Construction of Laminate

ThermoComposite™ Construction

ThermoComposite™ laminate construction fuses five distinct components together in one single step to create an extremely durable floor of the highest quality. The process is a true art that requires years of experience; it is not just science.

Laminate Plank Construction

1. Melamine Wearsurface with Aluminum Oxide

Second only to diamonds in hardness, aluminum oxide provides unsurpassed wear and stain resistance. Backed by a 25-Year Residential Wear and Stain Warranty. Exclusive to Mannington Laminate floors is a durable stain and soil repellant that keeps your floors looking new longer and helps make clean-up a snap.

2. Design Surface

Advanced technology locks color deep inside the image fiber layer to create vivid patterns and hues. Backed by a 25-Year Residential Fade Resistant Warranty.

3. MLock®

Unique profile system, available on many of our products, offers outstanding strength and easy, glueless installation. A proprietary sealant using a high tech application process gives the product excellent moisture resistance.

4. High Density Fiberboard

A super strong, high-density board made from recycled wood chip material that withstands indentations, even from the heaviest piano.

5. I-Beam Backing®

A melamine-impregnated I-Beam Backing® balances the construction and controls warping.

6. AquaEdges™

Tongue and groove surfaces are impregnated with a moisture sealant to protect against moisture penetration between the planks.
