Laminate flooring: timeless elegance for your home
Laminate is a synthetic multi-layer flooring product fused together through a lamination process. It typically consists of four main layers:
-
Wear Layer: A clear, top coating that protects the floor from stains, fading, and surface scratches.
-
Design Layer: A high-resolution photographic image of wood, stone, or other natural materials, giving the laminate its aesthetic appeal.
-
Core Layer: The inner core, often made of high-density fiberboard (HDF), which provides stability, durability, and resistance to moisture.
-
Backing Layer: A bottom layer that provides structural stability and prevents warping from moisture, balancing the core.
