- Kitchens and sunrooms
- High traffic households
- Shoppers buying in person at Floor & Decor
Floor & Decor's exclusive 12 mm laminate with a top-tier AC5 wear layer and a fully waterproof Performance tier. A strong pick for kitchens and high-traffic rooms if you are shopping the Floor & Decor aisles in person.
Pros
- AC5 surface is the toughest laminate wear rating, handling scratches and dents well
- Performance line is rated fully waterproof, so it suits kitchens and sunrooms
- Priced in the mid-laminate range while offering commercial-grade durability
Cons
- Sold mainly through Floor & Decor, so stock and colors vary by local warehouse
- Waterproof rating covers surface exposure, not long-term submersion or flooding
- Heavier 12 mm planks are less forgiving to cut and fit than thin LVP
