Power Dekor Endura DS Water-Resistant Laminate

Spills, wet boots, and pet bowls are where ordinary laminate gives up, right at the seams.

In simple terms: Power Dekor Endura DS is a 12mm AC4 rated water-resistant laminate, a floor built to take water in the rooms where that matters. Squarefoot Flooring carries it, and our own crew installs it.

The Endura DS range is built around a matte wood-look surface. The range includes tones such as Vista, Aspect, Facet, Lustrous, and Airy.

The construction backs up the look. Endura DS runs a 12mm board on the thicker end of the range, which gives a solid, quiet step and bridges minor subfloor irregularities better than thin planks. It carries an AC4 wear rating, a step above standard that holds up to busy family households, hallways, and main floors. The core is high-density fibreboard, which resists denting and holds the locking profile better than the cheaper particleboard in budget laminate. The surface is a low-sheen matte that hides dust and footprints better than a glossy finish. It installs with a drop-lock click system, a glue-free floating install that keeps labour costs down and lets the floor be lifted and reused later. It has a water-resistant core, which lets it handle the spills and humidity that would swell a standard laminate at the joints. It is also antimicrobial, scratch resistant, and pet friendly. It is backed by a Lifetime residential and 15.0 commercial warranty. Because of that core, Endura DS holds up in the rooms that sink a standard laminate: kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, mudrooms, and entries.

Decision line: choose Endura DS for any room that meets water, kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, mudrooms, and entries; for dry bedrooms and living rooms, a standard laminate will also do the job for less.

Our crew installs Power Dekor Endura DS from subfloor prep to final trim, across the GTA, Barrie, and Simcoe County, never subcontracted. Get the base flat and the underlayment right and a click floor lasts; that is the focus of our laminate installation work.

Worth seeing in person, since grain and sheen read differently across a floor. Endura DS is at our Mississauga and Barrie showrooms; contact us to check stock, or compare on the vinyl vs laminate guide.
