The Parqwood line is available in 10 real wood veneers. Parqcolor Gold offers 51 rich laminate patterns in woodgrains and solid colors.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> </p><div style="text-align: center"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" width="425" height="282"><param name="movie" value="../images/banners/12a.swf" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="menu" value="false" /><param name="wmode" value="" /><embed src="../images/banners/12a.swf" wmode="" quality="high" menu="false" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="282"></embed></object></div>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">ABET’S Vintage line showcases rustic-like woods including aged Pine and Oak in oversized planks of almost six feet in length. These larger plank sizes inspire an "old world" look. Another design option is the raised texture in the Microline collection, which adds dimension to Douglas fir, Bamboo and Wenge wood-like patterns.</p>  <p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Design, when paired with nature, creates interesting results. The Fiber collection, made with jute fibers from recycled coffee bean sacks, will inadvertently have a coffee bean ground into its texture for an added perk.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> </p><div style="text-align: center"><img src="../images/534a.jpg" border="0" alt="ABET LAMINATI premium laminate flooring is a perfect choice for family rooms and high traffic areas.

It is resistant to scratches from chair wheels, foot traffic, pet claws, and scuff marks. It is also resistant to fire, acids and fading and has a lifetime residential warranty. When a homeowner seeks products with high quality, commercial durability and high design they generally choose <strong>ABET LAMINATI</strong>.</p><p>Unfortunately for the consumer, this flooring is rarely available through a local retailer. Due to the market position and pricing, beginning at approximately $8.50 per square foot installed, residential clients usually find Abet’s flooring through a professional designer. However, the laminate floor can be purchased directly from ABET, Inc. in the US, for under $6.00 per square foot including delivery. </p><p> </p><p><strong>Installation is easy</strong>  </p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">Thanks to a tongue and groove joint that is simple but mechanically sound, Abet’s laminate floors can be float-fitted over an existing floor without requiring long hours of work. Plank size is approximately 7-1/2 inches x 48 inches.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> </p><div style="text-align: center"><img src="../images/534b.jpg" border="0" alt="Hard to find laminate flooring products with commercial durability and high design are available directly from ABET, Inc." title="Hard to find laminate flooring products with commercial durability and high design are available directly from ABET, Inc." width="425" height="298" /></div><p> </p><p><strong>Care for laminate flooring</strong>  </p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">One of the greatest reasons for purchasing a laminate floor is its lack of maintenance and its ability to look new for many years. Just like cleaning a laminate kitchen counter top, ammonia and water or vinegar and water work well. Window cleaners are perfect for spot cleaning. Since laminate floors absorb nothing, using soaps that leave a wax residue such as wood soap or vinyl cleaners will only create a haze on the surface. A slightly damp mop will remove dust.</p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal"> </p><p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt" class="MsoNormal">For samples or more information log onto the ABET LAMINATI web site @ www.abetlaminati.com or call 1-800-228-2238.</p>  <p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt">Courtesy:</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%; font-family: ‘Verdana’,’sans-serif’; letter-spacing: 1pt"> Home Improvement News and Information Center</span></p></span>
