Due to its resin coating, it is much stronger, scratch resistant and is longer lasting than any hardwood, vinyl or carpet flooring. It is the only flooring choice that can be used on every level of your home. Easy of installation and greening of the manufacturing process put it on equal footing for a flooring choice.

Care
For general maintenance a laminate approved cleaner and mop like the Sent floor kit (S54502949) is the best to meet the needs of a laminate floor. The key is to keep the dirt and sand off the floor which causes abrasion on the top layer of any floor. So vacuum, dust mop and clean with a damp cloth or mop.
