Comfort Heights Vs. Haven Heights: A Comparison

Lion’s Laminate Flooring Lines 

Lions Floor is becoming a known name in the flooring industry, meaning a lot more people are constantly asking questions about and seeking out products made from this manufacturer! One of their most popular products is their Laminate Flooring, known for being some of the highest quality laminate floors in the market with some of their most popular lines being their Comfort Height and Haven Heights! However there is a decent amount of confusion that arises between these two flooring lines due to a couple of reasons. 

This company has earned their reputation as one of the best flooring companies to emerge in recent years. In this blog post we will further detail and discuss what Lion’s Floor brings to the table.

Despite their high relevance and quality in the flooring industry, this company tends to use some confusing language at the best. Unfortunately, language like this is somewhat common in the flooring industry as it makes marketing a lot easier and streamlined, so it's not exactly the companies fault but it's important to stay aware of commonly used yet deceptive language when you’re in the market for something as big of a purchase as this.

Is Lions Laminate really waterproof, is a question many people do ask. However, laminate, at its core, isn't waterproof. It is water resistant. Despite the terms seeming almost synonymous with each other, it’s true that they mean slightly different things. We have another blog post here that details the differences between the two phrases. 

 The meanings are just close enough to be comfortably used as marketing lingo which makes it tricky to find what the floor is truly resistant to! On the official installation sheet with Lions floor, they say to not install this floor anywhere prone to flooding or constant moisture, and to clean up spills and pet urine promptly. 

Comfort Heights vs. Haven Heights

Comfort Heights is a slightly thicker floor with an AC4 wear rating, making it suitable for light commercial as well as heavy residential, it being the more durable option overall when compared to Haven Heights. Its high traffic capabilities and moisture resistance makes it perfect for commercial sites or heavy residential. Because of its hefty strong features, it’s generally considered the more premium option as well as it's able to withstand more traffic and wear and tear. To help with the more premium nametag, Comfort Heights also features a quite intricate EIR technology to give it a highly detailed, authentic wood look.

However, another important factor to consider is the underlayment situation of both of the floors. Comfort Heights specifically does not have attached underlayment which can significantly change the method of installation used so do not underestimate the importance of this step. 

Haven heights featuring an attached pad makes installation easier, especially for DIY-ers. It takes away the extra steps and cost that Comfort Heights require with a separate moisture barrier and underlayment. The 10mm board that Haven Heights comes with is slightly thinner than that of Comfort Heights, yet it still provides adequate stability and traffic control for a home. It also uses standard wood grain embossing, which still gives beautiful wood visuals but they are not as intricate as Comfort Height! Haven Heights also features an AC3 rating as opposed to AC4, making it just slightly less durable.

Final Summation?

Comfort Heights is the more expensive version of Haven Heights, yet still gives you your money's worth. The same is to be said about Haven Heights giving you a good amount of benefits for its price, as these are both very high quality and ultimately affordable options for laminate flooring.Both of these floors will last you a long time in most scenarios, whether you’re installing them in your home or small business.
