Judging quality?

You can do it!!!! I know you can!

Balta (From Belgium) Once a year there is a huge flooring trade show in Las Vegas called "Surfaces". This is where all of the manufacturers of laminate flooring in the world meet. This year I spent most of my time at the Balta booth. These are the things that impressed me.

First,they spent several million dollars perfecting their own new locking system. It is so easy that a child could install it. It uses the new isometric double locking mechanism (similar to the new Kronoswiss) that locks easier and tighter than the other systems I have seen.
The second thing that caught my eye in the Balta booth was their new "Authentic Vision" textured laminates. These have more texture on their surface than any laminate product I have seen to date. They just plain look like real wood floors. Wow……and most of them were full plank! Some even come in a "V-Groove beveled edge pattern!
Third, the last thing is a full water damage warrantee. If you experience water damage on any of Balta's upper end product they will provide replacement boards at no cost to you. I bought 3 of their lines. The heavy V-Groove, the heavily textured full planks, and some of their less expensive floors with the new locking system.

Check out my competition? Most of them don't offer any warrantee when their products are used in a commercial application. Both Kronoswiss and Balta have warrantee stations in the US. I have factory warrantee cards that you fill out and send in to register you purchase directly with the manufacturer. If you have any problems you can rest assured that I will handle it personally.

THE SURFACE WEAR LAYER OF LAMINATE
(the top of the floor that you walk on, spill on, and live on.)

This is very important. Many of my competitors (Home Depot, Lowes, Carpet Stores) sell Pergo Presto, Shaw Perpetual, and Armstrong Swiftlock. All of these have one thing in commonn is they all have little or no texture on their surfaces……..and when you see them in larger areas their flat plastic look screams “I'm not real” (like kmart furniture). Why?? If you check the wear ratings of the surfaces of each of these you will find that they some contain from 60% less than the laminate flooring I sell on my website. That’s Right…We offer a 60% heavier wear layer than many manufactures offer. Wear layer is often overlooked by the average consumer, even though it is the very thing that causes laminate to stay new looking for many years. Heavier wear layers also make a laminate look more realistic. You see if you have more wear layer on the surface you are able to create a nice smooth, rolling texture, that is easier to clean and looks and feels like real wood. We offer a laminate floor that looks like natural wood and will wear much longer due to its superior wear layer.

Get Free Samples
This you have to see to believe. Want free samples? You can order them for free from my website or you can call and speak personally to myself, Tom (my daughter), or Dottie my personal office manager. I send all samples by priority mail at my expense. The whole package includes samples, informational video, and underlay pad samples costs me about $12. There is no cost to you.

How can I do this for free? I have found that if you are honest with your customer and put your money where your mouth is they always reward me for my efforts. All I ask is that you give me a fair chance. Feel the texture difference of my laminate compared to others you see. Check out the new locking system and how tough and easy it is. Compare the realism of my samples vs. my competitors. Compare the price of the products you see with mine. Here are some other tests you can perform. Go ahead! Take your samples and put them through the torture test. Pour straight bleach on them. Even though they are heavily textured to look like real wood nothing will stick in the textured areas. Take some grease, spray on some Pam, rub in ketchup, mustard, anything you like. Take a warm, damp paper towel and wipe the mess off the laminate. You will see……..nothing sticks no matter how sticky or gooey.

Next lock 2 pieces together and pour water directly over the seams. Let it set on the laminate for a couple of hours. Wipe off the water from the top and disassemble the pieces. Since the laminate has a waterproofing agent sprayed on the edges at the factory I bet you there is no water got through the seam. Light a match or cigarette. Lay the burning material directly on the surface of my laminate sample. Let it burn for 2 or 3 minutes. Take fingernail polish remover and a towel and all of the black material will simply wipe off the surface. No visible damage from a burning object can permanently damage this product. I have had 2 dogs and 2 cats that live in my home full time for the last 8 years without scratching or damaging the laminate flooring. These are fantastic new cutting edge products. I hand picked them. Nothing else I have seen comes close at any price.

I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!

Again, what do these new products have that others do not?
1) New isometric locking system
2) Ease of installation
3) New Heavier, Lifelike textures that look and feel like real wood!!!!
4) New patterns…Full planks and sectioned plank

MORE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW...

Underlay Pads       
Although our 8.3mm Kronoswiss product has the sprayed on sound deadening material attached to the back we recommend using one of the 2 premium pads under it to eliminate the majority of noise created when walking over laminate flooring. You get a "Double Pad" effect when doing so. If you use the product without additional pad it will still reduce the noise by 50% from a product containing no pad.

Quietwalk Designed to draw sound into the felt based pad and deaden it, not reflect it. Quietwalks filaments are randomly air laid creating a capillary affect to cushion the floor, absorb sound, and help laminate floors sound like real wood. Quietwalk can wick water and disperse it throughout the pad until it can evaporate or escape through the subfloor. It contains a built in vapor barrier to protect laminate from harmful moisture. Quietwalk can absorb over 5 times it's own weight in water without swelling or deterioration while the vapor barrier keeps water away from your floor. Quietwalk works great over both wood and concrete subfloors. Sound Solution Laminate Underlayment This is a superior grade 100% Urethane Pad. It draws sound in helping laminate floors sound more like real hardwood. It has one of the highest impact insulation class ratings of 58-60 db. It is guaranteed to prevent damage to laminate floors caused by hydrostatic moisture rise. Water cannot go through this pad. No additional moisture barrier required over concrete or wood subfloors. Made from all new materials…….no recycled waste. Has a built in anti-microbal ultrafresh which prevents the growth of mold, mildew and fungus. Greatly increases insulation over cold floors. Our Heavyweight Pads are 16 lbs per 100 sq ft. vs. 1 lb per 100 sq ft of the foam pads.
