It combines the warm look of traditional plank flooring with the durability of the plastic laminate that homeowners have relied on for so long as countertop material. In fact, the com- bination of a moisture-resistant, wood- based core, a wear-resistant surface, and a backing laminate put together under high pressure provides a wood floor surface that is 20 times stronger than the laminate used for the typical kitchen countertop. This durable, stain- and wear- resistant, low-maintenance high pressure flooring is eminently suitable for such high-traffic areas as kitchens, foyers, and family rooms. Its tongue-and-groove de- sign also makes it easy to install as a float- ing floor system over foam that requires no nails and can be laid over most exist- ing level floors. A series of edge moldings provides a coordinated, finished look that is as beautiful as it is durable, At SHELTON FLOOR COVERING we believe decorating should be fun, exciting, even educational. We work with our clients to show them differ- ent styles, remove the confusion, and create an enjoyable process in which they can save money while designing an environment that reflects their per- sonal identity and individual tastes.
