Laminate Flooring

Four layers of flooring material fused into one versatile, durable product that’s perfect for busy families – that’s laminate! It’s easy to install, wears well, and is available in various hardwood, stone, and ceramic tile looks!

Typically, laminate flooring will be made up of multiple layers of wood-based materials, configured into individual planks or tiles. The following four layers are common:

1. At the bottom is a backing layer to balance the floor and keep planks or tiles straight while also sealing out moisture. It can be a built-in substitute for underlayment.
2. Next, a core layer makes up the majority of the tile or plank. This high-density core provides strength and stability for the floor.
3. The third layer is a high-quality decorative layer with a hyper-photorealistic printed design, typically of hardwood, stone, or ceramic tile flooring.
4. Finally, the top wear layer on each plank or tile adds luster, texture, and protection from wear, staining, UV rays, and scratches.
