What is Laminate Flooring?
What is Laminate Flooring? Originally, laminate flooring was invented as an inexpensive substitute to real wood floors. Since then, technology has made the laminate floor far superior to wood in every aspect. Aside from being less expensive, laminate floors can look like any type of wood…or marble…or anything else you like…while being more resilient to wear and tear, far easier and quicker to install – and being the “greener” choice by far. The laminate floor has four layers: a wear layer, a design layer, an inner core layer and a backing layer. The Wear layer – is a clear top layer that protects the floor from stains and fading The Design layer – is photographic image of wood, stone, brick or ceramic which gives the floor it’s look. The Inner core – is plastic resin that keeps the laminate stable and flat. The Backing – creates a moisture barrier that protects the floor from warping This layered construction, perfected over decades of ever-developing technologies, makes laminate floors remarkably durable.

EASY CARE STEPS FOR YOUR REPUBLIC LAMINATE FLOORS
Republic Flooring laminate floors are designed and manufecurered to be naturally “low maintenance” and retain their beauty for decades. Keeping them looking a new as the day they were installed is easy with these easy steps: Place a natural or colorfast mat at outside entrances to collect tracked-in dirt and absorb excess moisture. For added indentation resistance, use felt floor protectors on chairs and other furniture. As a general rule of thumb, the heavier the item, the wider the floor protector should be. Routine Laminate Floor Care and Maintenance DO: Sweep or vacuum using the wand attachment, then follow with recommended floor care products. For spills, just wipe up with a cloth or sponge. Allow time for floor to dry after washing. Immediately wipe up wet areas from spills, foreign substances,
or wet feet.
DON’T:
Do not use soap-based detergents or "mop and shine" products, as these may leave a dull film on your laminate floor. Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or scouring powder, which can scratch your floor. And, in very sandy areas or at the beach, sweep or vacuum regularly. Do not wax or polish your floor. You may purchase floor care products and floor protectors at your local flooring retailer. Spring Cleaning Use a well-squeezed damp mop with any quality Hardwood & Laminate Floor Cleaner. A light damp mop is all you need!
