better indoor air quality for those with allergies or sensitivities.
Similar to the evolution of the phone in your pocket, the appearance of laminate flooring has undergone significant transformation over the years. Technological advancements in high definition digital printing and advanced texturing techniques that follow the relief and grain of wood patterns have led to the creation of exceptional high-end laminate floors.
Mohawk's Signature Technology is a prime example of this innovation. It utilizes scanning, cataloging, and preservation techniques to capture natural wood designs while maintaining extraordinary details and varieties of each wood species. The incorporation of 64 layers of design data and 1,000 colors in every square inch of each plank results in a wood floor that is nearly indistinguishable from natural hardwood.
These superior Signature Technology floors are available in Mohawk RevWood Premier and Pergo Elements Ultra. Trust us, you will not be disappointed with the exceptional quality of these products.
UNICLIC was the first floor with a click system that was milled directly in the core material of the flooring planks. Since 1996, the Patented UNICLIC locking system has proven itself as arguably the easiest, least problematic and most trusted way to put together flooring without nails or glue. The Uniclic locking system enables you to engage the flooring panels via two methods - angling and snapping. This fact makes Uniclic one of the easiest locking mechanisms for do-it-yourself flooring installations. It's our favorite and the majority of the flooring on our website features UNICLIC.
