Q. What is WilsonartŪ Flooring?
A. Wilsonart Flooring represents an entire family of engineered flooring
products. These product lines include Estate Plus, ClassicTM,
DuoLinkŪ and our newest Red Label collection.
Q. What are the differences between Classic, Estate, DuoLink and Red
Label product lines?
A. Each product line has its own unique set of aesthetic, construction
and performance characteristics. Deciding which particular Wilsonart Flooring
product line is best for your home will depend on a variety of factors,
including where the floor is being installed, your lifestyle and expectations.
Q. What makes Wilsonart Flooring unique or better than other laminate
flooring brands?
A. The main difference between Wilsonart Flooring products and other laminate
flooring brands is QUALITY. We offer superior products at every price
point, so you can rest assured your new floor will look fabulous for years
to come. We also offer one of the widest selections of the designs available
in laminate flooring today.
Q. What are the benefits of Wilsonart Flooring?
A. Great looks that stay great looking for years and years, low maintenance
and easy installation. The last point is important even if you are not
installing the floor yourself: Wilsonart Flooring can be installed directly
over almost any existing hard surface flooring material. It requires far
less subfloor preparation than vinyl, ceramic or natural wood which helps
reduce installation time, labor and cost.
Q. Where can Wilsonart Flooring be installed?
A. Pretty much wherever you want to install it. We do advise caution in
areas where the floor may be subjected to large amounts of water and do
not recommend installing Wilsonart Flooring in rooms with floor drains.
Q. What are the differences between high pressure laminate, direct
pressure laminate and continuous multi-layer laminate?
A. The main difference is the pressure under which the laminate is manufactured.
High pressure laminates are typically manufactured using 1400 pounds-per-square
inch of pressure while direct pressure products are manufactured using
300-500 pounds-per-square inch of pressure. The advantages of high pressure
laminate include better wear and impact resistance as well as better design
clarity.
Continuous multi-layer laminate contains Kraft papers like HPL, but is
not manufactured at the same temperatures and pressures as HPL. It is
produced on a continuous press and is more impact resistant than direct
pressure laminate (DPL) because of the Kraft papers, but lacks the resin
flow which provides superior clarify of design in HPL.
Q. What are the advantages of Tap-N-Lock glueless installation technology?
A. Now available in all Wilsonart Flooring products, Tap-N-Lock is an
exclusive installation system that offers fast, versatile installation
every time. Installers and homeowners alike are attracted to Tap-N-Lock's
direct benefits -- there's no need to apply glue, nor are there cleanup
or residue issues to deal with after the fact.
