Laminate flooring is an excellent choice for those seeking the look of real wood without the high maintenance and cost. It is constructed with a high-density fiber core that provides durability and stability. On top of this core is a photographic sheet of wood that gives the look of real hardwood. Laminate floors are resistant to water and humidity. To ensure longevity and protection against high traffic areas, laminates are equipped with a wear layer. This layer acts as a shield against scratches, stains, and fading caused by daily wear and tear.
