Sophisticated Laminate

Today's laminate so closely resembles hardwood, you'll have trouble spotting the difference.

A tribute to modern manufacturing, laminate flooring continues to make innovative breakthroughs. It now conveys the authentic look of wood or ceramic tile. A variety of shades and finishes allows you to choose the wood look down to the species and now, laminates are mimicking hardwood even more.

Shaw's Touchable Texture laminates offer beveled, distressed, and highly textured options to give your laminate floor the look and feel of true hardwood, wood grain and all. Use texture to add a distinguishing touch to your home or choose a distressed look to provide affordable beauty.

Laminate Layers

Laminate is constructed in layers to create lasting, affordable, beautiful floors.

Four layers of material, each with its own purpose, are fused together to create laminate flooring that is durable and will last for years to come.

Layer 1: A melamine backing layer provides a moisture barrier and structural integrity.

Layer 2: EnviroCore™ - Shaw's environmentally friendly coreboard - is the dense inner layer made of recycled wood fiber meaning fewer trees used with less waste.

Layer 3: Beneath the top layer is the decor layer featuring natural hardwood designs.

Layer 4: A melamine wear top layer offers a tough, beautiful finish.
