TheCornerstoneLaminates vs. Luxury Vinyl Planks & Tile
(LVP & LVT) with Water Proof Core (WPC)When laminates hit the scene in the late 1990’s even I was impressed. Finally,
a tough as rocks floor that was high-heel proof, gouge & tear proof, high scratch resistance, and affordable to install. The best part, it almost looked like wood or
ceramic tile. But darn, if the cat or dog spilled its water bowl, or forbid you used too much water to wash the floor. You soon noticed
seam swelling on the board edges and you had a visual problem forever!
Why don’t the laminate manufacturers just make a laminate with a WPC? Because the high-pressure
technology has not yet been developed for attaching laminate melamine layers to a WPC. So, in slips some real
game changers, LVP & LVT with the WPC. Adura Max, COREtec Plus, Forte’ Pro are a few brands that you’ll see at
CBL Floors. These are not laminates but vinyl floating floors that have a waterproof core with sound barriers attached. No more worries about the spills that happen in every kitchen. The colors and enhanced surface textures are as unique and rich as real wood and tile. Their durability, scratch resistance, and dent resistance is excellent.
If you are looking for the most beautiful and best solid surface flooring options for above grade or below grade in any room of your home, LVP or LVT with WPC is your best option in 2017.
Hardwood Basics, Construction : Solid vs. engineeredSolid wood is referring to a ¾” thick piece of solid wood. It can be factory finished (limited colors) or on site finished (custom colors). The wood is generally stapled to a plywood subfloor. High humidity and drastic temperature changes will result in the solid wood expanding and contracting according to the moisture percentage in the air. In Minnesota, we have all the factors that affect solid wood. Cupping, gapping, swelling can be expected if a houses’ indoor environment is not maintained with an air conditioner and a humidifier to the required moisture levels during Minnesota’s 4 seasons.
Engineered wood consists of a combination of various layers of different wood species bonded together with a veneer of a wood species bonded to the top layer. Different wood species absorb moisture at different
rates. The bonded layers are cross hatched so the effect moisture has on wood is minimized. This
is ideal for Minnesota. Engineered woods can therefore be floated below grade in Minnesota
basements, and any room of the house regardless of underlayment type. The finish
is applied at the factory and is furniture grade with a choice of different gloss levels. Although engineered woods cannot be completely re-colored like solid
wood, they can be refinished 2–3 times. An air conditioner and humidifier is also required in a home or the manufacturers warranty will be void.

I am happy to announce that I am back at CBL Floors! While my time with Farmers Insurance was enjoyable, some staff changes at CBL Floors led me back to the family business. Reconnecting with returning customers and flooring reps has been great. CBL Floors is still going strong after 38 ½ years! We have been blessed and very fortunate to have served so many amazing customers over the years. Thank you for your confidence and continued support. As the fall season is upon us, it is time to start nestling back inside and
thinking about the holidays that are right around the corner. Is it time to paint and update your flooring? Creating an oasis with colors that remind you of glorious waters, the beach, and meadows is always an inviting way to welcome you home after a long day of work. Adding accent walls, rugs, pillows, and art are also an excellent way to add a pop of color to any room. Contact me at the store if you need any help with a project, I’m back and ready to assist you.
