Laminate flooring is a versatile, durable, attractive flooring with the appearance of a hardwood floor or ceramic tile. Although laminate flooring looks like wood flooring or tile, 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 or tile. It is then finished with an extremely hard, clear coating made from special resin-coated cellulose to protect the laminate flooring.
