Explore the Cypress Grove Collection

Some rooms can be rough on your flooring. Spills, humidity and daily wear are all obstacles that traditional laminate flooring was never built for. Cypress Grove has no problem with it.

Here are the benefits of choosing this collection:

  • Waterproof core that stands up to moisture, not just resists it
  • Scratch-resistant, AC4-rated durability for everyday life
  • The warmth and character of real wood without the maintenance

Some materials claim they can do everything. The truth is they don't. Laminate isn't hardwood or vinyl. It falls into its own category. The difference with the Cypress Grove laminate flooring collection is its 36-hour water-resistant core paired with a real-wood look so a small spill won't ruin your floor.

Benefits of Waterproof Laminate Flooring

Over the years, laminate flooring has come a long way from its thin, moisture-sensitive product it used to be. Modern waterproof laminate flooring such as our Cypress Grove collection will last in ways that traditional laminate never would.

Water and Moisture Resistance

Cypress Grove features a 36-hour water-resistant core and wax-impregnated edges so spills, humidity and daily moisture won't spell disaster for your floor. That makes it ideal for kitchens, laundry rooms and humid climates compared to its traditional counterparts.

Scratch and Wear Resistance

Boasting an AC4 rating, Cypress Grove is made for real, high-traffic homes. Install it in hallways, living rooms and anywhere else life happens.

The Look of Real Wood

Laminate floors have a high-detail image layer and texture embossing that make them difficult to tell apart from real hardwood. It provides a similar look and feel without the cost and upkeep.

Fast, Clean Installation

Laminate installs as a floating floor. This means planks lock together over the subfloor without glue, nails or staples. That leads to less mess and a faster path to a finished room.

Low Maintenance

It doesn't take much to keep waterproof laminate flooring looking its best. Regular sweeping and prompt spill cleanup is all it takes. There's no refinishing required.

What to Look for in a Laminate Floor

With laminate flooring, there's so much to choose from. Between styles, looks and finishes, here's what matters when it's time to compare your options.

Plank Style

There are many laminate wood designs. These can range from long traditional planks to wide planks. Finishes vary between hand-scraped textures and polished, oil-style looks.

AC Rating

Laminate is measured on an AC (Abrasion Class) scale that starts at AC1 (light residential use) and goes up to AC5 (heavy commercial use). Most homes are good with an AC3 or AC4 rating for daily use. Cypress Grove is rated AC4.

Waterproof Cores

Traditional laminate tends to be sensitive to excess moisture so it wasn't a good fit for kitchens or bathrooms. Waterproof laminate flooring flips that on its head. A water-resistant core lets these floors hold up in moisture-prone rooms better than traditional laminate could.

Built Different From The Core Out

How Waterproof Laminate Flooring Gets Installed

Laminate flooring is usually "floated" over the subfloor instead of glued, nailed or stapled down. Planks lock together with no visible seams, leaving a small gap around the room's perimeter to allow for natural expansion.

Underlayment is just as important. It absorbs sound, helps the floating floor stay in place and adds a layer of moisture protection. Some laminate products come with underlayment pre-attached and others require it as a separate step. Your dealer or installer will walk you through what's right for your space.
