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 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.
