Our Selections Bring you Beauty From the World Over
Imagine adding the character of Distressed Heart Pine, an
Antique Barn Oak, or the elegance of slate, stone or
travertine to your home. With our latest proprietary
process, NatureForm Optix™, we've combined the beauty of
nature with the latest advances in printing, texturing and
finishing, creating unparalleled realism and the most
realistic laminate flooring ever.
Natural beauty.
We used our expertise at making hardwood floors to create
laminates in the wood styles and tones people prefer most.
We even went a step further by pioneering a proprietary
process of printing, texturing and finishing that captures
original source materials like natural stone and wood with
exceptional crispness and depth of color, found in both our
Revolutions™ Tile and Plank collections.
Unbeatable durability.
Typical high-pressure laminate floors use glue to hold the
plastic laminate to the core - glue that can sometimes come
unstuck. But our ThermoComposite™ technology lets us replace
the glue with thermal-set plastic resins that are forced
through three surface layers and deep into the fibers of our
EcoCore®. No peeling here! This EcoCore®, made from recycled
wood materials, is a super-strong, high-density fiberboard
that withstands denting-even from the heaviest piano.
Wear and stain resistance.
Our melamine surface gets its incredible durability from
aluminum oxide. Second only to diamonds in hardness,
aluminum oxide provides unsurpassed wear and stain
resistance. Many of our patterns also feature Teflon®
Surface Protector, a built-in finish that improves your
floor's resistance to every-day wear-n-tear and helps make
clean-up a snap.
Little maintenance.
No floor comes closer to true maintenance-free performance.
Ordinary vacuuming or sweeping is usually all it takes, with
occasional wiping with Mannington Award Series® Cleaner.
Oops-proof performance.
Spills happen, but laminate floors take them in stride.
Juice, wine, grease, and chocolate are easily wiped away.
Cigarette burns, asphalt, shoe polish, paint, ink, crayon,
and nail polish come clean with alcohol or nail polish
remover. Candle wax and chewing gum can be gently scraped
away.
Easy installation.
Our laminate flooring is designed to be laid as a "floating
floor" above your existing floor (except carpeting, of
course) without nails or glue. The only glue ever used is
between the planks in the joints, which fit tightly together
with a precise tongue and groove design. Mannington Hush™,
AquaBarrier™ and ComfortBarrier® underlayments are very easy
to install and keep out moisture rising from the subfloor,
provide padding for walking comfort, add heat insulation,
and dampen noise. And, we offer a complete package of trims
and moldings manufactured to match and enhance the
appearance of your floor.
