Regular laminate vs water-resistant laminate
Regular laminate
Regular laminate flooring is made of layers of decorative paper that are glued together and covered with a clear protective layer. This type of laminate is susceptible to water damage and is not recommended for areas where there is a high risk of exposure to water or moisture.
Water-resistant laminate
Water-resistant laminate, on the other hand, is designed to be more durable and resistant to water damage. It is often made with a moisture-resistant core layer or a special coating that helps to repel water. This type of laminate is a better option for areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, or other rooms where there is a high risk of water exposure.
- Starting with the backing layer, it provides stability and moisture resistance.
- The core layer is made of high-density fiberboard that provides strength and durability.
- The design layer features a high-resolution replica of wood, stone, abstract designs, and more.
- The aluminum oxide top layer protects against scratches, stains, and fading. With its innovative design and construction, laminate flooring is the smart choice for any space in your home.

Finishes
The finish of laminate flooring is a crucial aspect that enhances its realism and authenticity. The natural wood grain or stone-look finish gives the product a touch of realism, making it indistinguishable from the real thing. There are different types of finishes available, each with its unique touch of style and realism.
Embossed
This process gives the surface of the panel a textured look.
Lightly Embossed - Extreme Mat
The light embossing and matte finish provide a soft, understated appearance while reducing light reflection to conceal scratches or imperfections, all complemented by a delicate texture.
Registered Embossed
This technology matches the texture with the underlying decorative pattern, resulting in a stunning level of realism.

Stair nose

Installation methods
Laminate flooring is renowned for its durability, which is a result of its unique installation method. The Glueless Locking System allows for easy and efficient installation, as the planks simply lock together when the tongue of one plank clicks into the groove of another. This makes laminate flooring easy to uninstall and reinstall multiple times throughout its lifespan.
Maintenance
In addition to its durability, laminate flooring is also stain-resistant and easy to clean. Regular sweeping, vacuuming, or dust mopping is all that is needed to maintain its appearance.
Warranty
For added peace of mind, Beaulieu Canada offers comprehensive warranties on their laminate flooring products. Be sure to read the warranty carefully to understand what actions you need to take as a homeowner to be eligible for full coverage.
