Supreme Click - Laminate Flooring 101


Our Supreme Click Laminate is one of the most popular products in hard surface floors. It is extremely durable, easy to maintain, and can withstand the traffic and wear of a busy household.

Care and Maintenance


Its quick and simple upkeep is a key benefit of our Supreme Click Laminate. As with any flooring product, it is important to know proper cleaning practices.


Do:
  • Use cleaning products recommended by the manufacturer
  • Keep the floor free of dirt and moisture
  • Use a dry mop, vacuum, broom or damp cloth to clean
  • Use alcohol or acetone to treat tough stains or stuck objects
  • Use gentle scraping for stuck objects like tar, gum or wax
  • Carry heavy furniture across it
  • Place doormats by entryways to reduce tracked-in dirt and moisture
  • Use felt pads under any furniture that will sit on the laminate floor.
Don't:
  • Saturate the surface with water
  • Use soap, abrasive detergents or scouring pads like steel wool
  • Wax, polish, sand or resurface it
  • Use a vacuum with a beater brush
  • Drag heavy furniture across it
  • Use nylon pads on the feet of your furniture; it will react negatively with the aluminum oxide in the surface layer.

Q: How soon after installation can I walk on my new Supreme Click Laminate floor?
A: Supreme Click Laminate is ready for use immediately after installation, but it is very important to acclimate it before installation.

If this is not done, the planks may warp or pull apart after installation.
