Choosing The Best Laminate Flooring

Laminate flooring is a beautiful alternative to solid hardwood flooring. It's cost-effective and can mimic costly flooring materials like hardwood or stone, and it's significantly more rugged than hardwood floors. Laminate is stain-resistant and easy to maintain.
What is Laminate Flooring?
Laminate flooring is made from multiple layers; first backing, then core, next decorative layer, and finally the wear layer. These layers create an exceptionally dense surface.

Most laminate is water-resistant based on its composition. Some brands have a high-density foam core that has been treated with wax to offer an impermeable barrier when clicked together.
