Laminate floors come in planks and can be installed as a glue-down or floating floor, depending on the specific product. Manufactured as a composite material, laminate flooring is very durable and comes in a wide array of styles, making it a favorite choice among interior designers. Laminate flooring simulates the appearance of real wood, tile, or stone. Some of the most expensive treatments in hardwood, like hand-scraped wood or distressed barnwood, become very affordable alternatives in a laminate floor.
Carpet Weaver’s offers some of the industry’s best laminate flooring brands, including Mohawk RevWood laminate flooring – combining the beauty of hardwood with the toughness of laminate! Click on a laminate brand logo below to see more products:

Mannington Laminate Flooring
One of the notable features of the Mannington Restoration Collection is the SpillShield™ waterproof technology. This technology provides enhanced water resistance, making this laminate flooring more durable and suitable for areas prone to moisture, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. It helps protect against spills, splashes, and pet accidents, making cleanup easier.
The Restoration Collection laminate flooring is engineered to resist scratches, dents, and wear caused by daily foot traffic. The protective top layer helps guard against damage, keeping the flooring looking newer for longer.
Mannington is committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility. The Restoration Collection laminate flooring is made using sustainable manufacturing practices and materials. It is also FloorScore® certified, which means it meets strict indoor air quality standards and contributes to a healthier indoor environment. Best of all, the entire line of Mannington Restoration Collection is made in the USA.
What is Laminate Flooring Made Of?
While every manufacturer has their own proprietary composition of laminate flooring, it typically consists of four layers:
- Wear Layer: The top layer is a transparent wear layer that protects the flooring from stains, scratches, and fading. It is made of a melamine resin or aluminum oxide, providing excellent durability.
- Design Layer: This layer features a high-resolution photographic image that mimics the appearance of natural materials like wood, stone, or tile. The image is printed onto a decorative paper layer.
- Core Layer: The core layer is made of a high-density fiberboard (HDF) or medium-density fiberboard (MDF), providing stability and strength to the flooring.
- Backing Layer: The bottom layer provides stability and moisture resistance. It is usually made of melamine or resin.
