Elite Collection Laminate

Made in Germany
Quality is important to us. Our laminates are designed and produced at a state-of-the-art factory in Germany that prides itself in creating beautiful, durable floors. Our products are subjected to constant quality control testing to ensure that we are consistently delivering high quality, long-lasting and safe products to our consumers.

Attached Foam Backer
The laminates in this collection all come with a 2 mm pre-attached foam backer, saving you time and money during the installation process. This backer will help smooth minor subfloor imperfections, will act as an extra sound barrier and will cushion the planks, making the laminate more comfortable to walk on.

Speedloc™ Installation
The Speedloc™ installation system makes these laminates extremely easy to install, with or without previous installation experience. Simply push the flexible plastic tongue on the short side of the plank into the groove of another plank. Tools such as tapping blocks and pull bars that are necessary to install traditional laminates are no longer needed.

Moisture Resistant
The Elite Collection laminates have tight fitting joints and acrylic lacquered bevel edges. These features combined provide added moisture protection compared to traditional laminates. If you are looking for a waterproof laminate, we recommend you explore the new Spill Defense Collection.

AC4 Traffic Rating
Our laminates have received an AC4 rating, which means they are suitable for heavy residential traffic and light commercial traffic. The Abrasion Class Rating has become the standard rating system for laminate floors. To receive a rating, laminates must undergo a variety of tests to measure their resistance to staining, scratching, moisture, heat and impact. These tests will determine how well the laminate floor can withstand daily wear and tear.

Low VOCs:

• GREENGUARD Gold Certified: Our laminates are GREENGUARD Gold certified. This means they are compliant with stringent emission levels for over 360 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs). Because our products adhere to strict emissions standards, they promote healthier indoor air quality and are suitable for all environments, including schools and healthcare facilities.
• TSCA Title VI Compliant: The Elite Collection laminates are TSCA Title VI compliant, which means that the formaldehyde content is much lower than the permissible limit designated by the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
• CARB Phase 2 Compliant: Our laminates all have a CARB Phase 2 label, which indicates that they meet the stringent emission standards for formaldehyde emissions that the California Air Resources Board (CARB) has put in place for composite wood products.

Responsibly Sourced from Certified Forests
The wood chips that are used to make the High Density Fiberboard (HDF) used in these laminate products has been responsibly sourced from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) certified forests. These forests are responsibly managed to ensure that all practices are sustainable and environmentally friendly.

Lifetime Residential & 10-Year Light Commercial Warranty
Built to last, the Elite Collection laminates come with a limited lifetime residential warranty and a 10-year light commercial warranty. For more details, please refer to the warranty section for this category.
