NALFA Committees




Where the Work Happens. Where the Industry Moves Forward.
NALFA’s committees are where ideas turn into action and where the future of laminate flooring takes shape.
This is where members roll up their sleeves to tackle real challenges, refine standards, and build the tools that support performance, consistency, and growth across the category. Whether it’s advancing technical requirements, improving how products are positioned in the market, or strengthening the role of accessories within the system, committees are at the center of NALFA’s impact.
If you want to do more than stay informed and influence what comes next, this is where you plug in.
Technical Committee
Defining Performance. Advancing Standards.
The Technical Committee is the backbone of NALFA’s work.
This group brings together industry experts to develop and refine the standards that define laminate flooring performance. From evaluating test methods to advancing LF-01, LF-03, and LF-04, the committee ensures that NALFA certification reflects real-world conditions and continues to set the bar for quality and consistency.
If you’re involved in product development, testing, manufacturing, or compliance, this is where your expertise directly shapes the standards the industry relies on.
Marketing Committee
Telling the Story. Growing the Category.
The Marketing Committee is focused on one thing: making sure the value of laminate flooring and NALFA’s work is clearly understood.
This group develops the messaging, tools, and campaigns that support members, educate the market, and strengthen the industry’s voice. From retailer and consumer education to member engagement and recruitment, the committee plays a key role in positioning laminate as a high-performance, competitive choice.
It’s where technical excellence gets translated into real-world impact.
Underlayment Committee
Strengthening the System from the Ground Up.
Underlayment plays a critical role in how laminate flooring performs, and this committee is dedicated to getting it right.
Focused on advancing LF-03, the Underlayment Committee works through performance criteria, testing, and education to ensure underlayment products support the full system. From moisture management to acoustics and durability, the group is helping define what quality looks like beneath the surface.
If you’re working in underlayment or system performance, this is where those conversations and decisions are happening.
Moulding Committee
Completing the System. Elevating the Details.
The Moulding Committee focuses on the finishing elements that complete the laminate flooring system.
As LF-04 continues to develop, this group is shaping how mouldings and stair components are defined, tested, and positioned within the broader category. It’s about ensuring compatibility, performance, and consistency so the entire system works as intended.
Because performance doesn’t stop at the plank, and neither does NALFA’s work.
