Laminate is a flooring option that combines highly realistic hardwood and stone textures and looks with increased durability and function. Laminate is a fantastic and more cost-effective alternative to hardwood or stone materials. It can be placed in nearly every area, just take caution when installing in full baths or below-grade (ground) where excess moisture builds. Its unique construction reinforces its resistance to dings and scratches.
Laminate Flooring Layers
- The bottom layer – It is called the backing layer. It is made to resist moisture to prevent board warping for a solid foundation.
- The inner core board layer – It is the stability layer of the floor made from high density fiberboard that is reinforced with a special resin to further enhance water resistance and increase durability.
- The image design layer – A high-resolution picture is placed to resemble the actual wood or stone. This is also where the floors unique texture is applied to enhance its realistic appeal.
- The top layer – This is the wear layer. This protects the design layer from fading, scratches, and damage from everyday wear and tear.
