Laminates
European Quality and Innovation.
A big hit in American homes.
Laminates have become a top choice for families
that desire an attractive, affordable floor that will stand up to
high-use and is easy to keep clean. Brought from Europe in 1996,
laminates have exploded in popularity in the U.S. Match any decor,
formal, traditional, contemporary or country, with PCC's wide selection
of laminates from Pergo and Wilsonart Tile and Plank. Colors and
patterns include hardwood, parquet, ceramic tile and more. These
floors will give your home warmth and charm.
People with active lifestyles appreciate
the superior scratch resistance, durability and ease of care laminates
provide as compared to real wood floors. They also offer better
wearablity than ordinary vinyl. Most laminate flooring manufacturers
offer a 15- to 25-year warranty that covers staining, fading, and
damage to the print layer. Some also carry a Water Damage Warranty
that protects your floor in the case of flooding or an accident—particularly
advantageous in bathrooms or kitchens.
Laminate floors are a combination of special
resins, paper layers, fiber core, and a print film that are all
fused together into a solid mass. Due to its construction and components,
laminate flooring will not stain, fade from sunlight, scratch and
the finish is extremely impact resistant. Their precision tongue
and groove design allows for tight securing of the planks or tiles.
