About Laminate Flooring
Laminate construction consists of four layers: a protective wear layer, decorative image layer, high-density fiberboard core, and stabilizing backing. The aluminum oxide wear layer resists scratches, stains, and fading far better than most hardwood finishes. AC ratings measure durability—AC3 suits residential use, while AC4 and AC5 handle commercial traffic.
Water resistance has improved dramatically. While traditional laminate couldn't handle moisture, newer products feature water-resistant cores and sealed edges that manage spills for extended periods. Installation is straightforward with click-lock systems that float over existing subfloors—accommodating the expansion and contraction common in Metro Vancouver homes where indoor humidity varies seasonally.
JAB Floors carries laminate from Kronotex, TORLYS, Beaulieu Canada, and PERGO. Visit our showroom to see premium embossed-in-register products where texture matches the printed grain, with professional installation available throughout the region.
