Laminate
Laminated wood flooring is perfect for those areas of the house where solid wood
flooring may not be suitable, such as basements, kitchens, powder rooms, and utility rooms. Because the grains run
in different directions, it is more dimensionally stable than solid wood. this means that it will expand and
contract less than solid wood during fluctuations in humidity and temperature.
Many different species and colors of laminated wood flooring are available on the
market, and adding borders, medallions or corner treatments is a terrific option with laminates as well as solid
products. Most laminated wood flooring products are finished at the factory, and several finish options are
available.

and bottom of the board, creating the perfect product which is stable no bowing or collapsing in the
center.
