Next Floor Brookside Laminate Flooring

This is Next Floor's waterproof laminate in a wider 8.03" x 47.64" plank (204 mm x 1210 mm), 12 mm thick. The surface is embossed in register, so the texture follows the printed grain, and a four-sided, colour-enhanced bevel outlines each board. Its AC4 abrasion class is rated for commercial traffic, which means kids, dogs and busy hallways are well within what it is built for.

Installation is angle-tap click floating: boards lock together over the subfloor with no glue, and it can go on, above or below grade. Because it is sold as waterproof, it is a sensible pick for basements, kitchens and mudrooms. Each carton holds 6 pieces and covers 15.94 sq ft, and the warranty is listed as lifetime residential.

Choose from eight colours: Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Echo, Granby, Keystone, Nova Scotia Oak, Silverton and Telluride. 22FLOORING supplies and installs Brookside across Toronto and the GTA, with laminate installation from $3.20 per square foot.
