			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Wilsonart Laminate Flooring&#8217;s Tap-N-Lock innovation has locked in the loyalty of an impressive segment of the working parents market. The low maintenance level required by this flooring product makes it ideal for a busy household ruled by kids and pets. A Wilsonart laminate flooring installation comes with a long list of quality home remodeling qualifications. Let&#8217;s take a closer look at five of these:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">1. Wilsonart Laminate Flooring Tops With Tap-N-Lock Installation</p>
<p><span id="more-161"></span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">In an innovative move away from the hinged installation methods of many other flooring manufacturers, Wilsonart Floor&#8217;s Tap-N-Lock technology allows for a less complicated, time-saving flat installation. No glue is necessary during general installation. Areas around doors and kick-plates of cabinets are easily navigated with a pull bar. A hammer and a tapping block is used to gently ease the flat tongue and groove planks together to form a tight, smooth joint. Don&#8217;t use too much elbow grease, or you will have problems with chipping. Wilsonart Laminate Flooring requires a gentle touch. This is not the time or place to show off your muscle power!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">2. Wilsonart Red Label Hand Scraped Collection Invites Nature Into Your Home</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The days of smooth, plastic-looking, unrealistic laminate finishes are long gone. Wilsonart Laminate Flooring has developed into a copycat creator extraordinaire. Their innovative Red Label Hand Scraped range brings the texture and tints of real wood to life in an unmistakable way. The casual, slightly worn appearance is rich in natural variation and random patterning. Five woods have been selected for the Red Label Hand Scraped Wilsonart Laminate Flooring look.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You can almost imagine the weathering process Olde Oak Wilson Laminate Flooring has been through. Subtle cathedrals add realistic appeal. If you love reddish tinted woods, you will fall head over heels in love with the rustic Hickory Plank line. The dramatic tan and red hues are softened with white to cream sapwood and fine brown lines. All the characteristic burls and streaks are visible in a Wilsonart Laminate Floor.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Alternatively opt for richly textured Spanish Maple with its interesting &#8216;line drawings&#8217;. You will never tire of looking at this version of Wilsonart Laminate Flooring. For a true old-world look, choose Aged Timberwood. An open-pore structure richly textured with knots takes you back to yesteryear and happy childhood memories. Add stylish elegance with Burnished Maple with beautiful golden tones, creating a warm atmosphere.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">3. High Pressure Lives Deserve Wilsonart Laminate Flooring</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Choose durability during your home remodeling efforts by opting for high pressure Wilsonart Laminate Flooring. Whereas direct pressure flooring undergoes 300 to 500 pounds of pressure per square inch, the high pressure versions are made using a massive 1400 pounds of pressure per square inch. The benefits of opting for a higher pressure flooring product are noticeable. More pressure means triple the toughness. You will see improved wear resistance, meaning that scuffing and scratching will be minimized. The static load capacity increases, lessening dimpling. With high pressure Wilsonart Laminate Flooring you will notice higher impact resistance, which is very important in a home where there is a high level of activity. The sheen factor is upped in the process, giving you a clear, realistic looking design. You can also be sure that there will be far fewer factory damaged planks per package. Lastly, chipped corners will not be such a headache.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">4. Wilsonart Laminate Flooring Accessories</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">No laminate floor installation will have a professional finish without quality accessories and moldings. Wilsonart Laminate Flooring has this aspect down to a fine art, due to more than 50 years in the industry. The decorative moldings tone in with the coloring of the flooring.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The classy T-Moldings will give you a smooth transition between rooms, finishing doorways in style. Where you go from laminate flooring to thick ceramic tiles or carpeting, use a Carpet Reducer. These also come in handy at exterior doorways. On stairs you will utilize the Step Down Stairnose. An elegant Wilsonart Laminate Flooring Wall Base molding can be used as a wall border, or to cover unsightly toe kicks at the base of cabinets.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">5. Maintaining The Gleaming Face Of Your Wilsonart Laminate Flooring</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Busy moms fall in love with Wilsonart because of the low maintenance level. Gone are the days of costly carpet replacements after a staining spill, or yelling at the kids because of a mess on the floor. Cleaning up is so simple with Wilsonart Laminate Flooring. It is robust enough to literally repel dirt. A range of easy to use products ensures the right treatment for any kind of flooring fiasco.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">General cleaning is done with a mop and a bucket of water with a dash of Wilsonart Flooring Cleaner. Wilsonart Flooring Spray Cleaner takes cares of specific spots that need tender loving care. If the kids have gone on a creative spree with colorful crayons, you don&#8217;t have to worry. Mineral spirits, denatured alcohol or acetone takes care of this in a jiffy. Candle wax can simply be scraped off gently with the blunt edge of a blade. Just make sure that you always follow the manufacturer&#8217;s maintenance instructions to the letter. You don&#8217;t want to do anything that can void your Wilsonart Laminate Flooring warranty.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Once you have Wilsonart Flooring in place, you may also want to investigate the possibility of a kitchen make-over with Wilsonart HD Laminate Counter Tops. The high definition HD Wilsonart Counter Tops have taken the domestic world by storm with its quality and creative designs. These solid surface products are accompanied by the solid backup of this reputable company.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, join the home improvement do it yourself brigade by forging a friendship with Wilsonart Laminate Flooring.</p>
