Building Material Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring provides the appearance of a true wood floor without fear of damage or staining due to water and moisture. Waterproof laminate flooring is an updated version of the popular wood-based composite flooring that is now resistant to water damage. The laminate flooring provides a realistic look comparable to real wood. People love affordable laminate flooring.

Laminate flooring is versatile, durable, attractive flooring with the appearance of a hardwood floor. Although laminate flooring looks like wood flooring, there is actually no solid wood used in its construction. Laminate floors are made up of several materials bonded together under high pressure. Most laminate flooring consists of a moisture resistant layer under a layer of HDF (high density fiberboard). This is topped with a high-resolution photographic image of natural wood flooring. It is then finished with an extremely high abrasion class Al2O3 layer to protect the laminate flooring surface. Laminate flooring is perfect for anyone wanting a durable floor for a fraction of the price and installation time of a hardwood floor, but with the attractiveness of real hardwood. This construction also makes laminate flooring more environment-friendly as it uses less wood in its construction and makes more efficient use of the wood fiber that is used.
