Laminate flooring has a hard and compact surface layer that dirt and dust won’t easily stick to. All it takes to keep the floor clean is to vacuum or sweep the floor with a Mop. Occasionally use a damp Pergo cloth with a mild detergent. For floors with a matt finish, we recommend more regular cleaning using all round floor cleaner on the entire floor as dirt can stick more easily. Never wet mop a floor with beveled edges as moisture can accumulate in the joints. Instead, use a slightly damp and carefully wrung out mop, making sure to wipe dry any water left in the joints.

Minor damage can easily be repaired with repair putty. The repaired area blends in with, and is just as durable as the rest of the floor.
Laminate flooring consists of several layers of materials fused together through a lamination process. The inner core is usually made from a fiberboard with very high density called HDF (High Density Fiberboard). The decor consists of a printed paper that imitates the appearance of wood, stone or other materials. But even plainly colored or patterned laminate floors are common. The top surface is reinforced with a wear layer of aluminum oxide, which is one of nature's hardest materials.
Laminate flooring is constructed in such a way as to provide high resistance against scratches, pressure, impact, dirt, sunlight and heat. In addition to the HDF core and the wear layer of aluminum oxide, our flooring is made with a variety of patented layers that help to create the world's most durable laminate flooring.
No. The hard laminate surface prevents paint from adhering to the floor.
When you are going to lay your new laminate flooring, you don't need to be a professional floor layer or own a multitude of tools.
Island counters and heavy stone worktops typically prevent the floor from being able to move freely as the floor shrinks and expands. Therefore, always be sure to make a cut out around the legs of the counter or island, leaving enough expansion space. This also enables easier removal or replacement of the floor if ever needed.
